Christie is fat. What's wrong with pointing that out?
And the jury's still out on his "Governorship".
But so far he's been good at that old Jersey chestnut of sucking off the Teat of New York State.
Tunnel? What Tunnel? He wants more money for it. So New York may extend the subway into Jersey.
He wants a more even split on the cost. As is, NJ is paying the lions share.
They already got freebies with PATH, the commuter tax repeal, and they don't kick in much to transit in the first place. The MTA has to maintain the Grand Central Station, Port Authority, and the Subways..leaving NYC to maintain the roads and bridges. A good deal of the population of New Jersey...work in New York..taking taxes and revenue out with them when they go home..and do shopping.
We pay for their ride to NY.
Sounds like the 2 govenors need to work together to make the split even (by population) so crap like this doesn't keep going.
People also work in NY then go home to Conn, and PA. It's so fricken expesive to live in NYC the drive is worth to many many people.
