Between the lines No deal; no way! Al Sullivan, Jersey City Reporter, May 26, 2002 Putting to rest a rumor that lit up telephone lines throughout the county last week, Rep. Robert Menendez (D-13th Dist.) said he had not met with nor made an agreements with Jersey City Mayor Glenn Cunningham to end the political civil war currently plaguing the Hudson County Democrats. "I made no deals, I did not meet with Mayor Cunningham, and I am supporting Tom DeGise for county executive and every freeholder candidate running in his ticket as well as the congressmen and senator on the line," Menendez said. "Bob Menendez will show no mercy," one source said. "After Rudy Garcia, Bob won't tolerate betrayal." No one representing anyone in Row A in the Democratic Primary, according to this source, is authorized to negotiate with the Cunningham camp. "The only deal I've made is with the voters for providing them with clean, honest government with no back room dealings," Menendez said, predicting that the DeGise team would have a big victory in June 4 primary. Cunningham is supporting Bernard Hartnett for county executive and the slate of freeholder candidates running on Hartnett's line. If Garcia is any example, Cunningham may face a political fate that made Rome's sacking of Carthage look tame. In a list of talked about possible replacements for Cunningham, Jersey City Councilman Mariano Vega hinted strongly that his name should not be left out. For the complete article, see the Link. |
