	John O. Bennett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John O. Bennett III (born 1948) is a former New Jersey Republican politician who served as State Senator, President of the State Senate, and acting Governor of New Jersey during the course of his career.
		Bennett was a leading opponent of using state funds to construct a convention center/stadium in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey that would have been used by a minor league ice hockey team that Norcross had bought an interest in.
		Bennett graduated from West Virginia University with a B.A. in 1970, and was awarded a J.D. by the Seton Hall University School of Law in 1974.
