Journal: Florida authorities looking into Lopez

Former council candidate Jimmy King’s complaint against Nidia Lopez has grown some legs in Jersey City and Orlando.

The Jersey Journal reports today that Florida officials are investigating Lopez for claiming a tax break on her Orlando home that required her to be a permanent resident, and that they’re seeking repayment of the money she saved from it.

PolitickerNJ.com first reported on Tuesday that the recently defeated King filed a complaint against Lopez attempting to invalidate her election.  

Lopez was sworn in yesterday.  At the inauguration ceremony, she said that she did not want to talk about the charges because it was a “day for celebration,” but referred inquiries about it to her attorney, William Northgrave.  

Lopez’s husband, Hudson County Director of Family Services Ben Lopez – a former councilman – told The Jersey Journal’s Augie Torres yesterday that the Orlando property was a summer home.  

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy brushed off the complaint yesterday as part of a pattern from the slate of former mayoral candidate Lou Manzo, who had tried to knock him off the ballot with legal challenges over his conduct during his 2006 arrest for disorderly conduct in Bradley Beach.

You really got to ask, the election is over, Why didn't King bring out this allegation then when it may have had a bigger impact?

King lost... very badly... AGAIN for a second time for the same office, so why does he go through all this other than for spite?

Jimmy the people of your ward don't want you, they have spoken twice, accept it and move on and stop with this childish "if I can't have it, nobody can" 

What's the difference when

What's the difference when it is brought up.If she does not live here
than she can't serve.No one says that King will automataclly win in a new election but the people of the Ward deserve someone who did not Cheat to get elected.A lot of underhanded tactics took place in ward C on election day.

Nothing beneath the surface of this one

This really seems like a story about an oversight on the part of Councilwoman Lopez or her accountant; these things happen all the time, even to hard-working public officials. Thanks to the challenge of Mr. King, it will be corrected and she can continue doing the work of the people.
