Superstorm Sandy

A New Jersey shore town locked in a legal battle with the state over tens of millions of dollars it has spent trying -- mostly in vain -- to hold back the ocean now is more vulnerable than ever.

For hundreds of residents who had their homes destroyed by Superstorm Sandy, they are a step closer to not having to repay excess federal aid the government has been trying to get back.

Two contractors from other states could spend years in prison for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from survivors of Superstorm Sandy in Ocean, Monmouth, and Middlesex counties.

After the damages from Ida, Gov. Murphy mentioned a return to a state-run program that spiked in activity after Superstorm Sandy.

Two Jersey shore towns will move soon to seize narrow strips of oceanfront land from owners whose refusal to grant permission for the work has been blocking a desperately needed shore protection project.
