Nixon era postal boondoggle hits cost wall at Secaucus
An investigation attributes heavy overruns to the New Jersey bulk mail facility plan under Assistant Postmaster General Henry Lehne. The Secaucus project leaped to a $60 million overrun, with pilings sunk deeper due to marshy ground, and a canceled Bronx site renamed as a renovation. A Sun-Sentinel probe notes a $10 million land fill and a lack of experience by contractor Lester B Knight Inc. as factors. The article criticizes the overall push for a costly efficiency drive under Nixon.
