Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey and widely considered future presidential candidate has recently been accused of punishing his political foes, which is not only highly illegal but has potentially destroyed his political career. Last September, the Port Authority announced that a traffic study would shut parts of the George Washington Bridge, causing massive traffic jams in Fort Lee. Then, reporting by The Wall Street Journal and the Bergen Record revealed the possibility that since Fort Lee’s mayor, Democrat Mark Sokolich, failed to endorse Christie before November’s gubernatorial election, the traffic jams may have had a more sinister origin. This was amplified even more when people found out Christie’s deputy chief of staff Bridget Kelly emailed Port Authority “time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.” To top this off, recent developments have shown Christie’s staff members also threatened to withhold Hurricane Sandy relief funds if the mayor of Hoboken did not allow for a high-rise development project that would help Christie. The mayor applied for $130 million in Sandy relief aid and only received $300,000.
