New Jersey Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D) provided a letter to TPM on Monday showing that she attempted to alert Gov. Chris Christie (R) about lane closures on the George Washington Bridge in September, just six days after the lanes reopened.

.................................

The lanes were closed on Sept. 9 and re-opened again on early on the morning of Sept. 13. Weinberg, whose district includes part of Fort Lee, N.J., which saw days of traffic gridlock because of the closures, wrote the letter on Sept. 19.

The letter was addressed to William Pat Schuber, a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the bridge, expressing her dismay about the lane closures. She also copied Christie on it.

"I am at a loss for words regarding the Authority's sudden change in the traffic flow pattern to the George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee. Reducing the number of lanes during peak traffic times has caused a significant hardship for many in the area. This decision, made with no public comment, has created significant congestion in Bergen County," Weinberg wrote.

1. The only way didn't know is if he were

locked in a dark cellar and only fed shit the whole 4 months.

2. Starting to wonder whether a police chief or two were

involved.

There is no doubt that Christie was involved and actually gave the order.

3. So Governor Coney Soprano Doesn't Read His Mail?

Or is this another instance of radio silence? Seems to me that someone who wants to puff up their bipartinship bona fides ought to actually read and respond to the opposition's majority leader's letters.
