RIVER EDGE, N.J. (AP) — An Assembly candidate who dropped out of the race after a book of rants he wrote about gays, breast-feeding moms and others surfaced has resigned from his council seat.
Republican Anthony Cappola resigned from the council Friday, River Edge Mayor Sandy Moscaritolo told The Record.
Cappola acknowledged last week that he wrote the book titled “Outrageous!” 12 years ago but said he wasn’t the same person anymore.
The mayor said that he worked well with Cappola and that Cappola had contributed as a council member, even using his skills as a disc jockey to help at public events.
In a statement last week, Cappola said he was sorry if he offended anyone and he took responsibility for the book.
