And thank god for that. This tunnel project means jobs NOW and means profits yes for Christie's base (the land barons) later. It means less cars in and out of NYC and more places to start businesses here in New Jersey at the outlets of this transportation tunnel. We are so pleased U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood was able to get at least a two week stay of execution for the project (which we think means they'll have alternative ways to fund this to make Governor Christie happier). This project is bigger than Christie's personal beliefs and yes, we also believe his posturing before he joins the GOP field for president in 2012. This project was envisioned as far back as 1957, an additional tunnel to the main hub at Penn Station in NYC.
We spend the amount of the cost overruns Christie is worried about per WEEK in Iraq (Um, Chris, who got us into Iraq? Your former boss did that's who and you weren't worried about the cost THEN). This project is vital to the needs of this state and we hope somehow it gets back on track and done. Forward thinking societies find ways to make projects like this happen.
