Of course,government infrastructure is covered by Bacon davis which the GOPs should have pushed to waive in the money. Bush waived Bacon davis for katrina money.

Even under Bacon Davis on fed infrastructure,the gov´t is supposed to give small business 28% of the business,under a law written in the early 50´s.Obama has ignored this law since being in office

Unions getting all this work means recovery will take several times as long to get done and refill depleted union coffers.

This sandy money could have spurned a huge economic growth factor but not with the unions sucking up all the work.

This is a battle Christie should have fought, and it will come back to bite him in the future.

Christie does extremely well at shooting himself in the foot.

Congress should immediately repeal the money they just allotted to Sandy recovery. Until all qualified workers are allowed to assist with the recovery the only taxpayer funds that should be allowed are those collected for the people in the states affected.

Something rotten in this. Why is there no action to file monopoly charges??

Not laughing at you, #5 but your comment makes me wonder......Who would file the charges, Christie? Obama? Hahaha

The people should riot in protest.

I thought that Christy was above the political fray. Silly me. He is just like all the rest of the corrupt, sick pols who say one thing but do another. Shame on him and Obama!

Everyone knows that that giant Sandy bill was stuffed with pork, pork, pork.. Now we know where its going. Washington DC at its finest.

Labor Goonions are killing the country. But hey, they get out the commie vote.

What about all those qualified undocumented laborers that Bammy cares for?

Christie is moving more and more to the Left, maybe he should change parties and get it over with.

2 years from now jersy will still be a waste land thanks to union work rules lol

#8, ´above the fray?´
Where´ve you been? CC gave the election to the Wan!!

I thought the Won promised to cut the red tape? At least he got the color right.

We all know very well that non union utility workers were sent away from the recovery effort....from Day One.

Actually, Christie is very good at shooting off his big mouth.

Chris Christie (D) NJ....

Only union-member taxpayers should be required to bail these Leftists out if non-union workers are denied jobs in the clean-up.

Gee, Chris, an an American taxpayer footing the bill for all the graft and corruption to come in New Jersey, I think this action by your corrupt legislature is REPREHENSIBLE.

Only union workers to do the work equals three times the cost and three times the time involved. But since it´s taxpayers money footing the tab, who cares. Right Christie?

It looks as if the original colonies sans North and South Carolina belong in a toxic dump.

Chris Christie is a political whore and a RINO. He needs to switch parties because he is an excellent Democrat:

1) Embracing the Marxist Obama in the last week of the 2012 campaign.
2) Excorciating House Republicans for not passing $60 billion in graft for his home state (all added to the national debt).
3) Attacking the Republican Speaker of the House on a constant basis.

Chris Christie is exactly what we don´t need in the Republican party. He is Howard Taft without the intellect. Another fat slob politician who cuts deals with Democrats to perpetuate the status quo.

Meanwhile, 3000 miles away, 23+ years after the Loma Preita earthquake in the SF Bay Area, the Bay Bridge `retrofit` is still not completed. It has now become the most expensive public works project in human history.

Democrats have declared total war and are waging it enthusiastically. Obama and his supporters intend to impoverish and render impotent each and every opponent and each and every financial contributer to Republican causes. Our numbers will more and more diminish while conservative calls for decisive and powerful resistance become more and more impossible of implementation. What to do? Well, the least we can do is to stop beating up people who can´t do what we want them to do. Christie is not one of them and I wouldn´t cut him any slack. I was never a "Christie for President" person as I am not that impetuous but I once had an open mind on him.

And silence from Christie´s number 1 fan Ann Coulter.
