Cyclists call for resignation of hit-and-run councillor Jersey City councillor Amy DeGise failed to stop after striking a delivery cyclist – and only reported the incident six hours later cycling
However, the councillor, whose father Tom DeGise has served as the Hudson County Executive since 2002, has so far resisted calls to resign over the incident.
“Councilwoman DeGise was elected overwhelmingly just a few months ago and she has no intention of walking away from the commitment she made to serve the people of Jersey City,” her spokesperson said. “Amy recognizes the calls that have been made for additional information and transparency. She would very much like to address this situation more comprehensively, but there is a legal process that must play out first and she will not be making any additional public comment at this time.”Jersey City’s mayor Steven Fulop has defended his fellow Democrat, praising her for “proactively” reporting the incident.
“I’m happy that she took some responsibility – although it doesn’t correct what she did – she took some responsibility by going to the police department proactively afterwards,” he said.We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
