It seems that they haven't learned their lessons yet. Another $5 million for tourism advertising. Does this mean more Christie family on the beach commercials? Maybe they can jazz it up by having George Costanza come by and pull a Titleist out of his blow hole!

New Sandy aid spending plan draws criticism

The state Monday released its plan for spending more than $1.46 billion in long-awaited federal funding for victims of Hurricane Sandy amid mounting criticism over how well and how fairly the money is being distributed.

The proposal pours hundreds of million of dollars into existing housing recovery programs with lengthy waiting lists and creates infrastructure programs aimed at mitigating flooding and hardening energy systems. It also sets aside $5 million for a tourism marketing campaign and provides $10 million for demolishing dilapidated homes.
