Gov. Chris Christie says New Jersey's share of $60.4 million in proposed federal aid would be enough to cover the state's rebuilding costs after Superstorm Sandy.
Congress is taking its first hard look at the damage from Superstorm Sandy amid appeals for tens of billions of dollars in additional disaster assistance to rebuild from one of the most destructive storms ever to hit the Northeast.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy are joining forces in a regional effort to land more federal aid for recovering from Superstorm Sandy.
The Christie administration is still compiling damage figures from Hurricane Sandy, but New Jersey's congressional delegation is confident the federal government will be there to help.
