Christie not
expecting
Iowa victory
JOEL ASCHBRENNER THE DES MOINES REGISTER

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told the Des

Moines Register editorial board Friday that he doesnt
expect to win the Iowa caucuses, but he wants to beat
all the other governors in the first presidential contest.
Im not going to win the Iowa caucuses. How about

saving? Were interested in your vision before the
wrecking ball intervenes.
The monument was erected on the beach in Highlands as a tribute to the will of the survivors of superstorm Sandy, but now it finds its concrete-self embroiled in a multi-pronged controversy.
Already reviled by some for its sharp-edged, gray
exterior and the way it partially blocks the beach
view, the structure also may offend the law, Highlands Borough Council learned in November.
The town was given a choice to either prove the
structure unofficially known as Shorehenge is
in compliance with the law, which would cost thousands of dollars, or demolish it. The council is inclined
to wave bye-bye.
