"Nah, you couldn’t detect a hint of nerves in Kevin Egan’s voice as he was being sworn in by Speaker Craig Coughlin during Tuesday’s New Jersey Assembly Reorganization meeting.... Susan held a 40-year-old family Bible that Kevin’s dad, Joseph Egan, used when he was sworn in, count ‘em, 11 times. He was on his way to a 12th election victory in District 17 last year, but decided over the summer that he wanted to step away from politics at 85."
