Government

Local government

Since it became a Borough, Tenafly has been governed by a Mayor and Council who are chosen through partisan elections held in November annually. The Mayor is the chief executive officer and the six Council members handle legislative functions. A full-time Administrator assists the Mayor and Council and coordinates the operations of government departments.

The Mayor of Tenafly is Peter Rustin, whose term of office ends December 31, 2007. The Mayor is elected to a four-year term and is eligible for re-election. The Mayor presides over all meetings of the Council but may vote only in case of a tie. The Mayor has veto power, which may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the Council.^[6] A mayor (from the Latin mÄior, meaning larger, greater) is the modern title of the highest ranking municipal officer. ... December 31 is the 365th day of the year (366th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era. ...

The Borough Council consists of six members, who are elected at large for three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats up for election each year. As the legislative body, the Council adopts ordinances and resolutions, decides on appropriations, approves appointments made by the Mayor, determines policy, and establishes the functions of the various departments of the local government. Each Council member is chairperson of one of the six standing committees.^[6]

Members of the Tenafly Borough Council are Council President Patrick J. Rouse (Police Commission; 2007), Carol Hoernlein (Building & Grounds Committee; 2009), Nadia LaMastra (Administration & Personnel Committee; 2009), Michael Lattif (Finance Committee; 2008), Robert Thompson (Fire Committee; 2007) and Jon Warms (Streets, Sanitation, Drainage & Parks Committee; 2008).^[6]

In November 2005, Councilman Jeffery Romano was arrested in Newark following a drug bust that uncovered forty bags of heroin in his car.^[7] Romano resigned from the council in June 2006 after pleading guilty to heroin possession and was replaced, then temporarily, by Jon Warms, who has since been elected to his own full term (November 2006).^[8] Heroin (INN: diacetylmorphine, BAN: diamorphine) is an opioid synthesized directly from the extracts of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. ...

On Election Day, November 7, 2006, voters filled two three-year terms on the Borough Council held by Republicans Charles M. Lipson and Joseph Salvatore, and the unexpired two-year term that had been filled by Jon Warms to replace Jeffrey Romano. As of Election Day, the council was split 3-3 between Democrats and Republicans, in a community in which registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 5-4 margin. The Democrats swept all three seats, with challengers Carol Hoernlein (2,768 votes) and Nadia LaMastra (2,718) elected, defeating incumbents Salvatore (1,769) and Lipson (1,746). Jon Warms (with 2,830 votes) was elected to serve the balance of the two-year term, defeating Republican challenger (and longtime former Councilman and one-time Republican Mayoral primary candidate) William S. Saunders (1,629). As of January 1, 2007, when Hoernlein and LaMastra took office, the Democrats have a 5-1 edge.^[9]^[10]^[11] is the 311th day of the year (312th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Tenafly's partisan political domination by Democrats (US Sen. Robert Menendez defeated his GOP challenger Tom Kean, Jr. here in the 2006 general election by a 2-1 margin; as well, Democrats up- and down-ballot were victorious within the Borough in '06, each Dem. candidate winning in each of the community's 11 election districts) is quite ironic. Tenafly, as much as any other municipality in Bergen County, is indicative of the "national inner suburban" and affluent move to the left throughout the 1990s and into the first decade of the 21st century. Prior to 1995, only Republicans had served as Tenafly's Mayor. Additionally, not only has local voter registration, while still dominated by undeclared voters, flipped, within about the same period of time from slightly Republican-leaning to slightly Democratic-leaning, but now with a 5-1 grip (Democrats') on the Borough Council, as of January 2007, Tenafly truly has swung from a traditional WASP-dominated, Republican-voting sleepy bedroom community; to, within a remarkably small period of years, a more diverse (particularly in religious terms), youthful, equally if not more affluent than ever before, typical NYC-centric Bergen County liberal, Democratic-voting suburb. As recently as the early and mid-1990s, almost year after year, Democrats did not even put up a nominee in general elections for Borough Council. Ironic, indeed, following the leftward-trend of Bergen County and New Jersey, we now see this Borough almost politically, ideologically, completely converse to where it was around ten years ago. This trend seems to be continuing and has not regressed locally or stayed stagnant.
