TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie, recently returned from a family vacation in Disney World, will sign a letter this morning requesting aid from FEMA.
The letter, in response to the recent blizzard, will request disaster aid for the costs associated with the storm.
He will travel to Monmouth County for the signing, one of the counties that had the most difficulty getting snow removed from roads and stranded motorists rescued. Crews were still clearing state roads in Monmouth County today.
This will be Christie's first public appearance since snow blanketed the state and left some in northeastern New Jersey buried under record-setting snowfall. Christie traveled to Florida for a family vacation Sunday and has remained there until returning early this morning.
While he was away, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno was also out of the state, so Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) has been serving as acting governor.
Christie will sign the letter at 11:30 a.m. at the Hall of Records of Freehold.
