David Samson, head of Port Authority, to resign! (Will stay on as law firm partner)
One day after the whitewash, comes this news:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/29/nyregion/christie-press-conference-on-bridge-
Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey announced on Friday that the chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, David Samson, has resigned, the latest fallout from the scandal surrounding the closure of several traffic lanes at the George Washington Bridge.
Mr. Christie said he had discussed the matter with Mr. Samson and they agreed that new leadership was an essential part of reforming the multi-billion dollar agency. Mr. Samson’s resignation is effective immediately.
Mr. Samson issued a statement on Friday, after Mr. Christie made the announcement at his first press conference in nearly three months.
“Over the past months, I have shared with the Governor my desire to conclude my service to the PANYNJ,” he said in a written statement. “The timing is now right, and I am confident that the Governor will put new leadership in place to address the many challenges ahead.”

TRANSLATION: "Christie gave me this job -- and at no salary -- so I approve projects, and then cash in on the clients at my law firm who do business with the Port Authority. Since I'll still be working at my law firm, this essentially changes nothing -- as long as no one notices it's more than enough to impeach Christie in itself."
