Conservative Principles Now

Gov.-elect Christopher Christie says he's not ready to immediately battle the Democratic Legislature during their lame duck session, but he is prepared to speak out if they take action that he disagrees with. "Am I willing to fight? Of course I am. You've watched me for eight years now. I'm not a Wallflower," Christie said at a press conference at the Robert Treat Academy, a Newark charter school run by Stephen Adubato, Sr. Christie said he'll look at the Legislature with "an optimistic point of view." "I think the members of the Legislature understand that people have voted for change," Christie said.  The voters voted for it.  So for now, we'll have to engage in the compromise that will occur always when people have differing views."
