The committee of the New Jersey Legislature investigating last fall’s abrupt lane closures of local access lanes to the George Washington Bridge has subpoenaed Gov. Chris Christie’s choice to be his next chief of staff, Regina Egea, to testify before the committee July 8.
Assemblyman John Wisniewski, D-Middlesex, the co-chair of the New Jersey Legislative Select Committee on Investigation, said Egea was the recipient of an email forwarded by Bill Baroni, the former deputy executive director at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, from Executive Director Patrick Foye, who ordered the lanes reopened and suggested the closures may have violated state and federal laws.
