I was there. They had no preparations for even paper ballots even though they knew the vice chair's race was contested. They held the initial vote as a voice vote. When the acting chair claimed Sheehan was reelected, many insisted on a paper ballot. Even when Marlene Casey appeared to win the voice vote for vice chair, we also supported a paper ballot. A ballot was the only fair way to record the vote.

Also, many municipal clerks failed to get their county committee certifications out on time, so many of us were there without it. The acting chair announced that we had to show our certifications and without it would not be able to vote. This had NOT been announced prior to the meeting.

What chaos! If you want a few more details, ask me in FReepmail.

At least when old Web Todd (Christy Whitman's dad) was running Bergen County, they made the trains run on time. Now they are using tactics that wouldn't pass muster at a YR meeting. How the mighty have fallen.

This sounds more like any given Democrat reorganization meeting than a Republican one. The DRUDGEREPORT mentioned a knife fight at the Democrat meeting in Atlantic City.

I was at the Monmouth County reorganization dinner last night. Things couldn't have been nicer or happier. We were completely done with business before everyone could be served dinner. The applause took as much time as anything. Life's tough on the rubber salmon circuit.

What is Marshall Law?

What do the bylaws say? I thought most counties reorganize in January.

How is Steve's campaign coming along? I haven't heard much.

Lonegan drops out of race for Bergen GOP Chairman... Bogota Mayor Steven Lonegan, whose unexpected candidacy for Bergen County Republican Chairman against incumbent James Sheehan put the local GOP organization in turmoil Tuesday evening, has dropped his bid for County Chairman. Insiders say that Lonegan's best shot was a sneak attack, and Sheehan's decision to postpone the vote until next week gives his forces ample time to turn out their votes. (06/13/02)
