This morning the Essex West-Hudson Labor Council had its annual Scholarship Breakfast where Pablo Romero, son of Professor Debra Saivetz, received a $1000 scholarship. He is planning on attending Montclair State as a pre-med student. Ex-Mayor of Newark Sharp James was in attendance and was asked to say a few words by Assemblyman Tom Giblin. Mayor James talked about "paying it forward," and announced he was doubling the scholarship for each recipient to $2000. It was an exciting surprise for everyone in the room particularly the parents of the scholarship awardees
