Governors Chris Christie of New Jersey and Andrew Cuomo of New York want the federal government to pay half of a $20 billion commuter-rail tunnel under the Hudson River.

The two chief executives sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Tuesday asking for the commitment “to break the logjam” over financing of the project. The states and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey would finance the other 50 percent, they said.
