TRENTON Gov. Chris Christie took nearly a year to implement a law he
signed that would require close oversight of federal Hurricane Sandy
recovery money, a report this morning said.
.
Christie signed the "Integrity Monitor Act" in March a bill that would
require independent monitors to oversee how the state government
distributes billions in aid. The monitors would be assigned to all
projects of $5 million or more.
.
But integrity monitors weren't put in place until January 2014, according
to a report by MSNBC's Steve Kornacki. And, the report said, a company
given a prominent role in the monitoring employs Christie's brother, Todd.
.
Christie spokesman Kevin Roberts told the TV show that the monitors spent
the past 10 months being trained and that no quarterly reports to the
Legislature required under the law "have been filed because none have yet
been due."
.
Roberts added in an email to the Star-Ledger that before Christie signed
the legislation, he issued an executive order that "mandates the
pre-approval by the state comptroller of all contracts dispersing
Sandy-related funding."
.
"Integrity monitors are only one facet of oversight from the
administration and it would be wrong to characterize this as the only
oversight taking place," Roberts said.

Christie camp held Sandy relief money hostage, mayor alleges

Two senior members of Gov. Chris Christies administration warned a New
Jersey mayor earlier this year that her town would be starved of hurricane
relief money unless she approved a lucrative redevelopment plan favored by
the governor, according to the mayor and emails and personal notes she
shared with msnbc.
.
The mayor, Dawn Zimmer, hasnt approved the project, but she did request
$127 million in hurricane relief for her city of Hoboken 80% of which was
underwater after Sandy hit in October 2012. What she got was $142,000 to
defray the cost of a single back-up generator plus an additional $200,000
in recovery grants.

.
Zimmers statements and documentation suggest that Christies administration
hailed for what seemed like a heroic response to Hurricane Sandy in fact
refused to help some of the neediest.
.
Id be more than willing to testify under oath and and answer any
questions and provide any documents, take a lie detector test, Zimmer
said, referring to the Christie administrations denials. And, you know, my
question back to them is, Would all of you? Would all of you be willing do
that same thing, to testify under oath, to take a lie detector test?
.
Zimmers interview comes on the heels of a scandal in which other members
of Christies inner circle conspired to create huge traffic swells,
possibly in an act of political retribution, on another New Jersey town on
the outskirts of Manhattan.
.
Christie, who sailed to re-election last year and has made no secret of
his presidential ambitions, has denied any knowledge of the plot that shut
down lanes at the foot of the George Washington Bridge, one of the most
heavily trafficked in the country. His office and several former senior
aides are currently the subject of a number of federal and state inquiries
into what has become known as Bridge-gate.
