NJ Councilwoman hits and runs a delivery person on a bike

When the news of the accident first broke on July 19, I assumed DeGise, who is a member of the council in Jersey City, had done something awful, like get drunk and run a red light.

Then a video of the accident was leaked to the press. When I clicked on the video I saw that it was bicyclist Andy S. Black who did something awful – awful stupid, that is.

As for DeGise, her car just keeps driving. That was a big mistake on her part. She was later issued two tickets for leaving the scene of an accident. She’s innocent until proven guilty. But her spokesman issued a release saying she won’t be resigning her Council seat as many are demanding.

Good for her, I say. By Hudson County standards that collision was little more than a love tap, one that Black brought on himself.
