Christie ally steps down in wake of George Washington Bridge scandal
 [NJ] Gov. Chris Christie's top appointee to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey resigned Friday amid questions over whether he ordered a traffic jam at the world's busiest bridge as political payback.The Republican governor accepted the resignation of Bill Baroni, the agency's deputy executive director, effective immediately, and praised the former state senator's four-year stint at the bi-state agency. "Bill Baroni is a friend of mine, has been an outstanding public servant both in his time in the Legislature and his time at the Port Authority and I have no reason not to believe him," Christie said at a Statehouse news conference, noting their 20-year relationship dating back to the governor's days as a Morris County freeholder.
