Fellow Grassrooter,

In recent days, I have spoken to a number of you and learned that you didn’t get to read the article that appeared in The Record on Thursday, Feb. 5, the day after our monthly meeting. Here’s a link that will bring you directly to it.

The article doesn’t go into much detail about the question-and-answer exchange between our members and Michael Kasparian, new chair of the Bergen County Democratic Organization, and we didn’t tape it, so perhaps we can charactrize the tempo and tone this way:

Former Hasbrouck Heights Councilwoman Carol Skiba, Hackensack activist Ruth Bauer Neustadter and Steering Committee member Allen Sklar, among others, spoke about the tight-fisted control that is exercised by allies of ex-BCDO Chair Joe Ferriero in their hometowns. All speakers emphasized the need for more transparency in state and county government, leading to more openness in the County’s 70 municipal governments as well.

Thanks for all you do,
Paul
