Does Lautenberg live in New Jersey or New York? His aide gives mixed signals

Where does Frank Lautenberg live? If you ask the four-term Senator, he’ll say in his Cliffside Park condo. But others – not just his rivals – say that when he’s not in Washington, he spends most of his nights at his wife’s New York City apartment. On May 12, Lautenberg’s office dismissed a Politics1.com report that the concierge at Lautenberg’s apartment said the Senator’s office sends a staffer to pick up his mail each week. “He picks up his mail himself at the mailroom at his apartment building,” said Dan Katz, Lautenberg’s Chief of Staff, told PolitickerNJ.com. “When? When he gets there back from Washington at the end of the work week when we are in session or when he is already there when Senate is in recess.”
