Gov. Chris Christie on Monday defended the delay in disbursing $32 million in donations to victims of Superstorm Sandy from a charity run by his wife.
The Asbury Park Press newspaper, of Neptune, reported Sunday that none of the relief money that came pouring in after the late October storm had reached victims; the first $1 million in grants was approved last week

Zitat"I'm really proud of the job she's done and the professionalism she's brought to the job," he said Monday. "The fact that they're being careful with people's money is something that's laudable."
How do we know it's being handled with care. It's been over 4 months and as far as I see, someone is sitting on all that dough and no one that needs it is getting it. Chalk up another FAIL for the rotund Zero lover from Jersey.

If people pay attention to the way the government handles donations they may reconsider parting with their money.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

Mary Pat Christie's defense of her charity's performance, however, comes on the heels of the pointed barbs her husband, Gov. Chris Christie, has hurled at the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Speaker of the House John Boehner, among others, for what the governor sees as inexcusable delays in helping the state's residents, businesses and communities still reeling from the Oct. 29 storm. Christie famously called Congress' holdup of Sandy relief "disgusting."
The deliberate pace of Mary Pat Christie's 4-month-old charity contrasts with the Robin Hood Foundation's rapid turnaround of the $67 million raised by the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief.
To date, Robin Hood has awarded more than $50 million in grants to dozens of nonprofit groups, with nearly 40 percent of the funds earmarked for relief efforts in New Jersey. The foundation expects to commit almost all of the remaining concert money by the end of the month.
Mary Pat Christie, however, says the comparison is unfair. Robin Hood has 25 years of experience and 85 employees, while her charity has only four people on staff. The Press of AC
I hate the two. Her and her chubby are elitist trash.
