PATERSON - Passaic County Sheriff Jerry Speziale jumped into Paterson municipal politics over the weekend, publicly endorsing Ward 2 Councilman Aslon Goow, chair of the council's public safety committee and a vocal critic of Mayor Jose "Joey" Torres.
Speziale's picture and declaration of confidence appeared on a Goow mail piece that hits the streets in Ward 2.
"Goow is the only (council) candidate the sheriff is endorsing," said Goow campaign spokesman Ryan Yacco.
Yacco says the endorsement is significant, particulalry in the Hillcrest section of the ward.
A two-term concilman, Goow is running against John Larko and Elizabeth Rosado.
Rosado has the public support of Mayor Torres.

Who is John Larko? I have never heard of him?
Hello this is John Larko, I
Hello this is John Larko, I am not endorsed by a sheriff with 2 personal drivers that each earn $100,000. I am an average person with support from average people. I just saw what was going on in my city and decided to run for office and change things. My website is www.JohnLarko.com please check it out and if you live in Paterson please vote for me. Also I am not sure how much help Sheriff Speziale's endorsement will do. Over the past months going door to door when I talk about the wasteful spending in Paterson, many people also said Sheriff Speziale is another one that wastes money.
