Freeholder may become new County Administrator

There is considerable speculation that Middlesex County Freeholder John Pulomena will resign his post in the near future to become the new County Administrator. The 48-year-old former South Plainfield Council President was re-elected to his fourth term as a Freeholder in 2006.

Pulomena's seat on the Board of Freeholders would be filled by the Middlesex County Democratic Committee at a Special Election Convention within 7 to 35 days of his resignation. There would be a Special Election in November 2008 to fill the remaining fourteen months of his term.

Piscataway Councilwoman is possible candidate for Fernicola seat

One possible candidate for the open Middlesex County Freeholder seat is Piscataway Councilwoman Millie Scott. If elected, she would become the first African American to serve on the Middlesex Board of Freeholders. Four-term Freeholder Camille Fernicola, who spent fifteen years as a Piscataway Councilwoman before winning countywide office, announced yesterday that she would not seek re-election. Some Middlesex insiders view this as the Piscataway seat, and say that Scott – an ally of State Senator Robert Smith – is a strong contender.
