(I think he's a Christy appointee, isn't he?)

Just FYI Toll for my car carrier costs a customer $74 to go from NJ through Staten Island to the other 4 boroughs in NYC. Tractor trailers pay around $100 to cross bridges into NY and Del. That goes to fund the Port Authority. NJ Transit fares are up in the stratosphere. What they don't tell you is the salaries NJ municipal state employees get. You would drool at the pensions of municipal employees. I worked for Con Ed and would gladly trade pensions with a municipal employee toilet cleaner any day.
And that's only the tip of the iceberg here in La La Land.
