A traffic nightmare ensued in Fort Lee, New Jersey, back in September 2013. The George Washington Bridge, a double-deck suspension bridge over the Hudson between Manhattan and Fort Lee, faced lane closures and four days of traffic gridlock. Now, emails and text messages recently released show that New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, was the one who instigated the traffic jams as political payback. Apparently, the mayor of Fort Lee, Mark Sokolich, refused to endorse Christie.
One such condemning email reads, 'Time for some traffic jams in Fort Lee.' sent from Christie's deputy-in-chief. She has recently resigned.

This is the most immature thing I've read this year. Really? You're mad that someone didn't endorse you so you turned an important bridge into a parking lot at the expense of your and Manhattan's citizens? Looks like someone is still mentally in high school.
Someone purposely causing traffic isn't something you hear about very often. And I agree that it was a pretty immature thing to do. That just ended up causing problems for quite a few people.
ReplyDeleteWhich was obviously this person's goal. You'd think that it was their job to help ensure that traffic jams like this wouldn't occur, which is ironic.
DeleteWow that is so immature, honestly I feel like he should be charged with some kind of felony. He caused these people four days of work money that could feed their family! Crazy people in our world!
