It has been revealed that the George Washington
Bridge traffic fiasco was caused by the deliberate acts of
certain members within the governor’s office along with
political operatives inside the administration of the Port
Authority of NY and NJ. We are extremely disappointed
that these blatant acts of official misconduct that have
been uncovered so far came from the highest level of
state government.
The New Jersey State PBA commends the men and
women of the Fort Lee and Port Authority Police Departments who worked diligently and continued to serve and
protect throughout the horrific GWB debacle that caused
massive traffic jams and crippled emergency response
times last September.
It is our sincere hope that the public will never again be
purposefully subjected to the risks and dangers imposed
upon the residents of Fort Lee and the NJ commuters who
were inconvenienced and
placed in jeopardy by these
lane closures.
