Then, he opened the floor to questions, and was asked if he would heed the calls from some newspapers for his resignation.
"No of course not, I am not shocked that the Star-Ledger editorial page or the Gannett editorial page, none of which have ever supported me, my policies, or my existence, would call on me now to resign. They're trying to find some way to be relevant, as their circulations decline, as their readership declines."
