I would certainly sue for that too.
I wouldn't pay out a penny. There is no one who guarantee's anyone's travel time.

Christie has hired Gibson, Dunn as an adviser for the bridge closing issue, but Gibson, Dunn also represents the Port Authority in the AAA lawsuit against the PA for the toll increases. Some see this as a conflict of interest.
Only those with functioning eyes, and a conscience.

Point is , no side is equally better but rather then parading around trying to demonize 1 party how about waking up and fixing both parties. Just an idea.
No, lines have to be drawn or we should just have one party like the USSR.

The Republican base of old, angry white people is dying off. The country is becoming more diverse and they aren't buying what Republicans are peddling (all in for the rich, let's deport all illegals and build a giant fence).

If the State purposefully causes a 4 hour backup on purpose for no legit reason other than to create gridlock? You bet your ass I'd be suing for damages. And winning.

I wonder how many sued Al Gore when he closed the NJ Turnpike and GSP when heading to Bon Jovi's house for a fundraiser back in 2000?

You'd think CC is the only story in town with wall to wall media coverage.

Guess the media and self righteous dems like Pallone, are all tuckered out and resting nicely as...... the FBI continues its investigation of sen menendez.

The silence is deafening as the standard to which dem and rep legislators are held is quite different for a lane closure on a road with daily lanes closures vs "Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is the subject of a federal criminal investigation for his dealings with two Florida businessmen who are fugitives from Ecuador,…" 1.23.2014 newa

A bonehead move for sure, but defensible as security precaution.

There is no defending the GW closing.

To tie it all together, Christie went after Menendez in '06 on Bushie's orders and dredged up...absolutely NADA. Someone also tried to claim that he was getting hookers in the Dominican a few yrs ago. Nothing came of that. I'm not saying Menendez is innocent or a boy scout here but he's used to these accusations.
