Please don't forget what happened earlier:
Christie vetoes Sandy oversight bill, calling it redundant and wasteful ?While I thank the sponsors for their efforts, and for sharing in my commitment to the transparent and efficient administration of Sandy recovery funding, this bill would produce unnecessary redundancies and waste government resources,? Christie said in the two-page veto message. Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (D-Essex) said the bill would have written oversight into state law, rather than taking the Republican governor?s word for it. ?Residents devastated by this storm deserve the peace of mind that the billions in federal funds slated for the recovery will be administered efficiently and appropriately,? Oliver said. ?This bill would have done that. Now all they have is a stated goal from the governor that can be broken or rescinded without the power of law. With his veto, the governor has weakened oversight and transparency of Hurricane Sandy relief funding.? http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/ ... oes_sandy_oversigh_1.html

The Democratic Party will have a field day with this if he runs for president.

This man is beyond disgusting. Ted Sherman/The Star-Ledger Millions of dollars in federal housing aid meant for victims of Hurricane Sandy went to projects in counties far removed from those areas most impacted by the storm, an analysis of state data shows. Nearly a third of the money ? $47.6 million, earmarked for new affordable housing projects ? landed in Essex and Middlesex counties, while many hard-hit Jersey Shore communities in Ocean saw relatively little of it. The affordable housing program has come under sharp focus in recent weeks after questions were raised over the awarding of more than $10 million in grants involving at least two projects that appeared to have political overtones. In both cases, Gov. Chris Christie gained endorsements after the money was allocated in two communities barely brushed by the storm. Read More
