TRENTON — The head of a major development group at the center of allegations made by the mayor of Hoboken met with Gov. Chris Christie in September during a gala honoring the governor for his work on improving drug treatment.

Christie and his wife, Mary Pat, posed for a photo at the event with Leslie Smith Jr., an executive vice president of the Rockefeller Group, the same firm that was seeking to develop three blocks of prime real estate in the densely populated city.

The city's mayor, Dawn Zimmer, went on national television this weekend and accused the Christie administration, particularly Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and another member of the governor's cabinet, of attempting to strong-arm her to support the firm's project.

The firm and Christie's office did not immediately respond to questions about the meeting, how long Smith and the governor have known each other, or whether the Hoboken project was discussed at the event.

4. Old Blue Eyes, a native of Hoboken once had a similar problem with a photograph with

Carlo Gambino...

The same excuses will be used: We take so many photos with various people, it was at an event where many photos were taken.
