This morning, the New York Times reports a sex harassment accusation against former Senate president, Acting Governor and Scotch Plains resident Donald DiFrancesco.
Known to many of us as 'Donny D'.
Are the New York Times and the Ledger reading my notebooks?
It was just yesterday, in a throwaway piece about political signage having lost its party identification this fall, that I noted (though I must admit 'Donny D' was not on my mind at that moment) --
With both parties up to their ears in corruption scandals, indictments and zipper problems, it may make some sense to hide one's affiliation from the general public, especially since 60% of New Jersey's 4.8 million registered voters are unaffiliated. (Emphasis added.)
'Donny D' was good to Plainfield back in the days when the GOP ran the legislative show and the Dems were relegated to the sidelines. It was Donny D who engineered having Plainfield added to the original Abbott school districts -- regardless of how others have attempted to take the credit in recent years.
I must say that today's news is not the first time I have heard allegations Donny D had 'zipper problems'.
In fact, I was introduced to the very term by a real estate professional familiar with Scotch Plains real estate and politics from long years in the business.
And that was over a decade ago.
