TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Chris
Christie<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/christopher_j_christie/index.html?inline=nyt-per>plans
to challenge the $271 million bill the federal government says New
Jersey owes after canceling a rail tunnel connecting his state with New
York.

Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak says the administration is completing
plans to retain a Washington, D.C., law firm that has expertise in federal
transit matters.

He says the firm will try to stop the Federal Transit Administration from
collecting money spent on engineering and construction for the Hudson River
tunnel.

Christie killed what was the nation's most expensive public works project
because of potential cost overruns.

The FTA sent New Jersey a bill on Nov. 24 payable within 30 days.
