Oopsie -- it turns out that
Christie even cheated on his cheating!

Gov. Chris Christie's administration...railed (against) a...report alleging that Hoboken was shortchanged $700,000...the state hadn't used the same criteria for Hoboken as for other cities when it determined how much the city would receive from the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Energy Allocation Initiative...(A) spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection said that the report relied on incomplete data, since the final grant awards had yet to be finalized.

Huh? What does not using the "complete" data have to do with not using an equitable formula calculation? Watch your step, NJDEP -- you're just a subpoena away from having to explain why you didn't tell anyone that
their air pollution monitors weren't working during the bridge closing!
