Jersey City Mayor Blames “Latinas” for Naked Photos

By Ken Thorbourne, The Jersey Journal

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy’s newly expanded version of how he came to be photographed naked on his stoop shortly before the November 2004 special election insults Hispanics, the mayor’s political opponents say.

When the incident initially occurred, Healy told The New York Times that he had been drinking and couldn’t remember how he ended up on his stoop naked. A spokeswoman for the mayor told The Jersey Journal at the time that Healy heard a commotion outside, went to investigate, and someone snapped a photo.

But in a Tom Moran column that ran in Sunday’s Star-Ledger, Healy says he was lured outside by “three Hispanic girls, young kids” who were banging on trash cans.
