-- “Longer School Day.  Longer School Year”

ORADELL – Following on the footsteps of Barack Obama's call for a longer school day and a longer school year, Chris Christie this morning proposed the same thing for New Jersey.

"Chris has already promised NOT to cut taxes in his first year in office and now we see why.  His plan to expand school days and the school year will increase education expenses by anywhere from 10 to 25 percent," Lonegan explained.  "That’s billions of dollars."

SUPPORTS DOHERTY "INFORMED CONSENT LEGISLATION"

Republican candidate for Governor Steve Lonegan today asked opponent Chris Christie to comment on a vote taken by Christie's state chairman, Senator Joseph Kyrillos, and three state co-chairmen (Senator Tom Kean, Assemblyman Jon Bramnick, and Assemblyman Peter Biondi) that would prohibit a legislative employee from preventing an adult male from using the same restroom facilities as female school children the state house frequently hosts.

“Chris Christie’s ‘conservative’ credentials are being vouched for by some pretty liberal Republicans,” Christie’s main opponent for the nomination charged today.
