Feisty Republican ready to take on Sarlo

It’s not all gloom and doom for Bergen County Republicans. Out of the election day carnage came what could be prove to be a bright spot for GOP morale.

His name is Mike Guarino, a former Bergen County health commissioner and constant thorn in the side of local politicians.

While there’s no question his candidacy is a long shot -- a Hail Mary even -- he will at least provide some kind of challenge to Democratic State Senator Paul Sarlo.

“I’m 78 years old and running for office,” said Guarino. “I must need to have my head examined.”

Leonard Lance is infatuated with Robert Martin, but can Shirley Turner lose?

Is Shirley Turner really in trouble, or did someone just spin Joe Donohue? In a review of competitive State Senate races for the upcoming mid-term elections, The Star-Ledger listed the 15th district as one of the in-play seats that the GOP needs to win to take control of the Senate.

GUARINO: SARLO FAILED NORTH ARLINGTON AND RUTHERFORD

Release Date: Aug 2 2007

“Senator Sarlo's brother is being paid more in taxpayer money than the state could come up with for either North Arlington or Rutherford," Guarino said. "And that doesn't count the hundreds of thousands of state tax dollars Sarlo funnels into his own pocket through state aid to towns where his engineering firm has no-bid contracts."

"This obvious taxpayer rip-off needs to be investigated by the U.S. Attorney immediately to determine whether Senator Sarlo had anything to do with directing state tax dollars into his or his brother's pocket."
