This could be terribly serious... misuse of federal funds and all

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie helped channel $6 million in federal Hurricane Sandy recovery dollars to a project conceived years before the storm struck, in an Essex County town that was not particularly hard hit, records show.

The funding, pushed for personally by the Republican governor, was announced less than two weeks before the town’s Democratic mayor formally endorsed him for reelection.

The development is an $18 million senior center and housing complex in Belleville called Franklin Manor. One third of the cost — $6 million — is being paid for by a $1.8 billion pot of federally funded Community Development Block Grants to help the state recover from Sandy.

Not content with merely spewing post-SOTU wingnuttery like his fellow Republicans, Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) physically threatened a local reporter last night when he tried to question Grimm about the campaign-finance questions dogging his campaign — including, but not limited to, a contributor’s accusation that Grimm took envelopes full of tens of thousands of dollars in cash. In the exchange, caught on camera, Grimm, who represents Staten Island and part of Brooklyn, threatened to break Michael Scotto in half and throw him off the balcony. Small wonder Grimm is also one of Chris Christie’s few defenders.
