Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein may be running out of time.
Another group has come out for Assemblyman Bill Baroni in his campaign to replace state Sen. Peter Inverso, who is retiring from his senate perch this year.
Baroni snatched several major labor endorsements from state public employee unions and laborers. Today, it won the endorsement of a South Brunswick union, according to Politics NJ.
PBA Local 1066, which represents police officers in South Brunswick, has endorsed Bill Baroni for State Senate. “We work hard at protecting our communities and Bill works hard at protecting our future from corruption and abuse”, said PBA Delegate James Ryan. “Bill has been one of New Jersey’s hardest working legislators and we have maintained an open dialogue since his election to the Assembly.”
Greenstein had an uphill climb to begin with against Baroni and as the endorsements mount that climb becomes even more steep.
On a related note, some readers of the paper the last few weeks may have noticed that we have spent time covering the legislative races. That represents a change — one our readers seemed interested in. We will be covering the race this year by focusing on those issues that have a direct and indirect impact on Cranbury, Jamesburg, Monroe and South Brunswick.
And we plan to endorse.
The Dayton papers — the South Brunswick Post and The Cranbury Press — cover towns with a total population of about 80,000, meaning we represent about 40 percent of the district. Add the two Packet towns — Plainsboro and West Windsor — and we have a majority.
I’ll pass along more lateras we develop our coverage guidelines.
