New York Sen. Chuck Schumer this morning strongly criticized Gov. Chris Christie for canceling the ARC tunnel project that would have added a new rail tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan. Schumer, a Democrat, called Christie's choice to kill the so-called access to the region core tunnel a "terrible, terrible decision" and urged the Republican governor to reconsider. But at a press conference in Newark to announce the approval of 23 new charter schools across New Jersey, Christie responded to Schumer's criticism by saying New Jersey would not be able to afford any cost overruns on the project. Christie noted that unless Schumer was able to contribute another $5 billion dollars, he should "mind his manners on the other side of the Hudson River." (Video by Nyier Abdou/The Star-Ledger)
