Question

I grew up in NJ, but since 1987 have been living on the left coast. My question is are the mayors of Hoboken, Jersey City, Fort Lee full time employees? I grew up in a town in northern NJ and the mayor was a part time position.

Thank you. n/t GP6971 Jan 2014 #2

Now I have to correct myself. Fort Lee is a borough, way smaller than the other two. onehandle Jan 2014 #3

They aren't boroughs.

So Mark Sokolich might be 'part time.' I'm not sure. He's a lawyer as well as mayor.

I think he has handled himself very well.....as have the other mayors who have spoken out. This whole thing just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
