Hired drivers' lawsuit accuses Christie administration of 'reckless conduct' in lane closures

By Thomas Zambito/The Star-Ledger

Six livery car companies that say they lost business while stuck in traffic at the George Washington Bridge in September filed a class-action lawsuit in Superior Court in Hackensack today against the Christie administration and the governor’s campaign operation, claiming their "intentional and reckless conduct" conspired to shut down bridge lanes.

Lawyers for the six companies say the class-action, if certified by a judge, could involve thousands of other motorists who found themselves stuck in traffic during four days of shutdowns.

<...>

The livery companies — all based in New Jersey — are GW Car Service, Lime Taxi, Palisades Enterprises, Fort Lee Car Service, Van R Us and Bergen Transportation Services.

<...>

On Thursday, six New Jersey residents filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Christie, the state of New Jersey and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, claiming they were late for work as a result of the lane shutdowns. One claimed to have suffered a panic attack.

4. Christie

is a figment of the media's imagination.

They portray him as this widely popular figure in NJ when the reality is he has been bullying everyone in the state.

There are those who bought into the hype, but a big chunk of the state see him for what he is.

He's finally getting exposed.

"Is it wrong that I'm smiling."

7. The PR agencies package different varieties of shit

and people still buy it- it's all marketing all the time.
How did this nasty, vindictive ReTHUG scumbag pass the smell test?

3. And, WhytheFuck Not!? People's livelihoods were on the

line as well as their Lives.

Is Trenton going to go bust thanks to Christie and his Culture of Big Bullies?

8. These law suits, assuming they go ahead, will have the right of discovery...

subpoenas for documents will be more far reaching than the ones the investigative committee's will be. Not good news for Christie I have no doubt.
