As singer Whitney Houston was laid to rest last weekend,
municipalities across New Jersey lowered their flags to half-
staff, a salute to a native daughter who, as Gov. Chris Christie
put it, made significant cultural contributions to her home
state.

“For those people who say, 'I don't think she deserves it,' I
say to them, ‘I understand that you don't think that. I do, and
it's my executive order,’” Christie, a Republican, said last
week.

At least one town, however, ignored the governor’s executive
order.

It ought to be up to the locals.

It's not. It's state law.
