The future mayor of Hoboken

With all the political corruption busts in New Jersey recently, I’m thinking of running for mayor of Hoboken. With the campaign now heating up, the timing is right for me to jump into the race. Since I already have nine felony convictions, from shoplifting to counterfeiting to possession of narcotics, I figure I’m way ahead of your more conventional candidates.

This Monday, Spectator Opinion takes a look at two mayoral races happening in our area.
