New Jersey Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D) issued a statement Saturday responding to Hoboken, N.J. mayor Dawn Zimmer's claims the administration of Gov. Chris Christie (R) withheld Hurricane Sandy relief money from her city because she did not fast-track a real estate project linked to one of his allies. Wisniewski, who is the chairman of the New Jersey General Assembly committee investigating last September's lane closures on the George Washington Bridge, said Zimmer's claims are "serious" and had the committee's attention.

"The allegations discussed today by Mayor Zimmer are serious and yet again raise concern about abuse of government power, This certainly has attracted our attention. We need to obtain all relevant facts, confer with our special counsel and determine the committee's best course of action," said Wisniewski.

4. The insident with Zimmer is a perfect example of how Christy works.

He doesn't contaminate himself...he asks others to ask/blackmail threats/requests for him...just like the bridge situation. What a coward! How he could get up in front of the mike and declare he knew nothing in front of the public and all his cohorts...has he no shame? If they can't prove his guilt someday...this will be why. I'll never, ever believe he's innocent...even if someone else confesses. They will be pocketing many, many millions of Sandy money in the future. Sickening!
