Hey, mayor, you can't get more supportive of Nidia Lopez than "we're confident she's a resident"

Mayor Jerramiah Healy really went to the wall for his candidate in Ward C, embattled (who isn't embattled on Healy's team at this point?) councilwoman and Florida resident Nidia Lopez. When asked about her residency Healy came out with this rock solid supportive comment:

"This matter is winding it's way through the courts and we'll await the resolution. Once again, we are confident that Nidia Lopez is a resident of Jersey City's Ward C."

Yep, nothing says I know for a FACT she's a resident and you stupid reporters get off my lawn like "This matter is winding it's way through the courts..." WHY is it winding it's way through the courts? How does that even happen? Did you not vet her? Did you not ask where she had paid taxes the last decade? Oy...

In more Jerramiah Healy news, Mr. Clean was visited by the FBI the day before all the busts happened. You can read about the tainted Mayor and the FBI here.
