Fort Lee Mayor: I Accepted Christie's Apology

Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich (D) on Thursday said he accepted New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's apology for any problems the George Washington Bridge lane closures caused for the mayor and town residents.

"I accepted his apology," Sokolich said after a meeting with the governor. "We believe we're content at the moment, and an investigation will tell us the balance of what needs to be told."

Even though Sokolich said that he did not want Christie to come to Fort Lee for an apology, Christie insisted and Sokolich said he was glad the governor stopped by.

"I'm glad he came," Sokolich said. "I indicated maybe it wouldn't be productive to come up now. It wasn't to be disrespectful. It was just, would it make more sense to do it when the investigation is completed? The governor insisted, and we would certainly welcome our governor with open arms, as we did."

1. Not a bad p.r. move, graciously accepted his visit and apology showing respect to the office of Gov.

while also mentioning the investigation twice. Maybe he should wait until after the investigation to come up. In other words, "come on up here when you are forced to tell the truth".

2. I am impressed with Mayor Sokolich.

He is very cool.

3. Sokolich was so good on TV last night that Christie was smart to get his ass up there in a hurry

I think he's still screwed himself.

5. Or is it like Frank Wolz giving Johnny Fontane a role

after he gets "an offer he can't refuse"?

Did Christie threaten to block off the bridge again?
