NJ Gov. Chris Christie decided that his administration could do a better job with the "Race to the TOP" application which would provide the state with $400 million dollars for education.
Gov. Christie blames Washington bureaucracy for state's failed 'Race to the Top' application | NJ.com
" Gov. Chris Christie this morning acknowledged the state made a clerical error that blew its chance at winning $400 million in federal money for schools, but he blamed Obama administration bureaucrats for not giving New Jersey a chance to correct the mistake."
"“The first part of it is the mistake of putting the wrong piece of paper in," Christie said. "It drives people crazy and, believe me, I’m not thrilled about it. But the second part is, does anybody in Washington, D.C. have a lick of common sense? Pick up the phone and ask us for the number.”
Now it appears the information that Christies team left out was in the draft version agreed upon by NJEA and the Legislatures.
