NJ must pay $271M for killed NY-NJ rail tunnel
Thanks Governor Asshole for screwing over NJ again because of your pigheadedness.

New Jersey owes the federal government more than $271 million after canceling a rail tunnel connecting the state with New York, according to a debt notice obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

The letter from the Federal Transit Administration's chief financial officer to NJ Transit's executive director demands payment of $271,101,291 by Dec. 24.


It's money the government wants New Jersey to repay for work done on the Hudson River tunnel before Republican Gov. Chris Christie terminated the project. The notification follows a warning letter earlier this month estimating the charges.


"FTA demands payment in full within 30 days from the date of this letter, hereinafter referred to as the 'delinquency date,'" the letter states. The letter was dated Nov. 24.

Crass Christie is really George Fuckup the second.


John Wisniewski, who chairs the state Democratic State Committee and heads the Transportation Committee in the state Assembly, questioned Christie's financial acumen.


"We now know that his looking out for our financial interests will cost New Jersey taxpayers at least $271 million," he said. "To make matters worse, the governor has now pledged New Jersey money to help finance New York's subway expansion — without even seeing a plan or a cost estimate. It doesn't seem like he's being much of a financial watchdog, only a theatrical bulldog."
