New documents obtained by the
Asbury Park (N.J.) Press show the administration of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is
hiding details of the $25 million "Stronger Than the Storm" advertising campaign, which now is at the center of a federal probe.
The Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is auditing the state's decision to award the advertising contract to a firm that charged $2.2 million more than a comparable bidder for similar work, said U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J.
The Christie administration has taken months to release specifics about the bids and the process that led to MWW winning the contract. New Jersey's open records law says government records must be provided within seven business days. The latest batch of documents were delivered to the
Press after the paper threatened to go to court to force their release.
