Bergen Board of Freeholders

“Mr. Doria ran Bayonne into the ground, now he has his sights set on destroying Bergen County and making it look like Bayonne.”  

Many people have questioned the altruistic motives of a man who would spend $30 million of his private fortune to win the state’s top office, as Governor Corzine did.

HACKENSACK - Today Bergen County Sheriff Leo McGuire and Freeholders James Carroll, Tomas Padilla and Elizabeth Calabrese accepted the endorsement of the Bergen County Education Association. In letters addressed to the candidates, the BCEA announced that its membership voted to back each Democratic candidate at the organization’s September meeting.

Bergen County Should Open Portal for Residents To View Budget and Spending Plans. We see a lot of pictures with big checks of taxpayer dollars they hand out but no hard numbers.

Two potential candidates for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in 2006, Congressmen Rob Andrews and Frank Pallone, Jr., made the trek North to Bergen County on Wednesday evening to attend the reorganization meeting of the Freeholder Board. Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph Ferriero, who is expected to endorse Senator-designate Robert Menendez, sat near the two Congressmen in a VIP section directly in front of the Freeholders. Democrats have a 6-1 majority on the Bergen Board of Freeholders.
