This is NOT going over well with many locals calling in on the radio. Many say this honor should not be done for a drug addict.

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie plans to sign an executive order requesting flags on public buildings in New Jersey to fly at half-staff on the day of Jersey native Whitney Houston's funeral.
"Whitney Houston was an important part of the cultural fabric of this state," Christie said during a press briefing today. "She was a cultural icon in this state and her accomplishments in her life were a source of great pride for many people in this state and for this state as a whole. On that basis, I think she's entitled to have that recognition made for her."
Christie said he will sign the order later this week, when the pop star's family makes a final decision on when the funeral will be.
