Following the Senate’s affirmation of Reverend Ronald Slaughter to sit on the state Parole Board, veteran state Senator Ronald L. Rice (D-28) congratulated Slaughter.
“You may not like him; he’s like me,” said the veteran senator, referring to what he said was Slaughter’s habit of opposing power.
“There’s only one Ron Rice, you know that,” Sweeney beamed.
A native of Orlando, FL, Slaughter is the youngest pastor in history to serve as Senior Pastor of Saint James AME Church in Newark.
