Hoping to defy Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s veto of a bill overhauling the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, lawmakers are mounting a campaign to override him in the state Senate.

A longtime New Jersey Democratic powerbroker who helped elect the state’s first black member of Congress has died. Raymond Durkin was 78.

Even after a second report was released on the politically motivated lane closures at the George Washington Bridge, legislation to overhaul how the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is governed remains unsigned by both states’ governors.
