Baby-faced mayor-elect of NJ town who still lives at home had car ‘repossessed,’ incumbent claims

The 24-year-old mayor-elect of a New Jersey town who still lives at home no longer has a car — because it was repossessed, his soon-to-be predecessor claimed in a scathing statement the day after losing the election. Outgoing Belleville Mayor Michael Melham, 51, who was defeated by baby-faced councilman Frank Velez on Tuesday after an eight-year tenure, turned a Facebook concession statement into a bitter political grenade.   “To address the rumors circulating today… the Mayor’s car was NOT repossessed this morning!” Melham wrote in the Wednesday post.
