Trenton, NJ - Today Governor Chris Christie issued the following statement in response to the World Trade Center counterproposal produced by the Port Authority:
“We simply cannot delay any longer on the World Trade Center site which is why I have worked with the Port Authority to put together a thoughtful and substantive counterproposal. Now is the time for all interested parties to quickly and responsibly finalize an agreement that both protects the memories of those we lost and the overstretched taxpayers of New York and New Jersey. This is a good first step we must all quickly build upon so we can come to a timely and meaningful conclusion.”

“President Obama’s education initiative, Race to the Top, embodies many ideas that Governor Christie and I agree with and will advocate for in the next four years. While we are extremely disappointed that New Jersey was not included as a finalist in this first round of funding, we are not surprised.
“From the start of this process it has been clear that while the Corzine administration submitted a good application, a major deficiency in New Jersey’s submission was the lack of support from local union leadership. With union leaders in more than 350 participating districts refusing to sign on, it would have been very difficult to convince the U.S. Department of Education that New Jersey was united behind this effort.
“In these extremely difficult fiscal times, the entire education community in our state must come together to fight for New Jersey and put the best interest of our children first. As we begin to work on the second round due in June, I am encouraged that the NJEA leadership has agreed to work on this with us. With their support of what the President is seeking from New Jersey, I’m convinced we will be able to put forward a winning application.”

Gilda’s Mission –
The Mission of Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey is to create welcoming communities of free support for everyone living with cancer – men, women, teens and children – along with their families and friends.
Our innovative program is an essential complement to medical care, providing networking and support groups, workshops, education and social activities.
The Vision –
Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey is a premier provider of social and emotional support for anyone touched by cancer. The Worldwide affiliation of Gilda’s Club is an international leader in advancing understanding of the essential nature of social and emotional support in the lives of people with cancer, as well as for the families and friends who surround them. To find out more about Gilda’s Club Worldwide or other affiliates throughout North America, go to www.gildasclub.org.
Our History –
Gilda’s Club is named in honor of Gilda Radner, who, when describing the emotional and social support she received when she had cancer, called for such places to be made available for people with cancer and their families and friends everywhere. Although the Saturday Night Live comedian died in 1989, Gilda’s spirit lives on at every Gilda’s Club, where members join with other “experts” at living with cancer to both give and receive the benefits of love and laughter through the unique Gilda’s Club program.
The first Gilda’s Club, including a worldwide training center, opened its signature red door in New York City in 1995. Since that time, additional clubhouses have opened in North America and Canada. Thousands of members now attest to the fact that Gilda’s Club has helped change their lives by restoring control and enabling them to plan their own emotional and social support, thus strengthening and enriching the entire family.
