MAHWAH – A picture showing Councilman George Ervin posing with a Confederate flag has surfaced a week before the election – and days after the municipality was sued by the state for allegedly trying to keep Orthodox Jews from moving in.
The Mahwah councilman is not the first elected official in New Jersey to be connected to the Confederate flag in recent months.
Atlantic County Freeholder John Carman apologized after he was pictured with a patch on his vest that included the Confederate flag.
Assemblyman Parker Space, R-Sussex, threatened to sue political opponents who he said harassed employees at his farm after he share a picture of him with a Confederate flag design at a country music concert.
