Without irony, Christie embraces cross-Hudson capacity

http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/albany/2014/12/8559242/without-irony-christie-embraces-cross-hudson-capacity

Now, Chris Christie thinks the region needs to do more about cross-Hudson rail capacity.

“Unfortunately, options for crossing the Hudson River have not kept pace with this population growth," reads a report endorsed by Christie and Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The report was issued by a special panel they created shortly after the Bridgegate scandal, in which Christie's appointees at the Port Authority manufactured cross-Hudson traffic for political reasons, and several years after Christie unilaterally killed an undertaking called Access to the Region's Core, which was the last, best solution for increasing rail capacity across the Hudson River.


Are the people of NJ happy they elected this POS twice. I don't want to here them complain when they wake up to see how much he fucked their State.

He is 100% a political creature. If it starts to look bad, he'll change back.

Of course the dems in office are selling out as well, just not as fast.

....... (Christie) would not only sell his mother up the river, he'd send her C.O.D.

He's a sleazebag.

Why don't I see it in the NJ news sources?

Seems the NJ media want to protect Il Dulci.

I'm sure you won't get through if you don't pose on some other issue but it would be fun to hear.
