NJ SENATE, ASSEMBLY TO INVESTIGATE “BRIDGEGATE” TOGETHER

Democrats who control both branches of the New Jersey Legislature now say they will work together to investigate lane closures near the George Washington Bridge that resulted in traffic delays in Fort Lee.  Leadership from both the Senate and the Assembly announced the 12-member committee will have full investigative power as it determines if Governor Chris Christie had any knowledge of the closure before it occurred.  Eight democrats and four republicans sit on the committee.
