Another Byrne tribute where no teams play

Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo will announce a proposal today to name the promenade between the Essex County Veterans Courthouse and the jurors parking lot as the Governor Brendan T. Byrne Plaza – a tribute to the 84-year-old former Governor, Essex County Prosecutor and Superior Court Judge.  Byrne also has a state forest named after him in the Pinelands, but no sports arena:  his name was taken off the arena in 1994, after the Republicans reclaimed control of state government.

Governor Byrne usually never misses the opportunity to tell the same joke that he was immortal, for a few years.
