Local boy couldn't get into RU, hence his animosity. "Fulop was born in Edison, New Jersey, to Jewish parents, Carmen and Arthur Fulop.[10] His parents were both born in Romania. His father grew up in Israel and was a sniper in the Golani Brigade during the Six-Day War.[11] He owned a delicatessen in Newark, New Jersey, where Fulop often worked, and his mother Carmen, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, worked in an immigration services office helping others gain citizenship. Through the sixth grade, Fulop attended Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva, an Orthodox Jewish elementary school in Highland Park, New Jersey, though he himself was not observant. For his last two years of elementary school and his first two years of high school, Fulop attended Solomon Schechter Day School of Essex and Union (now Golda Och Academy) in West Orange, New Jersey.[12][13][14]
Fulop graduated from J. P. Stevens High School. He went to Harpur College at Binghamton University where he graduated in 1999."
He played soccer at Bing...he probably went there because he couldn't have played for RU at that time.
It was definitely a dumb comment and will justifiably ding him in the primary. But he's not stupid, and has been a great mayor of JC.
Much more of JC is liveable and safe than it was in 2013. The Via program, new strong schools, major positive changes in the Heights and even Bergen-Lafeyette and Greenville...he has done very good things.
And IMO he's kept a lot of the issues that NYC has faced out of town, handled COVID way more adeptly than Hoboken...
You have to compare politicians (like football coaches) to the alternative...not to God. And he's better than Healey, better than Ravi, better than Adams, even if those are low bars to cross.
The question is whether he'll be better than anyone else in the race. And Jack the Whack has never supported RU in anyway. Hopefully Mayor Fulop apologizes.
