New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday called for a private operator to take over New York's troubled Penn Station, the nation's busiest rail station, where recent derailments and other problems have hampered commuters.
Gov. Christie said that three recent derailments at New York Penn Station "continue to frustrate the travel of tens of thousands of NJ Transit customers."
Gov. Chris Christie's administration defended itself against comments by a federal judge who suggested a venomous climate inside state government led two aides to orchestrate traffic jams at the George Washington Bridge to punish a political rival.
Republican Gov. Chris Christie visited the White House for a high-profile discussion about drug addiction with President Donald Trump on Wednesday, but his office failed to note that his lieutenant governor was attending a separate event there.
