Corzine Attempting 'Shakedown' of N.Y., Congressman Says

The New York Sun reports:

The behind-the-scenes clash between New York and New Jersey that is delaying construction at ground zero is escalating and going public, with a letter from the New York congressional delegation urging Governor Corzine to get with the program.

In a show of bipartisan unity, the 29 members of the New York congressional delegation asked Mr. Corzine to promote a "prompt rebuilding of the World Trade Center" over "any particular revenue goals."

Earlier this week, Mr. Corzine said that he saw a plan that was not "encouraging" and needed to be "restructured." He said cost overruns at ground zero could jeopardize other infrastructure projects and result in raising the area's tolls.

Democratic party infighting.
