When PATH Trains Just Aren't Enough

Hmm, we wonder if we'll start hearing local NJ governments lobby for expanded PATH train service in the off hours. Because a Hoboken city councilman was arrested for drunk driving on the West Side Highway over the weekend. The NY Times reports that City Councilman Chris Campos ran a red light on the West Side Highway near 43rd Street around 3AM Saturday morning. The police smelled alcohol on his breath and Campos subsequently failed a Breathalyzer test. He was released after spending the night (or morning) in jail.

Campos, who is a lawyer, could possibly represent himself. And maybe he'll put a curfew on himself (Campos proposed a curfew for Hoboken's youth last year).
