The Night of the Lagana

Gathered at party headquarters in Hackensack, LD38 Democrats tonight unanimously selected Joe Lagana as the senate replacement for Bob Gordon.
Gordon has a scheduled Senate Confirmation Hearing tomorrow, on the same day that Lagana will assume the oath of office as his replacement.

As part of the [bubbleAutoLink text="LD38 shakeup" id="25738"], Bergenfield Council President Arvin Amatorio is expected to snag Lagana's vacated Assembly seat and Fair Lawn Mayor Lisa Swain is the expected replacement for retiring Assemblyman Tim Eustace (D-38).
The Star-Ledger today had more on Eustace's retirement as LD38 prepares for the Lagana senate era.
