PATERSON - Since North Ward Democratic leader Steve Adubato brought New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to the Flamboyan on the weekend after the Democratic National Convention, major Latino leaders have to this point hardly shown overwhelming enthusiasm in their endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Il.).

Hillary Clinton beat Obama in the Democratic Primary by almost ten percent or roughly the equivalent of the Latino vote, which is heavily Democratic in New Jersey and which was energized for Feb. 5th by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-Hoboken), Adubato and U.S. Rep. Albio Sires (D-West New York).

Now heading for the general election in three weeks and mindful - but not fearful - of that primary falloff in Latino numbers for Obama, party leaders held a Spanish and Spanglish-heavy rally here today, in a city that's over 50 percent Latino, in a county where Latinos number 44,849, or well over a fifth of all registered voters in Passaic.

ASSEMBLY DEMOCRATS REACT TO ECONOMIC WORRIES VOICED AT MONDAY LABOR COMMITTEE HEARING

(TRENTON) - Assembly Democrats today issued the following multimedia package as the Assembly Labor Committee took testimony on the effects of the financial crisis on New Jersey's economy and its citizens.

There’s a movement afoot in Passaic County to change their form of government and elect a County Executive. It’s being pushed by Freeholder James Gallagher, after Clifton Councilman Frank Fusco initiated a movement by sponsoring a council resolution advocating it.  Wayne, Totowa and Hawthorne have since added their support.  Insiders don’t expect it to go anywhere. But if it did happen, who would be on the short list to become the first County Executive?

The leading candidate to replace Assemblywoman Elease Evans on the Passaic County Board of Freeholders is Greyson Hannigan, a former Assistant Passaic County Counsel (Bill Pascrell III is the County Counsel).  Hannigan is an attorney who represented former Assemblyman Alfred Steele in his criminal case last year. 

District 35 Assemblywoman Elease Evans explains her endorsement of Obama.
