Shutdown Accord Eliminates $271 Million NJ Tunnel Money . . Shutdown Accord Eliminates $271 Million NJ Tunnel Money 9:52 PM, Apr. 9, 2011 Daily Record http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/CN/20110409/ NJNEWS10/110409003/0/PROMO/Shutdown-accord-eliminates- 271-million-NJ-tunnel-money?odyssey=nav|head . .WASHINGTON A late-night measure that prevented a federal government shutdown also ended any chance for New Jersey to use $271 million that Gov. Chris Christie rejected for the Trans-Hudson rail tunnel on some other transportation project in the Garden State.
.The bill, which passed Congress early Saturday morning, keeps the government open for six days and gives lawmakers time to debate a larger measure aimed at cutting almost $40 billion from this years budget and keeping the government operating until Oct. 1.
.The six-day continuing resolution trims $2 billion from current spending a chunk of it from mass transit projects such as the $271 million that was to be spent to begin building a second set of commuter rail tunnels under the Hudson River, linking New Jersey and Manhattan.
.Christie earlier this year scrapped that project, estimated to cost at least $9 billion, saying New Jersey cant afford to pay the billions of dollars in inevitable cost overruns. That sparked criticism from those who contend a new tunnel system is vital to reduce congestion on the Northeast Corridor and boost the regions economy.
.Some New Jersey lawmakers hoped to transfer the funds Christie rejected to some other project in the state. But the short-term continuing resolution ended that possibility by yanking the rail tunnel money and millions more from transit programs nationwide, lawmakers said.
