The Star-Ledger's new analysis of the distribution of relief funds for victims of Hurricane Sandy has found that almost one third of the federal money provided to New Jersey went to relatively unaffected areas. This is the latest in a string of reports by the state's biggest newspaper suggesting Governor Chris Christie misappropriated Sandy funds.
According to the paper, $47.6 million,meant to build new affordable housing projects for those displaced by the hurricane went to projects in Essex and Middlesex counties--the inland counties home to Newark and New Brunswick, respectively. Essex County received 16.1% of the total money, while Middlesex received 13.7%. Meanwhile, shore areas in Ocean County received 7.7% in federal funds. Ocean County is home to the iconic post-Sandy image of Seaside Heights' signature roller coaster floating in the sea by the ruined boardwalk.

Bridge-Gate, Sandy-Gate I wonder what’s next for poor Christie since he is the current frontrunner for Prez ahead of Hitlery. I'm afraid any one that finds their self in that position will find that flies won't even want to land on them after the MSM is done.
2:23 Not that I want Hitlary to win, but if she is dog poo, then he is cat poo. They both would be horrible for this country.
2:23 Agreed, the main point I was trying to make is who ever the Republican front runner is, is going to get blasted by the MSM. Hitlery of course can do no or has done no harm.
I would not worry about 2016 There will be so much more crisis and corruption reported before the election
They are busy raising money-- just like those NJ funds were used for 10$ for you 20$ for me.
