Ward C Council kafuffle: Runner up in May's election Jimmy King wants to know if winner Nidia Lopez is a real Jersey City resident

King is making the claims that the Ward C ballots should be tossed and either a new election be held or he be declared the winner. In a move we find somewhat strange, Lopez would not talk to the Jersey Journal about the claims she is a real Florida resident, not a real legal resident of Jersey City. Through a spokesperson Lopez claims the charges are just lies from the Manzo team she helped defeat.

King makes the following claims: Lopez owns a home in Florida under a different name, Nidia Boehringer. On this home King says Lopez has received 9 years of tax abatements ONLY available to state residents. King also says Lopez has a Florida drivers license and is registered to vote in the Sunshine State.

Interesting charges. Even more curious we find is Lopez's refusal to address them and instead attack Team Manzo. Is Nidia Lopez hiding something? We'd sure like to get that cleared up before she starts actually voting on issues that affect Ward C.
