It includes the person who championed the waterway — and the ferry service that takes Jeseyans back and forth to Manhattan.
It includes numerous restaurant owners — and the owners of one of the most important (and most generous) food companies in the world.

After all, it includes a power couple — and Mr. Teterboro. And it has numerous governors, senators and mayors and commission leaders.
