Yes, NJDOT head Jamie Fox came out against the report and subsequent reform plan of Governor Christie, before the plan essentially died. This happens as New Jersey's DOT runs out of money to fix the bridges around the state that are unsafe, and has had to begin closing them.Gov. Christie's head of transportation said Monday he is against any cutbacks in PATH service between New Jersey and Manhattan, opposing a report commissioned by his boss and Gov. Cuomo that suggested eliminating overnight service to save the Port Authority millions of dollars each year."This is not the way I would save money," Jamie Fox, who once served as deputy executive director of the Port Authority, told a meeting of the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority. "Mass transit is the future of this state."
No word on if Governor Christie closed Fox's home street.
That's nothing compared to this though:
Gov. Chris Christie’s State of the State speech on Tuesday pushed one of New Jersey’s most conservative state senators over the edge, leading to the harshest criticism of the governor ever from a Republican state lawmaker.I don't have much to add there. Chris Christie isn't so loved in the NJ Republican circles these days I guess.
State Sen. Michael Doherty (R-Warren) said Christie when he first ran in 2009 “sold himself to the people of New Jersey that he was going to change it.”
“And he didn’t,” Doherty said in a phone interview.
“The governor’s possible national ambitions have distracted him from doing the job he was hired to do in the State of New Jersey,” he said.
In an interview with PolitickerNJ.com published this morning, Doherty was quoted calling Christie a “failed” governor. Asked about it by NJ Advance Media, Doherty declined to repeat that exact word. But he nonetheless offered a scorching review of Christie’s speech — in particular his focus on Camden.
