SEA BRIGHT — The federal Housing and Urban Development secretary said Thursday the government plans to track how “every dollar” of Superstorm Sandy aid money is spent while Gov. Chris Christie fielded more questions about contracts for storm cleanup and rebuilding.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan joined Christie in storm-battered Sea Bright to check on cleanup progress and to pledge transparency on how billions in Sandy aid is spent. New Jersey received word of its first allocation this week — $1.8 billion in Community Development Block Grants, which will be used to help homeowners and businesses rebuild and to mount a marketing campaign to bring summer tourists back to the Jersey Shore.
“With the award of this money, we are also setting up a specific project management office that, like the president did in the Recovery Act, will make every dollar transparent to citizens — they can look at where the money is going, how it’s being spent,” Donovan said.
Christie, meanwhile, was fielding more questions about companies that received contracts to help New Jersey recover. The latest regards Massachusetts-based CDM Smith, which was fired last year for botching its rebuilding contract in Galveston, Texas after Hurricane Ike
I hardly leave comments, buut i did some searching and wound up here Sea Bright Blog: HUD Secretary Shaunn Donovan pledge transparency on how Billions in Sandy aid is spent. And I do have a couplke of questions for you iif it's allright. Could it be just me or does it appear like some of the responses look like they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your shared pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
