Port Authority job created for Christie ally: Give him position at top-he's a friend of the governor

CNN exclusive: Port Authority job created for Christie ally, source says
By Steve Kastenbaum and Chris Frates, CNN



Give him a position at the top of the agency; he's a good friend of the governor.


That's how David Wildstein was introduced to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 2010, according to a former employee with extensive knowledge of the agency's hiring practices.

Soon after, Wildstein was named the director of Interstate Capital Projects, a title that previously had not existed at the bi-state agency...

...

Wildstein's role included scrutinizing the agency's business for the governor and that's why he was given such a broad title, sources said. Those current and former employees said people were careful about what they said when Wildstein was in the room, always assuming it would get back to Christie.
