Critics say such honors should be reserved for the military, first responders, and public officials.
One tweeted -- quote -- "Shame on you for ordering our flag to be flown half-(staff) for a singer who od'd!"
Others supported the decision -- quote -- "She brought global attention to New Jersey so it's an absolutely appropriate thing to do."
MY THOUGHTS: Flags at half mass should be used for our brave military, public officials and the few who have done incredible things for the community. Whitney Houston was a crack head. Period. Yeah sure she sold millions of records, and so did Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and a long list just like them. It is also amazing how the media is changing her image, just like they did for that drug riddled Michael Jackson. Expect huge record sales again for this lady who chose intensive drug use. What the hell did she do for the world? On a side note, when she was red hot in the music business, before crack cocaine burned out her vocal cords, she appeared in Portland. After 20 minutes of her stumbling around on stage and babbling about who knows what, we walked out.
