“The Gateway Program is critically important to the hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans who rely on the Cross-Hudson crossings and any disruption would cripple our regional and national economies.
The political gridlock preventing its Federal approval is unacceptable. New Jersey has acted as a willing partner throughout the process, and stands ready to provide $600 million in state funding to replace the Portal Bridge.”
“We are all acutely aware of the risks associated with a fai lure to complete these projects, and I will continue to call on the Trump Administration to join with us as true partners to prevent a needless catastrophe. I applaud Senator Schumer for his leadership and advocacy, and I look forward to working with the New York and New Jersey delegations, and all local partners, to move Gateway forward.”
Will someone kindly ask the governor where the $600 million will be coming from? I understand that New Jersey is BROKE and does not have enough money to pay off it’s present debts.
The same place he gets all the money for his goofy ideas….the Tax Payers. The tax payers have an unlimited amount of money just create another tax and WOW money just appears like magic.
Politicians like Murphy and that worthless shiksa Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only know how to do 2 things: think of new schemes to squeeze more money out of people, and waste that money on programs that will cost a fortune and end in failure.
Maybe the President would be more receptive to the Murphy if he wasn’t involved with wasteful litigation against the president
