There needs to be some serious jail time for anyone found culpable of this. It’s no different than vandals taking down a stop sign at a busy intersection. And I don’t believe for a minute that Christie wouldn’t have known, given the seriousness of the closings and the immediacy of communications nowadays.
I’m no fan of Christie, but I can certainly believe that he had no knowledge of this. He was so far ahead in that governor’s race that he hardly needed the endorsement of the mayor of Fort Lee to make a difference.
