he pulled ARC tunnel to redirect the money, and take credit (and endorsements) for local projects bettyellen Jan 2014 #51

Does rebuilding the WTC have anything to do with traversing the Hudson? FarCenter Jan 2014 #57

not more money- just redirecting the ARC $$ (based on lies about budget) to projects less needed. bettyellen Jan 2014 #59

Pulaski Skyway fix should be paid for with gas taxes or road tolls, NOT PA money slated for rail to bettyellen Jan 2014 #60

Christie has taken it to a whole new level, shutting down GWB and ARC. SunSeeker Jan 2014 #68

The GWB was not shut down - two lanes of an three-lane on-ramp from Fort Lee city street were closed FarCenter Jan 2014 #70

3 lanes from NJ Tpk local, 4 from NJ Tpk express, 2 from 1&9, 2 from Palisades Pkway were unaffected FarCenter Jan 2014 #84

only closed to punish "Buono voters", according to CC's staff. Spin THAT. bettyellen Jan 2014 #87

See Washington Post maps showing the lane configuration before and after closure FarCenter Jan 2014 #90

does that change their actions, gleefully hurting thousands of Dems, only because they are Dems? bettyellen Jan 2014 #92
