Video: Christie Dedicates Camden's Cooper-Anderson Center


October 7, 2013 - Governor Christie MD Anderson Cooper Ribbon Cutting. (Transcript Below)

Governor Christie: This partnership is an innovative one, and one that I know the people of this region and this state will benefit from. But more than that, it also provides a great sense of hope to the city which we're standing in. We all know the problems and difficulties that have confronted Camden and I think in the last number of years, through the work of lots of people, we're once again feeling a sense of hope about Camden's future and it's because there are a group of hardheaded realist doing the leadership now. We know that the challenges are nowhere near met yet, but what we see is the type of collaboration that's necessary to defeat big challenges and that collaboration is one that goes across Party lines, goes apart regional differences and bridges the gap with socioeconomic challenge. That all of those things can be defeated if in fact we make the decision that meeting that challenge is more important than any of our own individual aspirations.
