I am shocked - shocked! - to learn that another Ferriero apologist is on the county payroll. Promoted from the diaries -- Juan
I had to laugh when I read that Lynne Hurwitz, the Municipal Democratic Chair of Hackensack, felt intimidated by a bunch of rank and file Bergen County Committee Democrats who are tired of being ignored and their activist friends from Democracy for America and NJ for Democracy: Those opposed to the planned suit will be able to register their vote when the county committee meets. Or, said Hackensack Democratic Chairwoman Lynne Hurwitz, they could find time to schedule a private, diplomatic meeting with Ferriero.
"I've never known him not to want to sit down and discuss things," Hurwitz said. "The desire to bring it out on the street only tells me that they want a raucous confrontation and to embarrass the party." But lets dig deeper, shall we? Who exactly is Ms. Hurwitz and what job does she have at the county level? She is Bergen County Deputy Chief of Staff. So, she is basically Ferriero's Karl Rove in the Bergen County Government. And I wonder if she has family working for Bergen County as well...... Why, yes she does! Husband Howie is Executive Director of the Northwest Bergen County Utilities Authority - a group that handles collective bargaining contracts with the employees union.
Combined, Lynne and Howie make over six figures and are involved in who to hire in Bergen County and what to pay them. Now, if I was Chris Christie trying to figure out just exactly how all those Democratic County Committee Municipal Chairs wind up with County jobs, I might decide to ask Ms. Hurwitz a few questions. But I'm not, so I'll leave my little thought experiment here.
