Were access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, the nation's busiest
span, closed as political retribution against a mayor who didn't publicly
endorse New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's re-election?
.
The governor denies that politics played a role in the traffic-snarling
decision, but the controversy has put an ever-growing stain on Christie's
glossy November re-election victory. And the episode could have an impact
on Christie's White House ambitions.
.
What began as a local story involving The Port Authority of New York and
New Jersey, the agency that oversees the Hudson River crossings between
the two states, has snowballed into an alleged case of political revenge
and abuse of power. Now it's gone national, in large part because of
Christie's well-known political ambitions.
.
On Monday, Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate committee with
jurisdiction, the Transportation Department to investigate the lane
closures, which pretty much guarantees the federal agency will launch a
probe.
.
"Unwarranted lane closures with no public notice can have serious
ramifications on interstate commerce and safety in the region, and as the
Committee with oversight responsibility of the Port Authority, I continue
to have serious concerns about the actions of this agency," Rockefeller
wrote in a letter to the department. "The gravity of this situation
demands a comprehensive investigation. It also exacerbates my concerns
with the governance and previous oversight of the Port Authority."
.
Rockefeller didn't mention Christie. He didn't need to. Other Democrats
have grabbed the opportunity to redefine the governor in a less flattering
light. While Christie has defined himself as a forthright and funny,
pragmatic conservative willing to reach across partisan lines to find
solutions, Democrats are using the bridge incident and the massive delays
it caused to portray Christie as an arrogant bully.
.
The goal: to make Christie, a Republican with proven crossover appeal, a
less attractive alternative to Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat who
seeks the presidential nomination in 2016.
