Great reporting by The Record in discovering and investigating this wasteful spending by NJ Transit. https://www.njherald.com/story/news/wat ... 338070007/

Behind a subscriber paywall, unfortunately.

Interesting that Onyx is also involved in the Metropark redevelopment: https://re-nj.com/russo-onyx-and-termin ... k-station/

NJT wasting money is nothing new.

In 2003 NJT purchased a plot of land in Lakehurst for a train station.

It’s never been touched since then.

What a scandal! Great job by The Record in reporting this! https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/ ... 413864007/

Where is this plot of land?

This is going to be interesting to watch given the agency's precarious position in regards to revenue shortfalls. Better get the popcorn out.

The plot of land is next to the Route 70 bridge. I’ve been told it’s on a tax map somewhere. Tried looking but phone isn’t cooperating as usual

More troubling details today about NJT wasting $$$ on its new HQ. https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/ ... 433496007/

How close is the Passaic river? Its stink is certainly present.

A friend sent me this. Looks like the Union Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen isn’t happy about these new offices…
