Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage doesn't plan on expending his blood, sweat and tears for state Sen. Barbara Buono's gubernatorial campaign, PolitckerNJ reports.

The veteran mayor of Elizabeth said he has "no history with her (Buono) and I don't see any plan from her campaign other than attack Christie."

"I'm voting for her, but I"m not inspired," Bollwage said in the report as he campaigned on behalf of the reelection campaign for his friend state Sen. Ray Lesniak (D-Union) Friday night. "If I see a plan, I'll reassess."

The Italian-American Police Society of New Jersey was set to honor Buono as "Woman of the Year" two weekends ago. But The Auditor hears the senator's campaign staff apparently told the group she only wanted to stop by and deliver a 15-minute campaign speech — and it didn't go over well with the 5,500-member organization.

The Auditor was told the group decided to honor Buono at its annual dinner dance because of her legislative record in support of police — and before she had decided to challenge Gov. Chris Christie.

After the group learned Buono only wanted to stop by for a brief speech during the cocktail hour, it decided to honor her some other time and rescinded the dinner invitation.

"If you're running for governor as a Democrat in New Jersey ... Italian-American civil servants is a base you might need," said one member of the organization who requested anonymity.

The society's president, William Schievella, stressed the group hasn't backed Buono in the race.
