Bridgegate

The George Washington Bridge connects New York with New Jersey. In recent times, it has become a center of controversy. Two out of three lanes are inaccessible in Fort Lee. This blockage is an obstacle for vehicles used for emergency. In case of fires, medical emergencies, and car wrecks, the situation is precarious for fire fighters and paramedics. Fort Lee’s mayor has differences with the governor, apparently. Was this the governor’s way of getting back at the mayor of Fort Lee? There have been long delays and bottlenecks on the highway. New Jersey’s esteemed governor has been embarrassed today. Everything is turning out to be a very sad predicament for someone who is hopeful of becoming President. From a news story found on aol.com
