Full audit ordered for NJ Transit
Posted by blue streak 1 on Monday, January 22, 2018 4:41 PM

New governor orders an immediate audit covering all items of operations, personel and finances.  Wonder how many sudden resignations and explaining that will happen ?

Got to get em out so as to fill the jobs with Democrat loyalists who will blame Christie for their failings, especially when asked " which end of the train does the engine go?"

New Jersey Transit is more than a rail operation, so there are probably a lot of issues that need to be addressed.

I say more power to them!  We can start picking the consultant selection apart once that occurs, and then comment on what is and isn't 'politically motivated' in the results once they start to come in.

I expect the usual mix of sensible with partisan intermediate results.  But after the inundation of all that NJT equipment in Sandy, it's pretty clear that some shaking up is in reasonable order.  This simply prioritizes it in ways that expedite the review.

Don't forget the Jersey Transit Superbowl debacle, that turned NJT into a nationwide embarassment.
