Monmouth County Democratic Chair Victor Scudiery has asked Lenny(Everyone Loves Anna Little) Inzerillo to resign his candidacy for Monmouth County Freeholder, according to anonymous sources.
Scudiery is concerned that Lenny's ELEC reports from his 2003 race for Assembly have still not been filed, as first reported by Honest Abe on February 5 of this year. Abe's blog and Everyone Loves Anna are reportedly the source of Victor's concern.
Inzerillo, who was nominated by election in the Democratic primary in June, is said to have refused to resign, blaming the snafu on Monmouth County Dems Executive Director Kate Burlett, and former Executive Director Robin Panten.
Scudiery is said to have taken the story to the Asbury Park Press, in an effort to put public pressure on Inzerillo to bow out.
UPDATE: Asbury Park Press August 3, 2006
DEMOCRATS WITIHDRAW ENDORSEMENT OF INZERILLO. LENNY REFUSES TO RESIGN
"This is not about campaign filings," Inzerillo said of the party's stated reason for backing off his candidacy.
"This is about the direction this party is taking. I questioned that direction, and as a result, I was told I was "out of control.' Well, I won't be bullied and I won't be bossed," Inzerillo said.
Scudiery: "I hope he comes to his senses and resigns"

When I made the point about Clifton's "issues" with pay to play, Abe said something that made a some sense...if something has been cleared up then maybe it shouldn't be this big to do.
Well, Len's 2003 is cleared up, and the 2005 will be cleared up tomorrow, so what's the big deal here?
It's a late ELEC report? That's Democrats and Republicans all over this state. No wheeled money... no pay to play...not even big money.
it is an issue, but i don't really see how the dems act like failing to file the $94k quarterly report (with a ton of GOTV money expended) on time isn't a big deal but the couple grand inzerillo has failed to file is the end of the world.
what a way for an organization to shoot its foot off in august.
no one is talking about "bad money" here...
if it becomes that then it's another conversation. right now the conversation is about ELEC filing.
it should be done. there should even be a fine. and if there is funny money then it is another thing entirely. i haven't seen the reports but no one has anything to say yet at least.
there's a difference between doing housekeeping and finding dirt, elephant man.
in the meantime, i think a lot of victor and i know he is doing what he believes is right. and anytime something is coming from there it is important.
and abouty the "leave my party alone" thing:
ok, fine. just so long as YOUR PARTY doesn't involve MY TAX MONEY. but since YOUR PARTY has all the office holders that are spending MY MINE then i think i'll comment when i want.
unless the idea of people commenting about people who are spending their money is something that may be american but not your brand of "republican," mr. elephant lawyer.
"The internal dispute in the county Democratic Party likely will do little to improve its chances of breaking the more-than-20-year grip Republicans have held on the freeholder board." (APP)
While its nice to see our competitors in turmoil, this is not necessarily good news for my favorite Freeholder.
It's a long way till November.
deep throat...
do you know Lisa?
"For the good of the party" two posts regarding fundraising have been removed, at the request of the chairman.
Hopefully it will be good for the party, and we'll know that in short order. If it turns out otherwise, this blog will respond, for the good of the party.
See you all on Tuesday.
elephants,
who talks like "...must be destroyed..."? yeah...republicans do. this one "has to be deestroyed," that one "must be eliminated." what is wrong with you folks?
joe a. has nothing to do with this. as for town center, i support it because it is a good idea (as opposed to spot zoning and putting residential along highways instead of business). but town center is in the courts and its future is in the hands of those courts and no politician, talking head or pundit is going to change that status.
the world does not revolve around the town center. i wish it a lot of luck but it's future is unclear... unclear enough for it not to be at the center of anything.
find a new line, elephants. it's an old song.
as for the "trenton democrats"...why don't YOUR republicans stop working for the ones from middlesex county?
Please stop saying you are Anna. Thank you.
george norcross isn't my idea of any kind of legititmate leader. i don't have any buds who work for him, or take money from any of his "lieutenants."
yeah...norcross is bad. i think there's an argument that MOST of what is bad goes back to him. but if someone like him is the problem...which i think it is... then at some point it CAN'T be ok for democrats OR REPUBLICANS to keep working in the best interest of him OR HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATES (yes...JOHN LYNCH).
i would take all the vilification of lynch and norcross as democrats or even as people as any republican wants to give...it's pretty clear i am not a fan of theirs anyway. but, wouldn't it make a lot of sense for some of YOUR PARTY'S MOST SENIOR LEADERS not being his errand boys, proxies or business buddies/clients FIRST?
Hey, Norcross isn't the guy that has Monmouth's interest on his top priorities, neither is Lynch or Jack Westlake or a lot of (perhaps now former) Monmouth GOP "friends."
You can all add a new blog.
Let me get this right jim purcell is a supporter of george norcross??
monmouth rastaman:
do you have a reading issue? is it a public school problem or do you just post before you read something?
george norcross is, for whatever reason, identified with the democratic party in new jersey. he is a problem for EVERY DEMOCRAT and, whether anyone wants to admit it or not, EVERY single monmouth county republican because many of THAT party's leaders are all about him, his money, his support and i guess that means whatever he wants to do.
in fact, in monmouth, ONLY democrats ini the mainstream party are not part of whatever he has going on and i am totally ok with that. as a democrat in new jersey, i would be the first one to say he is a bad influence and shouldn't have anything to say about a dog catcher getting elected.
rastaman...reading-it's fundamental or just stay off the boards because it's otherwise annoying.
elephants:
i guess you ought to go to www.bayshorenews.blogspot.com. there's probably a good reason for a lot of things. of course, it all has to do with money and appointments...you heard of those no doubt as a political hack attorney.
i really like that you try to dismiss a "fellow republicans" garbage because you kiss up to them so much... probably for the sake of work. and it's not a big secret at all, at this point a lot of people know why this isn't getting looked into.
