Orange Council President Ed Marable, Jr., is crossing party lines to endorse the Republican candidate for register, Terriann Moore-Abrams, who's on the ballot with GOP gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie.
"She's everything I would want in a register," said the council president, a supporter of Gov. Jon Corzine and other Democrats on the ballot this year. "The register oversees deeds and mortgage records, and is one of the biggest sources of fees in the county. Terriann is the ideal person to do that job."
Moore-Abrams was a good Democrat who toiled dutifully for the party, she says, and worked hard in her job as one of Essex County's chief attorneys.
When Essex County register Carole Graves said she wasn't seeking another five-year term for the $91,650-a-year position, Moore-Abrams, a former assistant prosecutor and county counsel, put in for the job.
