I think I found the woman who died because of Christie's bridge closure. [View all]

91, died September 9 in Fort Lee?

Oh man...Governor....if I have the right woman, you just lost the Tony Soprano vote. My family's Sicilian....this will resonate in NYC/NJ.

Edited to add...I haven't posted the name because I'm not 100 percent certain, and because the family hasn't come out publicly. But...I think I'm right.
