N.J. Attorney General Subpoenas DRPA
CAMDEN, N.J. - The New Jersey State Attorney General’s office is now looking into the Delaware River Port Authority, too.
Word of the attorney general's subpoenaes comes one day after Fox 29 News learned that, according to sources, FBI agents talked to DRPA employees on the Pennsylvania side of the river.
The authority has notified all current and former employees that they need to cooperate and hand over requested receipts, records, laptop computers and Blackberries.
The letter to former workers says that they have 48 hours to comply. The State Attorney General’s Office told Fox 29 News that it will not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation.
On Monday, Gov. Chris Christie told Fox 29 that he did expect some sort of investigation to occur at the DRPA.
On Thursday, Fox 29's Steve Keeley asked Christie if the investigation will affect any near term future decisions on whether or not to move out the management or make any changes at the DRPA.
Christie said, “I’m not going to respond to those issues in the context of a federal investigation. I think we have an obligation going forward to continue to press for reforms because ultimately it's the obligation of the state of New Jersey and the state of Pennsylvania to fix this mess, and we can't wait for prosecutors to fix this mess if, in fact, any of them are actually looking at it. We have to continue to push forward and do the things that government needs to do and I can remember as a prosecutor being frustrated when public officials would use investigations by criminal authorities as an excuse not to do something. So I'm not going to fall into that same trap in this job. We need to press forward and do the things we need to do and, to the extent that any criminal authorities are looking at any conduct, I'm sure that if there comes a point in time they have charges they want to bring, they'll bring them. And if they don't, they don't,. But we can't sit around and wait for someone else to do our job. We gotta do it."
