(12,233 posts)came from the Port Authority.
And after the study was completed only the blocks owned by the rockefeller group (represented by Wolff & Samson), was designated as redevelopment (ie bigger tax breaks), than the rest of the blocks (designated as a rehabilitation area), thus making The Rockefeller Group's land more valuable than the other blocks.
Also, when they were pressuring her to agree to the study, the firm was CC Samson who was now in the Port Authority (and the person who was representing the firm was someone who was from the Christie campaign or staff?) After that, she was threatened by a couple of people, one being the Lt Gov (who was in charge of redevelopment deals from the Christie Admin), that they could help with the Sandy Money if she would approve of the other deal.
And this is the same stuff that gave Christie notoriety in the first place when he was the Attny General and set up that big, fake development deal that took down so many Mayors (including the previous Mayor of Hoboken who did 2 yrs in jail). So, color her surprised when the same shit was going down on her head.
