Hearings to start for Christie's Cabinet picks

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - February 8, 2010

Christie's picks for attorney general and military and veterans' affairs are scheduled to be interviewed by the committee on Monday afternoon.

Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow is Christie's pick for AG.

Maj. Gen. Glenn Rieth has been asked to stay on as adjutant general and head of the National Guard. He is one of four holdovers from Gov. Jon Corzine's Cabinet.

Sen. Nick Scutari, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, says the Republican governor's nominees will be thoroughly vetted but he anticipates all will be confirmed by the Democratic-controlled Senate.
