Jib Jab Friday Fun- Timothy Occhipinti Independence Campaign Kickoff

with one comment

NJ.com political hack reporter Augie Torres had this to say about Timothy Occhipinti’s Hoboken 4th Ward kickoff last week at Northern Soul on June 17th and managed to mention who showed up. Augie Torres takes embedded journalism to a new level. I  find that the list of early attendees is revealing given Timothy’s early campaign assertions of independence….

Augie Torres:

“Among those attending the Occhipinti announcement were former council candidate Mike Novak, developer Frank Raia, former city Judge Kimberly Glatt, Ines Garcia-Keim, who lost the chairmanship to Bhalla, Jersey City Councilman Steven Fulop, and others. Occhipinti’s people say there were 50 to 60 people at the only bar in the 4th Ward at Monroe and First streets. Zimmer’s people say their spies said it was more like 30 to 40. And they probably only drank beer.”

Here is the link Augies’ Column:
