Chris Christie will spend less time in prison for his role in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal. A judge sentenced Bill Baroni to 18 months Tuesday, down from two years. Baroni was an executive of the authority that operates the bridge. In November, a federal appeals court threw out civil rights counts against Baroni and co-defendant Bridget Kelly and ordered the resentencing. The former Republican governor wasn’t charged, but the scandal derailed his presidential ambitions.
