This is fascinating stuff that Gov. Chris Christie gave gifts to mayors who had to endorse Christie for his re-election bid.
So the chosen mayors were so special that endorsing Christie was (what) a no brainer just to receive a piece of a 9-11 building history to display in their home or office or maybe the chosen mayors just carried it around with them...to show off!

>At photo opportunities around the mangled pieces of steel, Bill Baroni, Mr. Christie’s top staff appointee at the Port Authority, told audiences how many people wanted a similar remnant of the destroyed buildings, and how special these mayors were.
Chris Christie is really a mean and vindictive Despicable Me, political favors, retribution and handing out 9-11 memorial pieces to only the very special mayors that live you and will endorse you for Governor, wow isn't that special.
Furthermore, NJSpotlight.com reported on a Senate Legislative Oversight Committee’s findings that Christie inappropriately handled federal funds intended for relief from Hurricane Sandy.
As thousands of New Jersey residents anxiously awaited relief funds to rebuild their lives in the wake of the storm, Christie mishandled more than $25 million, diverting funds to places with no hurricane damage at all, locations that Christie allies had targeted for development.
Locations with desperate flooding issues were left hanging and, as Mayor Dawn Zimmer (D) reported, short-changing the city of Hoboken by $700,000.
The Despicable Christie saw something in the tragedy of September 11th and it was political advantage, a With me or against me Bush style of politics.
Mayors had to be with him because being against him
had or has severe consequences .
