New Jersey governor to re-examine tunnel funding
• ReutersNew Jersey Governor Chris Christie will examine a report this weekend on an $8.7 billion rail tunnel after the federal government urged him to reconsider his cancellation of the project, his spokesman said on Friday.
The tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan would be the largest U.S. public-works project and has been backed by Democratic politicians who argue that major infrastructure projects can boost sluggish economic growth.
