IN CASE YOU MISSED IT ...

HE CAN'T DO BOTH JOBS

The Star-Ledger, Editorial, October 18, 2006

It's time for Education Commissioner Lucille Davy to give Assemblyman Charles Epps Jr. an ultimat: He can either be superintendent of schools in the state-run Jersey City school district or be a member of the Legislature, but not both.

McHOSE: EPPS' UNETHICAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION IS JUST ANOTHER REASON TO BAN DUAL OFFICE HOLDING

Epps joins endanged list (if he wasn't already there)

Hudson County Democrats are becoming increasingly hesitant to support the re-election of Assemblyman Charles Epps next year -- especially after a Jersey Journal report that Epps, the Jersey City Superintendent of Schools, has put four of his school district employees on the legislative payroll -- "further blurring the lines between his two public roles." Epps took some heat last Spring after reports of lavish spending on a taxpayer-paid trip to London, including a $500-per-night hotel room.

Three other Hudson legislators are in danger of losing party support for re-election in 2007: Senate Majority Leader Bernard Kenny, who is also the Hudson County Democratic Chairman; State Senator Joseph Doria, who just narrowly survived a re-election battle for Mayor of Bayonne last June; and Assemblywoman Joan Quigley.

Chiappone's comeback

Former Assemblyman Anthony Chiappone was the top vote-getter in his bid for re-election to the Bayonne City Council, avoiding a runoff. Chiappone had won a State Assembly seat in 2003, ousting eleven-term Assemblyman (and former Speaker) Joseph Doria, the Mayor of Bayonne, in the Democratic primary on an anti-organization ticket headed by Jersey City Mayor Glenn Cunningham. When Cunningham died the following year, Chiappone ran as an Independent in a Special Election for State Senate and lost to Doria. The Hudson County Democratic Organization refused to back him for a second term in 2005 and he lost the primary to Charles Epps.
