TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Gov. Chris Christie says Superstorm Sandy caused $36.8 billion in damage in New Jersey and he’s requesting that amount, which is greater than his state's entire budget, from the federal government.
Christie says more than 30,000 homes or businesses were destroyed or sustained substantial damage from last month's storm.
The governor says the Federal Emergency Management Agency has distributed more than $500 million in aid since the storm and 230,000 New Jersey residents have registered for assistance.
Earlier this week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked for $42 billion in federal aid, $32 billion for repairs and restoration and more than $9 billion to head off future disasters.
