Christie was on the radio this morning and explained this whole mess. He said every dollar over 8 billion is on the taxpayers of NJ and so far he has over run estimates of 2 to 5 billion with no end in site.

He said he could not in any conscience sign the taxpayers up for such an open ended liability like that.

Good for him. We need this man to head the U.S. Treasury

No we don't.

The man is a bureaucrat who is increasing costs with more red tape.

He should be cutting through the red tape to help bring the project in ahead of schedule and under budget.

I am sad to say that we have a similar project here in Northern Nevada. A “signature” bridge that started out as a $125 million project has ballooned to over 350 million. All to have a “stunning” view. It runs in the snow line and will be a giant wind hazard for trucks. Never the less we had to have it. Odd thing is that I testified twice that a cut and fill would be cheaper and safer but no - then they did the cut and fill to build the damn thing and it will ALL be removed. Government logic and what is not seen.
