Steve Kornacki's theory on the Christie scandal

8. Just riffing here.. but, maybe because

it was largely given breath and life from a Democratic Mayor who wouldn't endorse. Who knows? Would he cut off his nose to spite his face?

Ground Broken at Fort Lee’s ‘Redevelopment Area 5’

snip//

"In March, the Fort Lee Planning Board approved Fort Lee Redevelopment Associates (FLRA)’s plan for the East parcel—a project known at the time as “The Center at Fort Lee.”

At Wednesday’s groundbreaking, which took place near the corner of Main Street and Martha Washington Way, Sokolich noted that it’s been more than 45 years that the property has been “fallow.”

“It’s spanned six, seven, eight mayors [and] multiple administrations,” Sokolich said. “As many of you know, there was a mayor that was in witness protection over this [property] some 40 years ago. It was the subject matter of a best-selling book, and it’s had a history, which I will tell you is probably second to none.”

Sokolich added, “That history ends today.”

Noting that he’s been given “quite a bit of credit” for seeing the project come to fruition, Sokolich said, “I was just a representative of a group of people that I will tell you were equally, if not more committed to making sure that this project was accomplished than I.”
