A close ally and former high school classmate of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) was ordered on Tuesday to testify about the scandal involving lane closures on the George Washington Bridge.
David Wildstein was subpoenaed to testify at a hearing Jan. 9 by New Jersey Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D), who has been leading the investigation into the September lane closures.
Wildstein was the director of interstate capital projects at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the bridge.
is Christie's jig up? as mean spirited as he is to his constituents not much of a reach for him to play the playground bully and get even for the Fort Lee's mayor not endorsing him. a reasonable person would have looked at like "i won didn't need him anyway", not screw the citizens with gridlock and loss wages from missing time or not being able to get to work.
Some Democrats have alleged Christie's Port Authority appointees had the lanes shut because a Fort Lee's mayor declined to endorse the governor's re-election bid. Wildstein has said the lane closures were the result of a traffic study and Christie has repeatedly denied any role in the decision to shut the lanes."When not making traffic cone jokes and shrugging off the threats to public safety these lane closings created, Gov. Christie has made clear that this decision was largely the fault of Mr. Wildstein," Wisniewski said in his statement announcing the subpoena issued to Wildstein."So as we continue gathering information on this matter the time has come to hear directly from Mr. Wildstein. The public deserves answers as to how this decision was made, who was involved and its true purpose. I look forward to Mr. Wildstein providing insight into this decision that put public safety at risk and raised serious questions about this vital yet dysfunctional agency being used for political vengeance."
has the golden boy image been tarnished if guilty doing something like that is worse than raising taxes it is a right now in your face impact and all that was loss or compromised will not be forgotten. wonder how many republicans will seek his indorsement or support?
or will we see another republican recall nothing hurts more than electing someone who was not as advertised, makes you feel like a fool for being fooled it's personal.
