Question from Reader: Could Ruben Ramos once again get a free pass in the primary because most of Hoboken is all focused on Board of Education and City Council elections?

A reader stated in an email:
"The filing deadline is for NJ Assembly candidates is 4/11/2011. So much attention on the School Board and City Council elections, this could slip by unnoticed. People will wake up in June with the council majority back where it should be and turn their attention to the state assembly election in November, only to realize that we are stuck with Ramos for another 2 years because no one filed.It will be most interested to see if Beth is gathering signatures for this as well as a hedge. That would be a reason to make nice with Zimmer, since she'll want her blessing against Ramos. The only other seat left for her is freeholder."

Note: Assembly seats in NJ are only two year terms. ◦
