MAYOR MARIO M. KRANJAC

I made the following statement regarding hate speech during the Special Meeting of the Englewood Cliffs Mayor and Council on September 20, 2018.

“While I do not agree with very much that Governor Murphy does, I commend him for rooting out bigotry and hatred by calling for the resignation of Bergen County Sheriff Saudino who was recorded using racist speech. This is not acceptable.

We have a similar situation here in Englewood Cliffs where our Police Chief and other officers were recorded by the Chief engaging in anti-Asian and anti-women slurs and speech – so much for the ECPD’s so called stigma free zone.

I have brought administrative and criminal charges forward and I am still waiting for the Bergen County Prosecutor and New Jersey Attorney General to rid us of this hatred.

I ask the citizens of Englewood Cliffs to contact the prosecutor, the attorney general and the governor to make it clear that we will not tolerate hate speech in Englewood Cliffs.”
