Atlantic
County Democratic Chairman Jim Carroll blew into Atlantic County from Essex
County just a few years ago ...
When the
Democrats took control of Galloway Township Council ... We do know this
much ... Jim Carroll became the highest paid Solicitor in the history of
Galloway Township. How did this happen? Fred Scerni and many life-long area
Democrat attorney's ... Norman Zlotnick, Joe Gindhart and others
were all available ...
Yet, somehow
Carroll obtained the Council Solictorship ...
Republicans
won back the majority in Galloway Township and they immediately replaced Carroll
and his high price tag with Mike Blee ... The first year savings were
substantial ... As we reported previously in a HarryHurley.com legal cost
analysis.
A new
political majority swept into power in Egg Harbor City recently ... You
guessed it ... Jim Carroll is now the Solicitor
there?
A well placed
source recently confirmed to HarryHurley.com that Carroll actually tried to
"push" former Democratic Chairman Chuck Chiarello out of office before his term
ended ... Carroll suggested that Chiarello should step asside early ... For
the record, Chiarello went on to finish his term, and, it was Chiarello and not
Carroll who managed Joe Kelly's successful campaign for an Atlantic County
Freeholder position.
We can't help
but wonder ... why has Jim Carroll made his various and questionable
political decisions since he became Chairman?
For example
... why has Carroll snubbed - not once - but twice, A life-long true Democrat
... Mayor Lornzo Langford of Atlantic City?
Why did
Carroll formally endorse a 50-year Republican, Bob Levy for Mayor, before Levy
was even a candidate?
Why did
Carroll endorse, support and formally nominate a registered Republican, Scott
McKnight for Freeholder?
Why did
Carroll nominate so many other life-long Republicans ... i.e., Jim Carney, Alisa
Cooper and Ed McGee?
The Essex
County Political winds blew Carroll into Atlantic County ... and, the results
thus far appear to be that life-long Democrats need not apply for any
openings in Atlantic County ...
