Patrick Foye, who served as executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as the agency was rocked by a scandal involving lane closings at the George Washington Bridge ordered by allies of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, is resigning.
Foye, who was appointed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2011, has said he learned of the September 2013 lane closings four days after they began. He famously wrote a blistering e-mail saying he would get to the bottom of it.
