[quote="Guest"][quote="Guest"]Hopefully he will negotiate better terms or get some kind of cap on NJ's commitment money wise. As far as standing room only on the trains. I commute every day during rush hour and rarely see people standing. From time to time it has happened but in the 5 years I have taken the train I have been without a seat 3 times. Also, what does that have to do with the tunnel? I don't anticipate additional trains, just less traffic in and out of the city and hopefully a quicker commute come 2052.[/quote] I don't know what "rush hour" you take but I end up standing at least once a week and see people stuck standing about half the time. Even when they don't it is a close thing. The problem is the train is already 70% full before it even reaches Princeton Jct. Coming back in the evening isn't as bad for some reason, but going is a pain. If you aren't lucky to be one of the first through the door you are guaranteed a midle seat on a 3 person bench (for the trains that still have them) best case. What are you smoking when you say no additional trains and less traffic in/out of the city?[/quote]

He may be scoring points with Tea Party members across the country for his presidential bid, but he's leaving behind scorched earth in the state. <br /> <br />And I voted for the guy. My bad. <br /> <br />I did because Corzine was a disaster too, I just underestimated that someone else could be worse and unlike some other candidates in the country right now he didn’t come across as extreme. I still don’t think he is an extremist the way some of the whack-jobs running elsewhere in the country are, but what he is, is a political equivalent of a sociopath. He seems to have no regard for the consequences of any of his actions as long as the actions support the image and principles he is trying to project. Long term reality doesn’t intervene. <br /> <br />So now not only are the lives of millions of high tax paying commuters completely screwed by him for decades to come, but the state will lose many more billions from the impact of the decision. And to add insult to injury he’ll now need to use $350 million more of our tax dollars to re-pay the Feds for the work already done. So as a taxpayer I am now paying to not get the new tunnel. Gee, thanks Governor. And don’t give me that crap about how the state is broke. The state is still spending money so it’s about priorities. And the Governor has chosen not to prioritize this project, despite the consequences and despite how many high taxpayers are affected. Or he just doesn’t want to do the REAL work of governing, of rolling up his sleeves and figuring out where to transfer the money from. So much easier to just say “we’re broke and can’t do it” because absolutist sound bites work well for his national base. It’s disgusting really. <br /> <br />I am actually for smaller government and consider myself a Libertarian. But a good libertarian would tell you the role of government is to keep us safe and build and maintain our roads and not much else. So it’s ironic that where we’re still spending billions on billions on discretionary stuff, he’s not elected not to even maintain our core transportation system, the one thing even a good Libertarian would agree with.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu, Oct 28 2010, 11:25 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Christie just destroyed the State</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Currently the delay is 25 minutes out of Penn Station on the Northeast Corridor line.
