the Christie administration withheld millions of dollars in recovery grants because she refused to sign off on a politically connected development

As if there's ever, in the history of New Jersey, a development that wasn't "politically connected."

Hell, you still can't paint your curb in NJ's urban areas without giving Bob Toricelli a lollipop and throwing some nickels on Frank Lautenberg's grave.

It sounds like the Christie Administration was saying there was relief funds available for a certain development, but the mayor of Hoboken prefers the method where you give the Democrat the money first, and then they decide what to do with it.

In other words, it was a tug of war between the Democrats and Republicans over who was going to get the credit/patronage/payola for the development.
