Hoboken story on Milwaukee NBC local evening news!

A part of Milwaukee Journal (urinal) company. Even followed up with trip to Florida with "a lot of baggage."

Did say crispy's office said Hoboken got $70 million - which is false - just "approved" for that number.

Nevertheless, I am shocked they covered it so soon after Kornacki's great report.

it's picked up by every tom, dick n harry station across the country.

How could it not be when it's so compelling as a story? Better than the Sopranos or Boardwalk Empire
though not quite up to the Godfather.

WGN radio is the most popular talk radio station in the city. All the shows are live and from Chicago. The hosts are all pretty moderate some more liberal some more conservative.

TRENTON, N.J. — Gov. Chris Christie’s administration is denying a New Jersey mayor’s claims it withheld millions of dollars in Superstorm Sandy recovery grants because she refused to sign off on a politically connected development.

I think this story is the tipping point ala Malcom Gladwell.
