" And how does Christie’s decision this year compare to 1998, when then-Governor Christine Todd Whitman declined to lower state flags to mark the death of Frank Sinatra, one of the state’s most famous sons? And no, I don’t think that it would have been appropriate to lower flags for Sinatra."
"...As the WCHS report notes, after researching previous executive orders, the flags were not lowered for Frank Sinatra. In fact, the first “celebrity” person (as opposed to military or elected leaders) for whom the flags were lowered was Clarence Clemons, and that was done by Christie also."
