Christie Caught In Lie About Tunnel to Nowhere [View all]

Gothamist.com: Chris Christie...(said) in an interview with Larry Kudlow of WABC:

The reason I killed the ARC Tunnel was: the federal government was contributing to it, the state of New Jersey was contributing to it, and the state or city of New York was contributing nothing...New Jersey was going to be responsible for every nickel of cost overruns...which at that time was estimated to be 3-5 billion dollars...

If I'm president of the United States, I call a meeting between my secretary of transportation, the governor of New York, and the governor of New Jersey, and I say, "If we're all in this even Steven, if we're all going to put in an equal share, then let's go build these tunnels underneath the Hudson River and...and we're all equal for the cost overruns."



Sounds reasonable...except for two things...
