(30,247 posts)My mayor is a cool woman who refused to endorse him. Christie paid back the city (almost 80% had been under water after Sandy) by giving the town 1% of the requested relief funds ($300K out of $100M).
Isn't he a charmer?

Yeah, he is. After listening to Maddow's Monday night show I suspect he's going to go down. Haven't watched last night's yet. Since it's pile on Christie all the time it certainly will be interesting.

(30,247 posts)He expanded on what Rachel had talked about yesterday. They had images of the town and Christie meeting with locals and with the mayor. On the phone mayor Zimmer said that she had been angry that the city had gotten so little money for the recovery. At the time she didn't think that it was retribution for not endorsing him, but that now she and other mayors were having second thoughts. The mayor of Jersey City had all his meetings with several Christie people canceled the minute he decided not to endorse him.
