Okay, I did some quick research on one of the companies behind the Fort Lee Project, Tucker Development. Tucker Development is developing the western half of the property. This company was founded by Richard H. Tucker, Highland Park, IL. The company has a commercial real estate portfolio exceeding $1B in value with properties in NJ, IL, PA and WI. Richard Tucker's campaign contributions show a strong preference for democratic candidates; although he has provided financial backing to candidates from both parties. I see a substantial contribution to Cory Booker's 2013 Senate campaign.

According to the New Jersey campaign donations database, neither Richard Tucker or Tucker Development have donated to any candidates for state or local office races.

So maybe this was sending a message and that message was: get out your checkbook.
