Latest story: Appointee of mayor, council keeps seat won by dead man
Once again, The Record comes through with a tasteful, non-inflammatory headline for coverage of the May 2005 Council Election.
For goodness' sake, Joe DeFalco was someone's husband, someone's father, someone's friend. He was a role model and critical figure in the Hackensack community, something The Record can never hope to be so long as it continues its advisarial relationship towards its home city. He's was a man who helped build community, and he deserves a damned sight better than the treatment The Record has given him.
It all comes down to why the people of Hackensack don't listen to The Record. There's no recognition of why Joe DeFalco's death was such a crushing blow to the city and community, and a continued insensitivity to the community's loss. Once again, The Record should be ashamed of itself.
