Sandy aid meetings on 18Th & 21st

The governor will hold a clown hall meeting in Middletown, Monmouth County, on Tuesday.

Christie is expected to discuss distribution of federal Sandy recovery funds during his performance at Middletown VFW Post 2179 in Port Monmouth on February 18th. The public "photo opp" hall will be Christie's first time taking questions from a crowd since allegations of politically-motivated George Washington Bridge lane closures and politically motivated diversions of Sandy recovery funds surfaced in January.

Doors open at 10 a.m., with the event starting at 11 a.m. ==> Seating is first come, first served, and open to the public. No bags will be permitted in the venue. Residents may RSVP for the session at TownHall.Middletown@gov.state.nj.us.
