He will however stay in this race until the end and lose. I really like Karen Koslowitz. She is hard working and cares about her constituents. Karen will be out of the race on May 21st when she does not receive County's designation. Pheffer and Marshall are both longtime Democratic District Leaders and therefore have a large leg up for Manton's support.
Jobs provide the grease to keep political machines running.
Pheffer clearly will be the most subservient to Manton. She has indicated that in her Borough Hall, the political grease is readily available. Her candidacy is a creation of term-limited Shulman who had expressed concern about the jobs of her present staff. Pheffer's key support seems to be all about patronage. She has placed the integrity of Borough Hall in jeopardy.
