NJ mayor admits to getting drunk, taking off his pants and passing out in employee's bed
MAHWAH, N.J. — New Jersey Mayor John Roth became so drunk at a township employee’s house party that he took off his pants and passed out in her empty bed without her permission, he said in an interview this week.
Roth said he apologized to the employee for his behavior. The Mahwah mayor, a retired communications executive, said he believed the whole episode to be a private matter. The employee, whom NorthJersey.com has decided not to identify, declined to comment
The revelations about Roth's conduct come as New Jersey lawmakers are grappling with accusations of widespread misogyny in New Jersey's halls of power. A working group of women political leaders and advocates has formed to hear from women via an online survey about workplace sexual harassment in the Garden State political realm.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, in response to those allegations, said this month that it will ban hard liquor from its annual "Walk to Washington" train ride, New Jersey's premier networking event for elected officials and lobbyists.
