On MSNBC's "Up with Steve Kornacki" this morning, Hoboken, N.J. mayor Dawn Zimmer offered an extraordinary account of her dealings with the administration of Governor Chris Christie concerning federal Hurricane Sandy relief aid. She described an effort by top state officials – the lieutenant governor and a cabinet member – to coerce Hoboken's city government into fast-tracking approval of a proposed redevelopment project by withholding Sandy aid from the government and residents of her city. That project, she says she was told, was "very important to the governor." And if she worked to get it approved, "the money would start flowing to you."
I'm beginning to think that some people will go to prison over this swirling tempest of corruption and abuse. The GWB traffic debacle isn't the scandal; it's
merely the window into a wide swathe of corruption.
Did I mention that Chris Christie will never be President?
