    Congrats to Mr Cruz,I'm sure it was well deserved and warranted..there shouldn't have to be any discrimination what so ever when working for city government..I'm sure this incident took place under the former administration..Sad to say but JJ put the city back to the stone ages with his arrogant selfish antics..lets just hope for the best for the future of Paterson and everyone in it..GOD BLESS TO ALL..
