New Nominations and Appointments

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

State House TrentonGovernor Chris Christie released a slew of new nominations and appointments today, Save Jerseyans, on a day when he’s undoubtedly in need of a stiff drink after battling union-aligned protesters in Middlesex County.
