NJ Lt. Gov. Guadagno lets slip that Hoboken mayor is right
by databob
"I deny any suggestions made by Mayor Zimmer that there was ever any condition placed on the release of Sandy funds by me," she said, adding that she was "surprised that Mayor Zimmer has chosen to mischaracterize the conversation I had with her about development and job creation in Hoboken."
So Guadagno ADMITS to discussing 'development and job creation in Hoboken' and doesn't deny that the conversation happened in the parking lot as claimed by Mayor Zimmer.
Guadagno says Mayor Zimmer 'mischaracterized' that conversation...... that's pretty weak tea.
Mayor Zimmer has detailed notes from her journal..... the Lt Gov has.... ummmm.... wait for it..... 'I'm a Sandy victim'.

(50,290 posts)Guadagno's denial has the opposite, the whole set up with her vest with the seal, the Mayors from other cities which suffered from Sandy, her 'I was a Sandy victim too' reeked of a pathetic attempt to divert attention from the allegations, imo.
Taking no questions from the media will not serve her well either.

(10,437 posts)the attacks on the Hoboken Mayor to undercut her credibility has begun...excepts the Lt Govenor seems to forget...she herself is a POS and is under criminal investigations from a couple of years ago herself
seems like the issue for credibility falls right back into christie's and his Lt Govenor.
"a criminal investigation is under way involving his running mate, New Jersey Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.
As a county sheriff in 2008, Guadagno made false statements to enable her chief officer to pocket nearly $85,000 a year in retirement pay while drawing an $87,500 annual salary. The double-dipping scheme first was reported by New Jersey Watchdog in 2010.
The state's investigation is assigned to the Attorney's General's Division of Criminal Justice, a unit where Guadagno once served as deputy director. Despite the apparent conflict, Christie has not appointed a special prosecutor.
A spokesman for Christie and Guadagno declined to comment. The Attorney General's Office did not respond to questions."
