To the Editor:

I recently I received a letter from Mayor John Spodofora endorsing Democrat mayoral candidate Joe Mangino in the November election. Certainly, the mayor is entitled to endorse whomever he sees fit.

The mayor says in his letter that Mangino is not part of any political “machine.” Quite the contrary, as Mangino has the full support of the Democratic Party and of the New Jersey Organizing Project, a nonprofit political organization of which he is president.
