Corzine thinks Ferriero should resign
By Politicker StaffGov. Jon Corzine thinks that Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph Ferriero should step down from his party post and his job as Counsel to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission after his indictment this week on federal corruption charges, according to his spokesman.
"Governor Corzine has been consistent and clear in how he feels about political figures under indictment. They should step aside," Sean Darcy, Corzine's press secretary, told PolitickerNJ.com. Last year, Corzine sought the resignation of two Democratic Assemblymen who had been arrested on corruption charges.
Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan sought Ferriero's resignation today, along with State Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck). U.S. Rep. Steven Rothman (D-Fair Lawn) said on Tuesday that Ferriero should vacate his post.
Weinberg, Assemblyman Gordon Johnson (D-Englewood), and Assemblywoman Valerie Huttle (D-Englewood) today asked District 37 Democratic Chairman Ralph Rivera to call a meeting of County Committee members so that they cna "have a voice in the process going forward."
"We hope you will call this meeting as soon as possible to address their concerns. Please be assured that if you choose not to call this meeting, we will call this meeting ourselves," the three legislators wrote Rivera.

Leadership in action!
Am I missing something here? Chairman Ferriero was reelected to his post a few months ago without a serious challenge, even from so called reformers like Sen. Weinberg, Assembly members Johnson and Huttle. What was even worse is that a few weeks ago Gov. Corzine himself welcomed Ferriero to participate in the Democratic convention in Denver. He even defended him while the FBI raided Ferriero’s offices. I have yet to hear a peep Sen. Lautenberg and Menendez. Should I go on down the list of elected Democrats in Bergen County? Let’s not fool ourselves.
Dems Running for Cover
Sooner or later there's no place to hide.
Jon Corzine
at the end of the day will be a far larger weight around the neck of every Democrat in 2009 than Joe Ferriero could ever be!
Corzine can spend $100M next year and he will lose. He's the worst governor of my lifetime and that includes McGreevey, Cahill and Florio.
Look for Lautenberg to lose his seat come November as McCain wins NJ setting up a Republican to capture the statehouse and probably the state senate.
Vote Column "A" - All the way!
Lier lier ,pants on fire
Once again Corzine is talking out of both sides of his mouth when Wayne Bryant and sharp were Indicted Corzine kept his trap shut because he needed them to slip his school funding bills through the lame duck secession ...
weinber
Who cares if Weinberg calls a meeting. As June's convention showed she does not have the votes in the county committee.
Corzine Is An Angel...
.....compared to the partisan hack Christie.
Unless Republicans run a progressive reformer, they will lose in 09.
The McCain con job won't hold up through November 4th. Whatever gains he's made are because he's using dirty ugly evil lies and playing on peoples fears and prejudices.
America is not Germany in the Nazi era. We will not fall for the lies of McCAin and of his hypocritical corrupt VP nominee.
Whatever integrity and decency John McCain ever had he's now lost as he has made a Faustian bargain to "win".
Let's hope Ferierro, does the right thing and resigns on his own asap; if he doesn't the BCDO should find a way to fire him.
It's not a matter of Republicans vs Democrats...it's a matter, at this point, of reform vs corruption.
John McCain has adopted the verbiage of reform; but he is clearly and obviously corrupt. The same is true for the liar Palin...another con artist in our midst.

justice
So much for the principles of justice on which our legal system is founded. The man is innocent until proven guilty. Our elected representatives should not contravene that principle by passing judgement in advance.
interesting standard
Apparently, if you get indicted (and still have the presumption of innocence) you should resign. But if you admit wrongdoing on the stand you get commended.
Justice and a Ham Sandwich
Bergen Law, yes the jury is still out on Ferriero. He may be no ham sandwich, however his Chosen Freeholders are tainted boloney Sandwiches. As for Nick Cool aid Drinker Lento. Corzine is as crooked as Karla Katz and her brother not to mention all his fellow crooks at Goldman Sachs. Vote Col 2 all the way

Lockstep P.R.
It doesn't take a Rocket Surgeon to see an official Democratic Party initiative to quickly reframe this revealing opening into their systemic corruption as instead a phenomenon entirely bound up in persona of Joe Ferriero.
"That big bad Joe Ferriero was behind it all! The faster he's out of here the sooner we can return to our regularly scheduled efficient and honest government!"
Meanwhile, though the King of Bergen might be in exile, his Dukes continue to rape the peasants. No pun intended.
corzine
No one in the BCDO gives a rat's ass what Coraine thinks. Except maybe the hypocrite ffom Teaneck. The BCDO should be looking for someone to take Corzine on in the Primary of 2009.