Jim Purcell said:

That's not true Jim, and you know it.
I'm not saying that Norcross doesn't have influence with some Monmouth Republicans. The truth of the matter is that that wing of the Monmouth GOP was rebuked at all three of our conventions this year, albeit unwittingly at the third.
yes, true. there are republicans, in fact most of the grassroots, that rebuke him. still, if the top of the food chaini is in his "good favor" then where does that leave the organization.
i know in the matter of a few cycles, aznd especially with this new chairman, it may be different. but there are a lot fo old faces there and they make money through lynch and co. and money is a powerful lever.
Let's remember that the Monmouth County Democrats have no problems accepting contributions from Camden County sources. Like Friends of Joe Roberts. Sounds like a Norcross connection there. And don't forget about the Union County gang... Lesniak, Cryan, et al.
Cuts through both parties, Jim.
abe:
"sounds like george norcross" isn't norcross. prove something and i'm on board. joe roberts is in charge of the state pac. republicans have a state pac too and wouldn't turn down their own state pac if anyone in trenton wrote the check. as for cryan and lesniak...they're not BUILDING anything in monmouth or muscling anyone to get anything built.
if john lynch or jack morris or jack westlake for that matter just gave money to the republicans and DIDN'T want their developments, or positions on Monmouth County boards or their middlesex friends to get plum assignments then frankly there wouldn't be a lot to talk about. But, lynch IS muscling folks with the help of some GOP "friends" in power for developments, middlesex dems ARE getting plum assignment on various boards (e.g. Westlake) and getting projects of morris's through.
when the money doesn't work on politicians, then the threats have come and it is nonsense. are you really comparing getting a donation from the state dem pac to THAT?
i am saying that john lynch, jack morris and jack westlake gave a lot of money to joe kyrillos for his elections of the past. it was A LOT of money.
i am saying that mr. kyrillos interjected himself into the matawan-aberdeen train station deal, which mr. morris was involved with, when he spoke with mr. coren and mr. leo. i am saying that is, in my simple opinion, inappropriate given his circumstances with one of the developers involved.
i am saying that jack westlake is one of the biggest middlesex democrats ever and why is he on the county tax board? better yet, why is alma ltd., his company, such a regular contributor of kyrillos given the fact that he and lynch (westlake's business partner) are the big guys of middlesex.
i am saying that these contributions also happened while kyrillos was the state chairman and it leaves me to ask why the state gop chairman would take contributions from the middlesex dem boss? i am saying these things, among others. and, if you like proof, please go to: www.bayshorenews.blogspot.com.
oh yeah, what else am i saying/ i am saying that jack morris was named the lead developer of matawan while clifton was mayor. i am saying that, when he was a freeholder candidate, clifton accepted $5K in campaign donations from an east brunswick pac that had morris as one of its contributors. and i am left asking why sucj a middlesex pac would donate to a monmouth republican?
when it comes to the feds, what they seized and what they find is their business. what happened above happened. and, if you want to argue, elephants, that this conduct is ok because it doesn't rise to the level of criminality than i would say that your ideas of good office holding have an incredibly low bar.
what is good conduct in office should not be measured only by if one can get arrested for it. such conducted should actually be forthright and in the best interests of the people one serves.
what i am saying is fact. dance around, or prance in your case, or do whatever you want. but fact is fact and fact does not go away for a public figure receiving contributions, sir.
well elephants,
according to coren, which was in print, he believed there was a preference in his and leo's talk with kyrillos.
leo and him both knew that columbia group "was least in conformity" with the specs put out(according to independent engr. report by commission professional). but mr. kyrillos reportedly told them the specs were "too tight" and it had NOTHING to do with "skyscrapers" and your partisan babble, sonny.
according to coren, he was informed by morris' attorney that morris "...knew people in government..." who were going to get him his project. and, by the way, when leo wouldn't go along with this farce, it just so happened he was fired. he's not on the record about a lot, but it is a fact from that timeframe he was NOT on board with pushing Columbia Group, especially since they were not in complaince with the specs.
despite not being in complaince with the specs, matawan pulled out of the joint town commission and then unilaterally named morris (a.k.a. columbia group) to be the lead developer in matawan.
no REPUBLICAN was trying to save ANYTHING by way of skyscrapers, dolt. at the time, clifton was the mayor. he was ok with columbia group. it was an impressive choice on the issues, at least it was fruitful later when he received $5K in pac money from a pac morris paid into.
and as for the "little man" thing... well you talk pretty bold for a fancy little political lawyer who hides behind a ridiculous nickname.
the app reported that jack morris was the developer involved in the business down in west long branch.
do you want to keep on doing this and try and find a feasible argument, elephants, because there is none.
you're talking partisan fairytales and i am talking about what happened. i may answer you in the future, if you have something other than another mother goose story to say.
you present nothing. elephants. your arguments are as hollow as your integrity. you're a slug, but that isn't news to you.
i have facts, firsthand witnesses and elec reports. you have the anonymous babbling of a partisan magpie minion. thanks for playing mr. anonymous, who cites no sources other than his anonymous little self.
goodbye, we are done.
"Yep, Jimbo, your party wants to do for Monmouth County what it did for Essex County, buildings, corruption and all.
Go away now, little man. Norcross is calling. "
True but funny.
Jim can't say wheeling is wrong.
I am a life long democrat and I am fed up with this garbage.
