Christie Views Lane Closings on George Washington Bridge as Overblown

2. Here in Chicago mayor daley bull dozed a tiny airport in Chicago

because he wanted a nature preserve there. He did it in the middle of the night. He kept getting elected after that. There was some outrage. But, he was king here.:

Ten years ago Saturday, Richard M. Daley sent in bulldozers under cover of darkness to carve giant X’s into Meigs Field’s only runway.

Daley initially claimed he did it to protect Chicago from a terrorist attack.

But he later acknowledged the obvious: He had wanted to convert Meigs into a park as far back as 1995 and seized the opportunity when he could, reneging on a handshake agreement with then-Gov. George Ryan to keep Meigs open until 2024.

That was the jr daley. Not the one who bashed heads at the democratic convention. That was his dad.


My point here is that often these powerful figures don't get touched by scandal.
I don't think christie will pay any price for what he did just like our mayor (who is a dem btw).
