Raising The Roof Radio - And so it begins - The names keep on coming

This is a mess in the making, with the currant Mayor under indictment for corruption and a federal investigation still looming over his head, Joey Torres is still banking on his followers to get him re-elected in 2018. The list of potential candidates is quite extensive now and will grow in the coming weeks/months. The Mayors competition comes from people such as Council President William Bill McKoy, 6th Ward Councilman Andre Sayegh, Council at Large Alex Mendez, former Deputy Mayor Pedro Rodriguez, Ilsa Rodriguez, 1st Ward Councilman Mike Jackson, Chauncey I. Brown, former Director of Public Saftey Glen Brown. I don't think it will stop there either, the $119.000 a year salary as well as the incentives and perks that come with that office will entice a lot of people.

At this early stage in the game there will be a lot of back stabbing, and finger pointing trying to shuffle to the top/front runner spot and as always things will get down right dirty but that is Paterson politics.. There has already been some shots fired and there will be many many more but for now it is just conversation...
