During a Nov.-9 press conference in Seaside Park, NJ, Governor Chris Christie pledged to be a partner in the rebuilding effort, but warned, “Next summer is not going to be like last summer.” Parts of an amusement park's rides are all that remain from a boardwalk and pier after Hurricane Sandy in Seaside Park, New Jersey.
