Is Jerry Green a political Peeping Tom?



Plainfielders following the mayoral primary may have missed Assemblyman Green's poke yesterday at mayoral candidate Adrian Mapp and Jerry's own opponent in the Assembly race, Rick Smiley (see post here)
--
...We have mayoral candidates who would like to run for the office of mayor, and Mapp is trying to deny them the ability to run for technical reasons. My position to Mapp, Smiley, and all the other candidates, let them run and have the public weigh on and make the decision.
Is the Assemblyman asserting that the rules of the game shouldn't be followed?

Has he forgotten already that he, Jerry Green, thoroughly reviews petitions as they are filed, with an eye to challenging them?

And that a member of the public spotted him in the Clerk's office on the evening of April 6th (the filing date), during the Council agenda session, getting copies of the petitions made, calling me on their cell to relate the scene?

Now why would Assemblyman Jerry Green want copies of the petitions unless he was checking them for items to challenge?

Unless he's just a political Peeping Tom.
