We will have a new Attorney General when the new Governor takes office in January as Chris Christie announced yesterday that Anne Milgram does not want to stay on in the position:"She says she doesn't want to stay," Christie told reporters after speaking to high school students in Hamilton. "Someone who says they don't want to stay, I don't want to consider." It wasn't really expected she would stay in the position, so this isn't a very surprising change. Milgram became Attorney General after Stuart Rabner became a NJ Supreme Court Justice. And on who her replacement would be as the next Attorney General, New Jersey Newsroom has sources saying it's a familiar name:High-ranking Republicans familiar with steps Governor-elect Chris Christie is taking to shape his administration said Monday that U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Ralph Marra is in line to become state attorney general after the Republican takes office on Jan. 19. Christie has stated that he is looking for a "tough" prosecutor who can work well with the U.S. Attorney's office and make fighting corruption a priority. Marra took over the office as acting US attorney when Christie resigned to run for Governor, so he definitely has a knowledge of how they would work. He also ran into some difficulties upon taking over as Acting US Attorney, seeing an investigation open internally for comments he made during the corruption busts that occurred in July and how they may have helped Christie's campaign for Governor. |
