Emil Carafa sets himself apart from other Bergen County mayors in his support of NEPOTISM...


Mayor Emil Carafa takes great PRIDE in his NEPOTISM


The quotes below came from the article, “Some NJ towns say they've found the solution to nepotism”:




Bergenfield 


"If you think there's a conflict, there probably is," said Mayor Norman Schmelz of Bergenfield, which adopted an anti-nepotism ordinance in 2004. "Why put yourself in that situation?"


Montvale

Montvale Mayor Mike Ghassali agreed.

"It's good government to make sure that a family member does not hire another member and discriminate against others," he said.


Saddle Brook

"Most people feel it's fair [anti-nepotism ordinance]," said Saddle Brook Mayor Bob White, who advocated for the ordinance. "You hear too many stories of favoritism in public office. I witnessed it myself as a former police officer. It's difficult for the employees."

Lodi

"Go into corporate America and it's no different," Lodi Mayor Emil Carafa said. "There are many connections there, too. In every vocation, people get other people in."


While other mayors are taking a stand against nepotism, Emil Carafa continues to defend it and even cheer it on.
