That residency thing was amazing and really part of the reason why JC government was so dysfunctional... I hope that the voters in the other wards look closely at these incumbents and consider alternates like Yun and Boggiano... remember that is how Fulop got started.

Extremely sad. Rutgers Avenue has had it's share of bloodshed. I have for YEARS brought activities taking place to the attention of city hall, ward A councilman Sotolano and the south precinct. Based on his history, I really do not think Epps will be of any use either should he win in the runoff. We have requested cameras on Rutgers Avenue for years. But because it is not in a UEZ zone they refused to work out a way or to put some sort of alternative plan in place and if they did the south precinct I assume did not have enough resources to do so. However, there IS a corner "candy" (and drug?) store on Chapel and Rutgers so I can't comprehend why UEZ regulations couldn't have been changed in that regard. In the end, the pols that have been voted out, the ones that were dragged out in handcuffs due to corruption and the ONE that (THANK YOU!) decided not to run again in city hall are leaving and left (IMO) with blood on their hands as they were too busy stuffing their pockets and served with ulterior motives...GOOD RIDDANCE!
I am hoping Fulop and whoever takes ward A will be up for the task to keep our children and families safe... PLEASE HELP US! I do in my gut feel that Fulop will and I am hoping he doesn't prove otherwise. The reason I write this is because ward A has been let down for the past several and more so, eight years! My true and heartfelt condolences go out to this family. To ward A and the rest of Jersey City, please know that there are hard working law abiding citizens here that DO care. To those looking for drugs, prostitutes or to shoot up our neighborhoods that are killing our children and destroying lives, please know that dontstealmyrocks is jotting down your license plate, recording you and calling it in when I catch you!

I would rather have a few discrete rub-n-tug places than have prostitutes soliciting on the street.
Back during the Schundler administration, there was a big crackdown on the hotels on 1&9. Hookers and their johns were now doing it in stairwells or sneaking into people's backyards in the Western Slope section. Prostitution didn't go away.. it just moved. I would rather we take the approach Singapore has in regulating / controlling the practice.

Soon Nidia can go back to Florida. She will have no reason to be in Jersey City.

An old vendor of mine recommended GE/RCA/Hotpoint as GE made very reliable compressors. Over the past 14 years, I have had only one GE fridge have a compressor failure (I have over 12 of them).
GE now has their refrigerators manufactured by a third party in Mexico. I don't know if they use the GE compressors. I bought one anyway for my place. So far, no problems.

When the Florida thing came out, she was protected by Healy. It was plain she claimed Florida residency, but Judge ruled she could retain her seat.

I have been very curious about Mrs Lopez's record as Councilperson in Ward C. I did a google search and there isn't much. She has a wikipedia page and there is a bio for her on the Fulop website. Here is the only text from the Fulop site that has anything to say about Lopez's record:....:"Nidia has been actively involved in the community, serving on several boards and committees and working with various associations. Before and after becoming a Councilwoman, she has been an outspoken advocate for women?s issues, the homeless and expanded youth recreation in Ward C. ".... which is rather thin on details. Her wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidia_Rivera_Lopez gives a bio and notes that her husband was once a councilperson and that Lopez got elected on the Healy ticket so I wonder what caused her to shift over to Fulop for the last election? It also mentions the scandal Nidia had to endure when her status as a Jersey City tax paying citizen was called into question. I would love to hear the bottom line on that scandal since my recollection was that she was not paying taxes in Jersey City and registered in Florida? I could be wrong about that though and I hope someone will write in and provide the facts. Nidia lopez has her own web presence at http://www.nidialopez.com/ but on examination it looks like its a Fulop website. You would expect that on a website called nidialopez.com you would be able to learn more about her track record and her intentions for the future of her stewardship of the Ward, but there is only fluff ( poorly proof read fluff) and the odd admission that "I may not be able to do everything, but I can do something" which to me sounds like a poor choice of a slogan and in my opinion does not inspire confidence. I'm glad though that this topic is here for people to weigh in on and I look forward to reading what people have to say.

I bought a Whirlpool Gold at Lowe's. It has one of the best reliability ratings from Consumer Reports. I saw it on line at the Lowe's website where it was on sale but not on sale in the store. I printed out the on line price and brought it into the store and saved $150.00 off the in-store price.

Its a sign of the times, with little or no mental health programs, the blue collar manufacturing labor work force is being reduced by the day with companies actively seeking cheaper labor overseas. The next time you look at the clothes you buy or any white goods, also look at where it was made. I bet 90 % of all our belongings and materialistic goods are made overseas. Even our motoring industry is reducing and assembly of them is happening outside the U.S. - This is one reason China and India are going to be the next super powers and the U.S will suffer the same consequence as the Roman Empire. This country will implode if the government doesn't step in, because we have less then 10% of people with a university graduation. The genrification of our city is a direct cause for people ending up in our streets - The Nazi's did it to the Jews and set up ghettos, and here we are looking at ways to get these homeless people hidden or removed from society ... We haven't learnt a thing from history but made it an acceptable way to relocate and victimize a socioeconomic group instead of a religious one that icluded gypsies, the gay community and those with mental illness or disabilities.

If they really bother you just pepper spray them. I'm not sure though of the legality of different sprays in NJ. I think there is a limit on the percentage of Capsaicin in the formula. Quote:

I agree completely, if you give a homeless person a dime you are a class "A" SUCKER! You , I and your neighbor already give the homeless a ton of money through taxes. They can access anything they need...shelter, food, help with housing and job placement. This is all paid for already by everyone through income taxes and or property taxes. If you give them cash it is most likely used for drugs or alcohol. You think your doing good but your not at all.

I'm sorry for your troubles, but Journal Square is not a good place for a woman to live or walk around alone. Everybody I know has had problems there. It has many more years to go before it could be considered safe. Maybe the new mayor will change things, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Move downtown close to Grove St, Exchange Place or Newport if you want to live in peace.

So much outrage over a childish, cowardly act? Is it because the offenders are probably white and are supposedly destined for bright futures? Meanwhile kids are beating the crap out of other kids in our other city schools. I see very little outrage over events at Dickinson, like it's expected and therefore acceptable. As we saw in our most recent election, sometimes the so-called best and brightest are neither.

Wow there is some annoying behavior going on in this thread. I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to simply start a new thread with a title like "What has Nidia Lopez accomplished in Ward C"? And then her supporters could step up and articulate exactly what she has done or in which ways her policies had made a difference. And wouldn't it be better for the upcoming runoff election if we knew what Mrs. Lopez intends to do if elected? I myself could never imagine WANTING to be an elected representative of the people, but if I did I can't help feeling I would be out there doing my best to explain myself.

Looking to buy a new fridge - don't need anything fancy, just something that can last a long time.
Can someone recommend a model that you have good experiences with? I looked briefly online, but there are so many choices, don't know where to start. Thanks in advance! PS where are some good places to get reviews on appliances?

You might not feel that way if you backed a loser who got 2nd place with 12% in a field of 15 candidates. That person might stand a great chance of winning the runoff. Look up how Schundler won a special "no runoff" election with 17 percent of the vote in field of 19 candidates. This is why instant runoff makes so much sense.
