Known to many as the conscience of the New Jersey Legislature, State Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-37) is a force in Garden State politics. A proud Jewish grandmother, Weinberg, 79, of Teaneck, has been known to use the Yiddish word kochleffel, which means pot stirrer, to both explain her ethos and exhort others to action. Weinberg stirred it up with PolitickerNJ about a range of issues as only she can.
