Christie urges people to confront dune holdouts at shore

Christie spoke about the dune holdouts at a Friday news conference to discuss possible effects from Hurricane Joaquin.

Fox spokesman Stephen Schapiro said earlier this week Fox had never voted on any matters affecting United since Christie appointed him commissioner in September 2014.

A little more than a year after taking the post, Fox’s prior relationship to Samson – who was also one of Christie’s closest political advisers – and his previous work with United began to shadow his role in the administration.

In addition, the Port Authority has installed new flood-protection barriers to protect PATH train tunnels and stations and is now running pumps to keep water off airport runways.

On the heels of that story, things got rougher for Fox this week when the Record revealed that as transportation commissioner Fox seemed support relieving United of an obligation to repay $104,000 in public subsidies it owed to the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) after abruptly stopping service to Atlantic City global Airport.

His second tenure as transportation commissioner has been dominated by debate over the state’s transportation trust fund, which faces insolvency with no agreement over raising the gasoline tax. A longtime political power broker in state government, Fox had served as a top aide to former Gov. James.

Former DOT officials said earlier this year that Fox had been frustrated since last winter with the gridlock in Trenton about finding new revenue to replenish the trust fund and had considered stepping down then. The Port Authority, which took over the management of Atlantic City airport from the SJTA, says it did not ask for such changes to future contracts, meaning that the impetus for the adjustment likely came from Fox himself.

“That is unprecedented”, Christie said. But just because our best meteorologists can’t say with any certainty what’s going to happen in the next three-to-five days doesn’t mean that breathless alarmists and panicked Tweeters aren’t prognosticating up a storm of their own. Weinberg, along with Wisniewski, heads a joint legislative panel investigating the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal. “I deeply regret we were unable to do so, and with a year behind me, it is time for me to return to the private sector and pursue new opportunities”. He communicated that move to the airline via Jamie Fox.
