A definition of a “tool” from the Mirriam-Webster Dictionary:
”one that is used or manipulated by another”
Back in 2005 when George Shihanian and Dinanno were running for Council Slick Willy Ortiz, Hasbrouck Heights very own ”you-owe-me-a-job” Borough Attorney was the treasurer for their campaign. As is his modus operandi lots of $$ from the various individuals employed by Maser and, of course, the PAC money from Mr. Ortiz and his Northern Valley First.
Now just because Slick isn’t their treasurer (Juan Hernandez of Springfield Ave. is) for this new Dem campaign that again includes Shihanian and also Lenny and Maryetta this doesn’t mean that the puppetmaster Slick won’t be right there, moving the money, collecting the checks, and keeping a close eye on all his nice little ”bought” Democrats to make sure that they do and say the party line.
Now, who is the tool here?
