#Bridgegate Home Depot and Fort Lee development

Was Home Depot contracted for the building materials?

The stop was the governor’s lone public event Thursday. Christie, who is chairman of the Republican Governors Association, will travel to Florida this weekend to raise money for Gov. Rick Scott (R), who faces a tough reelection race. On Sunday, Christie will meet with more than 100 Republican donors at a reception held by Ken Langone, the billionaire co-founder of Home Depot.

Fort Lee luxury development gets under way

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2013 LAST UPDATED: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 2013, 7:45 AM

The long-awaited Hudson Lights luxury development in Fort Lee that was delayed this summer has secured financing for the project, which will get under way next month,officials said Monday.

The first-phase of the massive mixed-use project, set to be built on an eight-acre lot near the George Washington Bridge, will cost $218 million, with $117 million funded by a construction loan from Sovereign Santander Bank. Tucker Development Corp. and Ares Management lined up that loan, and they will provide equity capitalization for the remainder of the cost.

I also wonder how much is going to go to Koch owned Georgia-Pacific.

3. The Republicon donors (BagMen) will give Christie a Standing O

If the Repubbies gave Vitter a Standing O for his extramarital diaper sex with hookers, then they will go bonkers applauding Christie's vindictive bullying and lying.
