Johnson continues attempt at damage control

Assemblyman Gordon Johnson has taken some lumps lately -- enough to make it appear that, out of the three ethics crusading 37th district legislators, he’s the most vulnerable.

Ever since he joined his running mates, state Sen. Loretta Weinberg and Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle, to introduce a reform package that reignited the civil war between Chairman Joe Ferriero’s Bergen County Democratic Organization and the Real Bergen Democrats, Johnson has found himself in the crosshairs – both from Ferriero and his 37th district Republican opponents.

Almost immediately after the Real Bergen Democrats introduced their reform package earlier this month, Ferriero criticized Johnson as hypocritical for seeking to ban dual office-holding while concurrently serving as an Assemblyman and Englewood Councilman.

Johnson says he didn't know LaRouche was anti-Semitic

Under  huge pressure from key Democrats in Bergen County – including his own running mates – Assemblyman Gordon Johnson has apologized for making an $1,850 personal contributio to Lyndon LaRouche’s political action committee.  LaRouche has been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League as anti-Semitic, and national Democrats.  "Had I been aware of the LaRouche record of anti-Semitism I obviously would not have made my contributions," Johnson said in a statement today that hardly disputes his image as one of the Legislature's less intelligent members.
