That's great. He's young so maybe he'll learn to drop the hogwash and start putting words to truths. In a very very quiet ceremony, neither advertised nor was a media gaggle invited Raj Mukherji was sworn in as a Jersey City Deputy Mayor last Friday. Mukherji, a managing partner in Impact NJ, a lobbying firm said he feels there are economic solutions to be had here in Cool City; “...I think there are creative ways that we think outside the box that we can find solutions.”
However when asked about following up his previous job, where he replaced Lori Serrano at JCHA, and his new Deputy Mayor gig where he replaces Leona Beldini, swept up in the same crime sting as Serrano (Beldini has been found guilty, Serrano has court appearances pending) Mukherji went full platitude on us:
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.”
That's great. Wonderful. How poetic. Johnny thinks he just threw up in his mouth a little.
We wish Mr. Mukharji well in his new job, we just wish he was a little further from Mayor Healy than his $2500 contribution to Healy's campaign for mayor in 2009 would indicate.
UPDATE: 2:32 pm
Johnny got a couple emails that Raj Mukherji took his oath of office before well over 100 people and that just because the press wasn't invited doesn't mean well wishers weren't present. Point taken. Johnny should have followed up on that point better. Actually Johnny is rather glad well wishers were there, it's an important job Raj takes on and this extra support is always welcome.
