On Thursday October 28, 2010 at 6pm Democratic Committee Chair Ravi Bhalla put together a meet and greet for Democratic Candidates Frank Schillari for Sheriff and Congressman Albio Sires who is running for re-election to Congress. The event was at Room 84 on Washington Street and thanks go out to Joe Bronco who owns Room 84 which has hosted political events in the past. Mayor Dawn Zimmer, Mike Lenz and a few other local politicians were in attendance. Beth Mason and Tim Occhipinti did show up but they did so very late. Timid Tim was without any of his handlers and slid out barely noticed. Beth Mason showed up so late it was almost like she wasn't there at all. Has Beth Mason ever showed up on time for an event (besides perhaps her big 50th birthday party she arranged in her own self-serving honor)? Just saying. Any way I digress.
There were introductions by Ravi Bhalla, Mayor Dawn Zimmer, Athony Romano and Ruben Ramos. Frack Schillari gae a brief speech about why he was running for Sheriff and then the floor turned to Albio Sires. Albio reminded voters that the last few years have been tough for Democrats. He stated that the number one priority is jobs. He noted that jobs have been created in the current Administration but the results are not enough. He also spoke about the things that Democats behind Obama stand for that are important like Health Care. As far as local issues he touched on funding for the flooding and for Stevens Institute. The event lasted until a little after 7pm.
Below are some photos of the event.
