ANOTHER CHRISTIE PORT AUTHORITY SCAM

Star-Ledger editorial today:

Gov. Chris Christie has another Port Authority scam to explain, this time over the killer toll hikes at the Hudson River crossings that he approved in the summer of 2011.
At the time, the governor expressed shock that the Port Authority would dare to propose roughly doubling the tolls over a few years.
Now we learn it was all an act. According to six people who worked at the Port Authority that summer, Christie knew about the toll hikes in advance. In a tawdry bit of political theater, he and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo got the Port Authority to inflate its initial request so they could trim it down to size and appear to be champions of hard-pressed commuters.
“It was all b------t,” one of the sources told the Star-Ledger’s Steve Strunksy.
Christie is refusing to discuss it. But the legislative committee investigating the Port Authority has issued subpoenas, so we will eventually hear the grisly details.

TUSCAN SCHOOL ICY PATH IGNORED AGAIN TODAY

So even after many complaints, warnings from the police and fire chiefs, and our own demands for improvement, a major walkway from Harvard Ave. to the Tuscan School playground was covered with ice again today.

They manged to clear the playground of ice last week, but this just stays dangerous and blocked off with nothing more than yellow tape.

How about some salt or the same ice-breakers they used last week?
