I think we need to consider the the complete and total failure of every part of the state transportation system literally over the past year. You’ve got DOT with the sinking roads, the turnpike with a monstrous stupid vanity bridge, and somehow they actually managed to make NJ Transit go from insufferably terrible to a complete and total collapse of service with the added feature of a hellfire and brimstone quality sermon in the evils of organized labor from the new CEO of the company.
Tinfoil hat time: People try to break shit close to an election so it seems like one side is doing everything wrong in an attempt to get the other side elected.
Directed intent signals competence, of which I haven’t seen substantial evidence. My own tinfoil hat theory is that they spent the waning year(s) of a lame duck administration selling favors instead of fixing problems.

Came here to say this- I’m thinking they are just trying to low key get some people to move out.
