As New Jersey Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney, D-West Deptford, N.J., right, looks on, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, left, shakes hands with George E. Norcross III, at a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday, March 5, 2014, in Camden, N.J., for a new kind of school that Norcross' family foundation will help fund. Norcross, a powerful New Jersey Democrat complimented the governor at the groundbreaking ceremony. His kind words came only after he teased Christie about a scandal revolving around traffic jams near the George Washington Bridge. Norcross says he, unlike the governor, has the power to shut down a bridge. The Ben Franklin is closed for a few hours each November for a charity-run sponsored by Norcross. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
