Bridge Scandal: Claim That Christie Didn't Know Fort Lee Mayor Contradicted By 2010 Luncheon By Mark Mueller/The Star-Ledger February 07, 2014 at 8:47 PM updated February 08, 2014 at 1:52 AM NJ.com http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/02/ bridge_scandal_claim_that_christie_didnt_know_ fort_lee_mayor_contradicted_by_2010_luncheon.html . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/k2496md . .During a nationally televised press conference last month, Gov. Chris Christie sought to highlight the absurdity of the claim he sanctioned last years lane closures on the George Washington Bridge to punish Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for declining to endorse him.
."Until I saw his picture last night on television, I wouldnt have been able to pick him out of a lineup," Christie said.
.The governor added that Sokolich "was not on my radar screen," that he didnt know what Sokolich looked like and that he had never heard the mayors name "until all this stuff happened."
.Those statements were undermined today by the revelation that Sokolich and at least two other mayors dined with Christie at a luncheon at Drumthwacket, the governors mansion in Princeton, in 2010.
In an interview with The Star-Ledger, Sokolich said he, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer and one or two other mayors talked about ways to reduce the tax burden on New Jerseyans over a meal of beef tenderloin.
."He was promoting his toolkit for tax relief," Sokolich said. "It was a small number of people. Just me and him, the mayor of Hoboken, another mayor or two and (spokesman) Michael Drewniak."
.The mayor said he later attended two holiday parties at the mansion and saw Christie at a small number of other events.
