Lipski won't get a slot on Healy ticket; Kenny to replace Spinello in Ward B

Jersey City Councilman Steve Lipski, who faces charges of urinating on a crowd of people during a concert in Washington, D.C. in November, will not get a slot of Mayor Jerramiah Healy's ticket in the May municipal election.  Sources say that businesswoman Nydia Rivera, the wife of former Jersey City Councilman Ben Lopez, will run on the Healy slate and challenge Lipski for the Ward C Council seat.  Ward C has one of the largest Hispanic populations in Jersey City.

Sources also say that Ward B Councilwoman Mary Spinello will be replaced by Phil Kenny, who runs a powerful political operation on the city's west side.  Kenny is an ally of Freeholder Bill O'Dea and former Jersey City Councilman Tom Frichone.
