PASSAIC - Mayoral candidate Jose Sandoval stands on the porch of a voter who’s frustrated by gangs, sexual predators, drug dealers, cops and politicians. The voter says the cops own local bars and nitpick residents with parking violations if they get in the way of business traffic. If the drug dealers kill the pit-bull that guards his property, he’s convinced the cops will kill his pit-bull. It’s frustrating. He calls to his son-in-law, who stands dutifully at attention as the man grasps the child’s slender shoulders in two calloused hands. The boy shows no emotion in the face of three strangers who tower over him. “He’s autistic,” explains the man. “He can’t play outside here. There’s a child molester who lives up the street with three children. His wife’s a crack head. There are gangs in the streets. How can this boy play outside?” As for politicians...don’t get him started. Physician Alex Blanco campaigns on Saturday: Politicker Photo
