In November 1993, the "newcomer" majority on the Hoboken Board of Education - Choice for Change - voted to appoint an individual from outside the district to be the new principal of the Demarest Middle School. Many "born-and-raised" individuals took exception to "one of their own" being passed over. The son of the local favorite gives voice to the populart sentiment that many would not admit:
"This is OUR town. Get out of our god-damn town!"
