Freeholder may become new County Administrator

There is considerable speculation that Middlesex County Freeholder John Pulomena will resign his post in the near future to become the new County Administrator.  The 48-year-old former South Plainfield Council President was re-elected to his fourth term as a Freeholder in 2006.

Pulomena's seat on the Board of Freeholders would be filled by the Middlesex County Democratic Committee at a Special Election Convention within 7 to 35 days of his resignation.  There would be a Special Election in November 2008 to fill the remaining fourteen months of his term.

This would be the second open seat in Middlesex: four-term Freeholder Camille Fernicola announced on Monday that she would not seek re-election this year.  Fernicola's running mate, 77-year-old David Crabiel, announced this week that he would seek re-election.  Crabiel has been a Freeholder for 27 of the last 30 years.
