Hoboken mayor reveals new documents

Hoboken mayor reveals new documents
by Ismay

On CNN, she showed a letter sent to Christie dated February 23, she wrote:

"Just as shore towns are not being asked for development in exchange for protecting them from future storms, the solution to Hoboken's flooding challenges cannot be dependent on future development."

Watch it yourself here:

This letter shows she was being pressured for a long time... If she wanted Sandy aid, she needed to help the governor's pet project.

Christie's career is finished. As yoda says "At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was".

I doubt if the Hoboken mayor would defy their order.
They may have had a reason to let this out.
