NJ Bar Association grabs Christie by lapels over flag pin
TRENTON — It seemed like a brilliant marketing ploy when the Republican State Committee rolled it out in February: For a $25 monthly donation to the party, Gov. Chris Christie loyalists could buy the iconic lapel pin their favorite governor wears.

And while the group is flattered that Christie wears it, they’re not O.K. with his political party raising money with it.
