*POLL* They've got the power Hudson County's most influential people
The Reporter has compiled a list of the top 50 most influential movers and shakers of Hudson County, from top political officials to local bloggers and activists. Encompassing a breadth of categories from politics to the arts, the individuals yield tremendous influence in different ways. Some of those who hold high positions in local government actually failed to make the list if they have seen their influence wane. Former educator Nicholas Sacco rose to political power in the early ’90s. Due to a grandfather clause in state legislation limiting dual taxpayer-funded jobs, Sacco is able to earn three public salaries. As mayor of North Bergen, Sacco runs a tight ship and has an influence that extends far beyond the boundaries of that town. He typically wins local elections by a landslide. Regarded as a Democratic Party boss in Hudson County, Sacco has been instrumental in getting others elected and his endorsement is sought by many seeking political office. Sacco’s strong political connections – to Assemblyman Vincent Prieto, Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, and South Jersey political boss George Norcross, among others – as well as his influence with the Hudson County Schools of Technology make him a notable Hudson County player. He is arguably the real power in the Hudson County Democratic Organization (HCDO), although the organization is officially headed by Sacco ally and Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith. Sacco continues to make waves in Hudson County, most recently by reaching out to Jersey City councilman and mayoral hopeful Steven Fulop. A Democrat, Brian P. Stack has had his hand in politics since 1983, since he volunteered as a teenager and kept helping local residents with various problems. He has made his way through the ranks to become one of the most powerful elected officials in Hudson County, all while remaining a party renegade and something of an outsider among fellow Democrats.
