Lots of money spent in Essex and Hudson County. This destroys the 'Christie screws political opponents' agenda, given that Hudson and Essex were the only two counties in NJ not to support him.

You left off who know how many billions to build an office tower, another business that has nothing to do with their transport mandate. That original mandate was to build a cross Hudson rail line, still not done nearly a century later.

The Port Authority apparently has no money to make the Grove Street station handicapped accessible, as a court order required them to do, but $12 million went to Stevens Institute of Technology, $4 million to build a park in Newark, $1.3 million for a "clam depuration plant" (whatever that is) and a whole host of other projects that have nothing to do with the bridges, tunnels, roads, airports or PATH. Doing their core mission seems to have become an afterthought. Here's the article: http://online.wsj.com/articles/port-a ... under-scrutiny-1404964881
