the son of retired Municipal Judge, Emil Yampaglia.
John is running with Tom Bradley, another life-long resident and they are
opposed to pay raises for political supporters and relatives of the
incumbents Mario Karcic and Donna Bocchino.
Both have been highly criticized for giving themselves pay raises as well as
for their relatives in the case of Karcic his nephew and Bocchino’s father

suburban.”
