Guess what Christie got in exchange for the $6 million in Sandy money.

The real story here is not the Senior Housing complex but the 19 acre Roche property sitting across the street from the same and next to the Clara Maass Medical Center. Within 2 weeks of Christie's appearance in Belleville and the presentation of the check to Kimble, the Roche property was given status as an "area in need of redevelopment". This gave Kimble, et.al., advised by the township's attorney, sweeping powers over the property including choosing its developer without a competitive bidding process and which was given to none other than David Mack. David Mack is a close friend of Christie and a former Port Authority commissioner. Furthermore, his company was apparently denied from developing the Harbor Lights project in Fort Lee on the part of Mayor Sokolich, which many investigators now believe is the reason why that town's GWB access lanes were punitively shutdown last September.

I hope the investigation commission led by Assemblyman Wisniewski and Senator Weinberg include the scope of their investigation to include the Christie-Kimble-Mack matter.

2. Its A Different David Mack...

David A. Mack of CT is developing the Belleville property. David S. Mack is the Port Authority Commissioner who was a NY appointment to the Authority. They aren't the same person.
