Posted by kp5308 on Tue Apr 10 18:38:06 2012, in response to GAO nails Christie for exaggerating costs ARC cash grab, posted by znufrii on Tue Apr 10 09:44:14 2012. OOOOOK...why has this little tidbit been lost in the dust of the chase to paddle Christie:A spokesman for the governor, Michael Drewniak, said Mr. Christie’s statement of costs had included $775 million to build a new portal bridge, which was required as part of the project. The 70 percent state share, he said, included the costs that would have been paid for by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which is run by both states, as well as federal highway and stimulus funds earmarked for New Jersey. Counting those costs, which the report does not do, would put the state’s share at 65.5 percent. I'll tell you why: It may well be true so it needs to be! So we are left with is what is this story about... partisan hackery or what is (was) the real cost gonna be to the state? Given the NYT's history, I'll wager that if Drewniak's statement above is valid & the GAO is not including all the costs associated with the project & Christie is NOT exaggerating we will never hear about it. If it is the opposite we certainly will :o) |
