Ocean County Clerk Carl W. Block has been appointed as the next county administrator in a surprise move and will resign his elected office, succeeding Alan W. Avery, who has decided to retire. The appointment is for three years, and Block, who had been mulling a run in 2012 to recapture the Stafford mayor's post, has agreed not to pursue a political career during his term. In a stunning defeat last year, Block lost re-election as mayor after 26 years in office.
"I will be out of politics,'' Block said in public remarks after accepting the position.
That will be like Chris Christie swearing off cannolis.
