He says the routine left him feeling miserable but more energetic, cost nearly $1,000, and highlighted how much his diet in Hoboken and New York affected his health and daily habits.
• NJ Mayor accuses Christie's Administration of Withholding Sandy Funds as Political Payback (rightspeak.net) — Hoboken residents are at the center of a political storm as Mayor Dawn Zimmer alleges the Christie administration tied Superstorm Sandy recovery funds to her support for a private redevelopment project. She says the city requested $127 million for rebuilding but received only a fraction, while state officials firmly deny any political retaliation.
• Hoboken's Community Leaders are Are Getting Their Groove On for a Good Cause (hobokengirl.com) — Hoboken community leaders are preparing to star in "Dancing With Our Hoboken Stars," a charity dance competition hosted by Fred Astaire Dance Studios on Washington Street.
