Not an Adult in the Whole Group

by: Hudson Observer

Tue Jul 10, 2007 at 09:12:54 AM EDT



The Hudson Reporter says that things are not going so smoothly in West New York:
The Vega camp claims Sires wanted to retain control over some aspects of municipal government. Sires people claim this was not the case and that Vega not only began removing Sires appointees from the city the moment Sires left, but actually put anti-Sires people into key city positions.

First of all, let me just point out that if "Sires people" cut ties with Vega because Vega fired people Sires hired, then they are basically confirming what Vega is saying.  Honestly, West New York is such a tiny little sliver of this Congressional district that if Sires is worried who is keeping their plum jobs here, Joe Vas might actually have a chance at upending him.

In other words, Albio needs to grow beyond West New York fast.  Vega, who appears intent on cutting his own throat, should be his last worry.  He's shown that, if given the opportunity, he'll make the absolutely worst political decision possible.  Get the hell out of his way!

Sires, of course, backed Brian Stack against Vega - so that accounts for a lot of the bad blood.  But backing the winning horse here might be the kiss of death as the investigation into 'Santa Claus' Stack continues, now we find out this little tidbit:
Stack, of course, has problems of his own as former employees claim they were released on political grounds. Union City settled one case last week and may face eight or more additional claims.

This only feeds the perception Vega's campaign created in painting Stack as just another political insider.

Looks to me like both Stack and Vega should pay attention to the Attorney General flap and think about what that amount of attention would do to their electoral prospects.  Eh, this is Hudson County.  Never mind.

And, just to let everyone enjoy one of the greatest typos ever:

Freeholder Bill O'Dea also made an appearance, although there was a bit of child between him and Manzo.

Are they saying that someone had a bloody stump of a leg or are they saying something about Brian Stack...
