This article ought to be at Peter Rodino, which is now a redirect to here. I'd move it myself, but it looks like the redirect page needs to be deleted first (it has a history), which I don't have the ability to do. John Broughton23:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Pete Rodino loomed large in our section of Newark. I lived around the corner from the Congressman. He was adored by both blacks for his civil rights works and Italian-Americans for his outstanding constituent work. Senator or Representative Pothole applied to him. It is sad for me to see his accomplishments downgraded (in my opinion). I could not wait to flee Newark for Manhattan. Someone from the area must have more material. 75Janice (talk) 05:00, 13 September 2009 (UTC)75Janice[reply]
This article states that Mr. Rodino sponsored legislation which made Columbus day a national holiday. But, Mr. Rodino was not a member of congress until 1948, and columbus day was named a national holiday in 1934. What is resolution of this, one piece of information must be incorrect.

No contradiction. Columbus Day, though set aside by Congress in 1934 as a day to be observed, did not become a federal holiday (i.e. a day off for federal workers) until 1968. Dirubin (talk) 11:20, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
