Obama's DOT had given its share to start the project. Christie took the money, then refused to dedicate any NJ state money for the project, effectively shutting it down. The project was no more than shovels in the dirt when everything came to a screeching halt. Christie then took the money and used it for NJ bridges, roads, etc., thus avoiding having to raise taxes or buy bonds to pay for the same thing.
