What Has Nelson Albano Done?
Nelson Albano is one of the state assemblymen from the First District. He was elected to the legislature in 2006. I documented two years ago how Jeff Van Drew selected him as a running mate.
And what would that inside stuff be, Mr. Albano? I am confused as to why Van Drew thought Albano would be a good representative of the citizens of the 1st district. Albano’s claim to fame , as it were, is pressing for Michael’s Law. Michael’s Law increased penalties for third offenses (and beyond) of DWI. While that is a luadable mission, does it indicate a platform on which to run for state office?
Nevertheless, the First District elected him. Now two years later I wonder what Albano has done as an assemblyman. Apparently, not much. Not even Van Drew, Albano, Milam for the 1st District can come up with anything. That is why the commercial running touts Michael’s Law.
No disrespect to Albano, but isn’t this using your dead son again for politics? Two years ago the ticket used this issue, which was already signed legislation to tout the candidate. That there is nothing else in two years as a legislator to speak of is telling. Michael’s Law is old news. It may be good legislation, but it does not represent what you have done for New Jersey as an assemblyman.
As I have explained to the numerous pollsters this past week, I will vote for Norris Clark and Mike Donohue for state assembly and I will vote for no one for state senate. Neither Nick Asselta or Jeff Van Drew meet my criteria of a leader.
I want my legislators to work, not pass proclamations and other feelgood legislation.
