Cause:
The city whose Democratic mayor said GOP Gov. Chris Christie's administration tied Superstorm Sandy aid to her support for a real estate project has, so far, received a level of aid from state-run programs that is similar to what other towns got, a review of grant data shows.
Effect:
Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer is no longer discussing her allegations that New Jersey's second-largest city has been shortchanged on Sandy funds, that its aid is being held "hostage" as political leverage or that she feared further retribution in the next round of funding.
I don't much care about Chris Christie, but it's always amusing how quickly a story like this can go down the ol' memory hole.

Truthiness.
In addition to what Mr D Said, I'd almost thing that strong arming and the seeking of retribution would be endearing things for a New Jersey electorate.

Yeah, you'd think that. Go figure!
