New Brunswick, NJ – During his visit to Woodbine to discuss the extension of Route 55 in Cape May and Cumberland Counties, greedy drug company CEO Bob Hugin conveniently ignored his staunch support for Chris Christie, who by all accounts failed to make necessary infrastructure investments during his eight years as governor.
“When it comes to meeting New Jersey’s transportation needs, building bridges, repairing highways and improving mass transit, the eight years under Chris Christie were an abject failure. If finding a real solution to the Route 55 traffic nightmare was such a concern for Bob Hugin, then why did he continually stand by Christie and donate $250,000 to his failed presidential run,” said Menendez Campaign Communications Director Steve Sandberg. “As the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing, Transportation, and Community Development, Senator Menendez has continually delivered record federal highway and transit funding for New Jersey. In the most recent transportation bill, he secured over $1 billion in annual, guaranteed highway funding and over $600 million in annual, guaranteed transit funding to ensure New Jersey has the resources it needs to complete the transportation projects the State deems a priority. But the State for eight years under Chris Christie never once prioritized the Route 55 bottleneck or even devised a workable plan to fix the problem and make life easier for people of Cape May and Cumberland. It was never a Christie priority, and it’s certainly not Bob Hugin’s. Bob Hugin is a phony and a fraud, who will say or do anything to get elected, but New Jerseyans won’t be fooled.”
