Bergen County Democratic Vice Chair Kay Nest, who’s filling in while indicted Chairman Joe Ferriero takes a leave of absence, said tonight that the party will not make any decision on its permanent leadership until after the November 4th election.
That decision was the product of a discordant meeting of the Bergen County Executive Committee members that took place this morning.
“The Executive Committee of the Bergen County Democratic Organization met today regarding the future of the party. Though there were clearly differing opinions on a variety of topics, all in attendance agreed to move forward as one united party. A unanimous vote was taken, and all in attendance agreed to postpone any discussion regarding the change in leadership and focus on electing Democrats in the upcoming November election. I am humbled by the confidence the Executive Committee has shown in me, and I will not let them down,” said Nest in a prepared statement. “I have no doubt, that a united Democratic Party will be successful in November, from the bottom to the top of the ticket.”

Ferrierocrats prevailed with call for more corruption!
“I have no doubt, that a united Democratic Party will be successful in November, from the bottom to the top of the ticket” stated BCDO vice Chair Nest. This is a blunt endorsement of corruption in the Democratic Party and its candidates nominated by indicted Chairman Ferriero. Ferrierocrats have prevailed over Rep. Rothman, State Sen. Weinberg, Chairman Cryan, and Gov. Corzine. Other “reformers” were not even invited. Shameless Rothman and Weinberg called for party unity in order to elect their candidates. That’s when public interest takes a back seat to the Party interests. That’s sounds familiar. Is this the Soviet Union 101 anyone?
Feathering her own NEST
This Ft Lee crookette is the ultimate gangster. Where was she on the Centuria scandal ? where was she when Loretta Weinberg was talking about corruption and pay to play>/ She was too busy abusing Ft Lee Seniors and lying about local GOP candidates. Shame on her.
THE TWO REPUBS ABOVE
YOU REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET A GRIP ON YOURSELVES. FIRST OF ALL THE COUNYWIDE CANDIDATES WERE NOMINATED BY A PRIMARY ELECTION NOT THE CHAIRMAN FERRIERO.
SECOND PERSONAL ATTACKS ON KAY NEST HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE REPUBLICANS IN FT LEE ANYWHERE. AND THIRD YOU GUYS OVERSTIMATE YHOUR IMPORTANCE.
