Where have we heard this before?

From the link:


“There has been speculation that Sweeney might challenge Stellato’s residency.

Stellato is registered to vote out of a funeral home he owns in Lyndhurst, where he spent twenty years as mayor and Democratic municipal chairman.  Property records show that he owns a home in Woodland Park, in Passaic County.  Stellato allies dispute that, saying he lives in an apartment above the funeral home.

As Senate President, Sweeney unilaterally has the authority to recognize which senators have courtesy over gubernatorial nominations.  Had Sweeney decided that Stellato lives in Passaic County, he could have assigned courtesy to the two Passaic senators, Nellie Pou (D-North Haledon) and Kristin Corrado (R-Totowa).

Sources say that Sweeney has agreed not to address the residency issue if Stellato moves quickly to leave the chairmanship.”
