Bergen Lutheran Church, Lidgerwood, North Dakota, continued an autumn tradition Sunday, Oct. 8. The church held its annual bazaar at the American Legion Hall, Ward E. Bullis Post No. 84.
first of all, let me tell you what i know. i made my original inquiry about this whole issue after i read it in the newspaper and heard from constituents that i represent. and that was way back on september 19, about five or six days after the lane closures were reversed. and i sent a letter to a port authority commissioner pat schubert and i copied the governor and david samson on that letter. i believe i expressed in that letter that this was a little bit more than a traffic jam, and that i was at a loss for words as to how to explain what took place here with no notification to local officials, et cetera. so i m assuming that when the governor s office gets a copy of a letter on state senate stationary, signed by the majority leader of the state
0 christie s political career and presidential ambition. after the weekend of desperate lashing out at david wildstein last night, chris christie said this if prior to that i know prior to that there were press accounts about traffic issues up there. and if someone, you know, if i read that or someone said something to me about traffic issues up there, it wouldn t have been meaningful to me because i didn t know there was any problem up there. i didn t know we had actually closed lanes up there before that. when this first became an issue for me, because let s face it, there s traffic every day at the george washington bridge, at the lincoln tunnel, at the holland tunnel. i hear those reports on the radio. we all hear about them. that s not something that rises to the gubernatorial level. twhen first became clear to me that this was a potential issue was when the foye e-mail was put out. now, like i said, there were press accounts before. whether i read any of those if i did or

0 that s our report. thanks for watching. i m john seigenthaler operation road hog. let s play hardball. i m chris matthews in washington. let me start tonight with this. with at least a dozen subpoenas issued by this week s end, and a growing list of office holders past and present scurrying for protection both legal and political, the reputation of new jersey itself stands on trial. it s not just the re-elected chris christie who faces peril but those in both parties and the legislature as well as the governor s office. can the leaders and key investigators in trenton get to the bottom of this operation road hog that has disgusted the country or will they be blocked by a political buddy/buddy system that protects the politician while ignoring the public? well, the good politics now of catching the perpetrators and preventing such acts from happening again overwhelm the people who have committed those acts and sought to hide them. well, the good politics of catching the bad gu
