West New York Mayor Felix Roque spoke about a potential shared services agreement between the town and board of ed at their meeting Wednesday, but not before he was met with harsh criticism from Ralph Martell – Carlos Betancourt’s campaign manager for the 2015 mayoral election.Â
After the verbal confrontation, Roque commended Superintendent of Schools John Fauta for being open to working with the town to establish a new bus route for the students transferred from St. Joseph of the Palisades Elementary School to Harry L. Bain School.
The mayor also recalled his travels to school as a youth, sympathizing with parents on how a bus route would be a big help in this situation.
