I am sure all those people are thrilled to have places where people go to pee and poop named after them.

This is the most idiotic thing this Governor has ever introduced. Also Connie Chung is not a native to NJ and doesn't affiliate herself at all with the state. She owned a remote vacation get-away multi million dollar house for a few years with her husband Maury Povich (who's not represented on the list). I guess Governor was trying desperately to check an asian and woman box which is just silly, and not Maury Povich because Murphy is an anti-Semite.

If the Governor cared for the real people of the state, he would have named them after people from the state who changed the world, battles and our history, war hero's instead of some have everything wealthy pop stars.

Connie Chung is Jewish since 1984.

Judy Blume is also Jewish.

Awfully worked up about naming a bathroom after some TV anchor from the 90's.
