A New Jersey legislative committee advanced a resolution on Monday calling for the rejection of a deal Gov. Chris Christie's administration announced last week to settle a decade-old lawsuit against Exxon Mobil for $225 million, a fraction of what the state previously sought for environmental damage from the oil company. The resolution that the state Senate's environmental committee sent to the full Senate was the first formal action that lawmakers have taken about the settlement.
