2. An additional story out from the Star-Ledger

The records also included newly revealed messages between Wildstein and Bill Baroni, the former deputy executive director at the Port Authority. On Nov. 12, Baroni wrote, "Are we being fired?"

Wildstein announced his resignation Dec. 6, saying the controversy over the lane closings had "become a distraction, and I'm going to move on." Baroni resigned Dec. 13.

The records also suggest state Sen. Kevin O'Toole (R-Essex), who serves on the committee, coordinated with Wildstein on Nov. 25 to release a statement supporting Baroni's testimony earlier that day that the lane closings were the result of a traffic study.
