Trenton, NJ - Governor Fires Education Commissioner over Funding Mistake

Trenton, NJ - Gov. Chris Christie has fired state education commissioner Bret Schundler in the wake of the controversy over the state’s loss of up to $400 million in federal school funding, Eyewitness News has learned.

The Newark Star Ledger reports Schundler refused to resign after the state lost out on federal school funding blamed on a clerical error.

However, video surfaced that appeared to contradict Schundler’s account of what happened when the state delegation took part in the application process.
