Asbury Park Mayor Myra Campbell Throws Council Members Under The Bus

IMG_0785Asbury Park Mayor Myra Campbell went out of way to embarrass her colleagues on the city’s governing body last evening during the National Night Out celebration.

While introducing Congressman Frank Pallone as a candidate for “State Senator” (Pallone is running for the Democratic nomination to succeed the late United States Senator Frank Lautenberg), Campbell went off script with a spiel about the importance of citizens knowing their governmental representatives.

“I represent you as mayor of Asbury Park and I want you to know your other representatives,” Campbell announced to the crowd of a few hundred, “If you are a member of the council, please step forward.

“Susan Henderson, Deputy Superintendent, uh, Deputy Mayor Susan Henderson.  I know John Loffredo is on vacation. Councilman John Moor, are you here.  Amy Quinn?

“I guess they’re not here.  They are your representatives.”

The council members were not scheduled to join the other dignitaries on stage for the kickoff of the event.

Councilwoman Amy Quinn was seen arriving to the celebration about 10 minutes after the formal remarks concluded.

Quinn told MMM that “unequivocally” Moor and Henderson attended after the formal remarks to kickoff the event.

    AP is looking to hire a new City Administrator — maybe that’s the job that TommyD should apply for and/or that is the job that taxpayers across the state should demand be given to TommyD.

    Thanks for getting dressed up for the occasion, Myra. Can we have Ed Johnson back now?

    This is what you get when you have a mostly illiterate electorate voting solely on a person’s race, rather than qualifications. See how well that worked out for Detroit? Asbury Park is doomed.
