Gestern hatte ich mich bei meinem Artikel zu House of Cards gefragt, ob Politiker tatsächlich von persönlicher Rache getrieben sind. Heute dann macht mich der New York Times News Alert auf Folgendes aufmerksam:
A series of newly obtained emails and text messages shows that Gov. Chris Christie’s office was closely involved with lane closings on the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge in September, and that officials closed the lanes as retribution against the Democratic mayor whose town was gridlocked as a result.
[...]
During the campaign, as Mr. Christie and his associates leaned on Democratic local officials for endorsements, many mayors whispered that they feared the governor would withhold money or favor if they did not go along. Even Republican lawmakers who have supported Mr. Christie tell stories of being punished when he perceived them as not supporting him enough.
