Christie rips NY Gov. Paterson's suggestion to split cost of Tappan Zee bridge ...:"I can’t make this any clearer to New York than this: stop screwing with us," Christie said. "You’re not going to come and pick our pockets. New Jersey is not going to permit it anymore."
Christie said the only reason New York was seeking to add the Tappan Zee to the Port Authority was to get New Jersey to pick up the bill for some of the expenses. The bridge is in need of $16 billion in repairs."
