HUDSON COUNTY, NJ - During his career, Bernard Hartnett, Jr. was often in the middle of the biggest political battles in Hudson County.
And, while if you believe the old adage that powerful people like him don’t die, they just fade away, his death at 91 last week marks the end of a turbulent political era a symbol of the modern, sophisticated politics we see in the county today.
Those who remember Hartnett vaguely recall when former Jersey City Mayor Glenn Cunningham resurrected Hartnett in one of the nastier political wars that tried to wrestle control of county patronage from then Rep. Robert Menendez.
