After paying lawyers over a million dollars to present it's case, the state must fork over the original amount. I'm glad to see his private lawyers making a ton of money while the blind people have thier teachers cut back. Oh wait to the supreme court makes the ruling that he purposely didn't give education 1.6 billion. So we be in 2 billion in the hole just from last year. But he did sign a bill giving businesses breaks up to 500 million last week. He should go seek out big oil and give them a couple of billion, they need it as gas isn't high enuf yet.
Way to go Christie! You've saved the taxpayers of NJ soooo much money by cancelling that ridiculous tunnel. What a savior you've been to this state. What a joke. He's an idiot, full of bravado, light on leadership.
Ok, Christie fans and fanatics, bring on the flaming defensive responses. Blame someone other than the man who flatly broke a contract with the feds over this tunnel. Go ahead and make it someone else's fault. Hey, wait a minute ----I bet the teachers union is to blame for this whole tunnel fiasco, right?
Obviously, the most important decision, which we think was horrendous, was canceling ARC, which threw away $6 billion from elsewhere, threw away 10 years of planning and a project that was very important and whose loss by the state will be felt for years to come," said Jeff Zupan, a Regional Plan Association senior transportation fellow and professional engineer.
On Oct. 27, Christie did what some considered to be the unthinkable - give up $3 billion, the largest Federal Transit Administration grant in history, for the tunnel project.
U say u want jobs but decline the biggest award in federal history.
Menendez main support is the trial lawyers assoc. So if anyone is beholding to lawyers.....lawyers take a back seat to no one even the blind. Lawyers are ubiquitous.
CC did well refusing federal 'drugs' in the form of money the feds use to ensure dependence. A government grant is the sureest way to local ruin.
Bet if he was an Obama supporter he would have qualified for an exception.
A total lawyer scam on US taxpayers, since the money originally came from OUR POCKETS, dammit. Now they play these games on us that they want our money back, and we pay more lawyers to speak and write about it. Silly human scam that we are all victimized by.
Christie is doing a great job! All those that say this tunnel was needed needs your head examined! It was a waste of money and the only jobs it would have provided are union jobs!
Go back to your union job and fall asleep!

I guess you like it better when jobs that might be created are all minimum wage cashier, and not enough to sustain a family on, like, um in Xanadu?!
And even those Xanadu jobs (IF they are created), would only be at the expense of existing jobs at retailers from other nearby malls that are not feeding off the taxpayers teat.

In its current presentation and form yes but in general no if restructured to throughroute LIRR and soon metro-north trains with NJT then it would not of been the money waster that it was, but due to only accomidating NJT trains while ignoring other parts of the state it was a wasteful investment with little thought.
