Earlier this week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie lashed out at the Obama administration for not giving it a chance to correct an application error, costing the state $400 million in education funding. Apparently Jersey did have a chance, though!
New Jersey was not among the winning states announced yesterday in the Obama administration's "Race to the Top" contest for federal education funding. The only reason? A single clerical error on its application. And it'll cost the state $400 million.
New York was among the winning states announced today in Barack Obama's "Race to the Top" contest, where states compete for federal education money. A celebratory Governor David Paterson accidentally called it "Race to the Cock," though, to Twitter's delight.
