Sarlo not among contributors to Schaer/Scalera re-election
By Wally EdgeNoteworthy in the race for State Assembly in District 36, State Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-Wood-Ridge) has not contributed to the re-election campaign of his two running mates, Assemblymen Gary Schaer (D-Passaic) and Frederick Scalera (D-Nutley). The incumbents, who had a poll this summer showing Republicans ahead in this potentially competitive district, have spent over $425,000 on their campaign. The GOP challengers, Donald Diorio and Carmen Pio Costa, have spent less than $7,500.
While Sarlo has apparently taken a walk on Schaer and Scalera, other Democrats have come through. They have received $16,400 each from Speaker Joseph Roberts (D-Camden), Majority Leader Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing), Budget Committee Chairman Louis Greenwald (D-Voorhees), and from Gloucester County Freeholder Stephen Sweeney's campaign fund. Gov. Jon Corzine gave them a personal check for $5,200, and State Sen. Nia Gill (D-Montclair) gave Schaer $500. The Democratic State Committee has spent $67,976 in the 36th, while the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee has spent $43,381.

Sarlo.
He's spending his time sucking up to the South Jersey crew now that he abandoned Ferriero. He's praying he'll be saved in re-apportionment, but he'll realize just how many enemies he has come 2011. Vote Column "A" - All the way!
