(11,464 posts)I went and voted for Mary Buono in the NJ primary for governor last week in the rain
our governor the republican tea party guy REFUSED an already 100% paid NEW tunnel from NJ to NY that would have alleviated traffic,
brought in millions in fares, given jobs to 1000s and made a needed link to Manhattan and vice versa
He said NO kowtowing to the tea party
then Sandy came and flooded one tunnel and saw the need for new ones
but not the one that was 100% paid for by the federal government
and so it goes.
But what made the economy dip was the 7 years from 2001-2008 were NOTHING was done to the ugly hole in the ground that could have been rebuilt and vital in 2004.
So how does one stop the other?
Now there is a new building there, business is thriving, the market is at the highest ever, housing and housing prices are up
all signs are moving up and forward (instead of down and backwards) yet all of that is hidden in all these debunked smears.
imho and you are free to disagree.
