I'm a bit confused. Is the "traffic study"-excuse still in use at all?

This is a Republicon abuse of power scandal. IOKIYAR.

2. They can't produce it

Because there wasn't one.

All fair questions - but it doesn't exist. And I'm responding to get this on my list of threads to watch - because it can't get lost in the mix.

I found an interesting article from October when the P.A. actually DID shut down lanes of the GWB in order to run emergency/first responder tests. THAT was the correct way to shut down lanes for testing, studies, anything else.

The Port Authority police and engineers were NEVER called in for this 'study'. The study doesn't exist - but as a tax payer in NJ - I want it. I want that study.

Or - I want a statement from the Guv'nah that he admits there was never ANY study conducted. It was done out of spite.

7. The funding issue is important: Where funds possibly embezzled with a study that doesn't exist?

Maybe a corruption probe should be launched.

He said maybe there is one, maybe not. Incredible!

Like you, I just want someone to officially ask where this study is! That should be a major point in the investigation. Let's see the study and if there isn't one, then it needs to be conceded by Christie that it doesn't exist.

5. First of all, what kind of traffic study shuts down 3 out of 4 lanes on a bridge?

That is plain ridiculous! Nobody on TV seems to question it- like its a normal thing!
