NJ Mayors: Was Christie Getting Revenge on Me, Too? --- What if Ft. Lee was the tip of the icebeg?

Mayors in New Jersey say they're starting to consider foul play on behalf of the Christie administration in light of the George Washington Bridge lane closure controversy.

..................

In Jersey City, Mayor Steven Fulop recently disclosed that the Christie administration cancelled several meetings — the day after he refused to endorse the Governor.

In Elizabeth, Chris Bollwage, who has been the mayor for 21 years, says his city has gotten payback from Christie after its state legislators opposed several pieces of the Governor's legislation.

“The Governor's retribution was to close down the Division of Motor vehicles here in the city of Elizabeth, which is the fourth largest city in the state of New Jersey,” Bollwage said.

vindictive scumbag ReTHUGs ever.

They are operating like CIA operatives overthrowing all opposition to their agenda.

It is frightening because New Jersey is the tip of the iceberg.
That is what the Democratic Party has to expose to everyone.

The nastier and meaner he is the more they like him. They envision him doing all those nasty retaliation things to Dems. He and Rush are two of a kind.

... and runs to him, tail wagging, for comfort.

I wonder whether Christie got a specific satisfaction from treating the citizens of New Jersey like that while being so beloved by them.
