JC Cheerleader I'm just going to cut and paste the important point in my earlier post in which I say ..."

Are you really suggesting the burden is on the voter to go and ask a candidate these questions during a campaign? You yourself say Lopez "really helped you out" in an earlier post so you should have no trouble explaining how she was helpful. Your clearly cheerleading for her so why not simply name her accomplishments and goals, if she has any.

The title if this thread is 'Rich Boggiano for Jersey City Council Ward C', isn't it? I came here to read why he deserves my vote. All of the posts bashing Councilwoman Lopez don't tell me a thing about Rich Boggiano. I can see by their venomous writings by some they think the title of this thread is, 'Write why you hate Councilwoman Lopez'. Quite frankly, their posts tell me more about the author than it does about Councilwoman Lopez and nothing about Rich Boggiano. The 'burden of proof' is on each candidate to demonstrate their qualifications. And this thread is not about Councilwoman Lopez, it's about Mr. Boggiano. I want to hear about Rich Boggiano. I have been in the Square for almost one year now and have never heard about him before this race. I've been in Jersey City 20 years and I know nothing of him. It's not like he's famous or anything and I don't hang around with you, his friends, so go ahead, tell me what has he done in the Square, for the residents, so those of us who don't know him so can learn about his contributions. I'm ready, willing, and happy to listen to you.

I am not on the inside so I cannot comment about school "culture," but it certainly appears that the school administration has taken all the right steps. They are not tolerating bad behavior.

As for the McNair culture of "academic grind", yeah, well.....when the kids who 'rule the school' are at the Intel fair and taking 5 AP courses, they don't have too much free time for bullying.

JCCheerleader - At this point I'm confident you are someone closely associated with my opponent and not simply an ordinary voter who is a fan of her as a politician. Your attempt to portray yourself otherwise is disingenuous.

In the past 40 years, I've earned my reputation as a fighter with allegiance to a single group: My community. Not the city or county government. Not the HCDO. Not the political boss's that come and go.

I'm proud to be Ward C's independent voice. I dare say most voters agree with me based on the results last Tuesday where I was up against a well financed incumbent candidate on a very popular mayoral ticket. I agree with Steve Fulop on many many things, but there's a really good chance he's going to throw a lot of money into defeating me on June 11 because any mayor would rather have a rubber stamp than even the slightest risk of dissent. That's his choice to make, but I'm not the kind of person who backs down from a good fight, especially when it comes to my community.

Actually, I'm not. I am relatively new to the Square after having been very involved in the Heights community as a volunteer for over 19 years. I am not campaigning for anyone nor am I related to anyone who is running. I have no relatives in Jersey City beside my husband. I also pay a lot of taxes and get very little back from Jersey City in the form of services.
I believe that whomever gets paid for the job of Councilperson should contribute more than I do as a volunteer. I did not support Bill Gaughan or campaign for him yet I will always give him credit for what he did for the Heights community. I am doing the same for Councilwoman Lopez and will do the same for you if you're elected.
I am asking you these questions because this forum is a great opportunity for you to show me-a person who votes on a candidate's merits, what you're about. Instead of looking at me as one of the negative persons who like to make personal attacks at our candidates, look at me for what I am: a taxpaying good citizen who wants to vote for the best candidate for Councilperson. Why don't you go back and re-read what you've written and then what I've written in response. You'll see that I want nothing more from you than information on your skills as a Councilperson.

But you can put them in jail right? They are harassing people and I'm pretty sure the law doesn't allow for that. Plus, they are loitering.

This sympathy for the homeless is exactly why there are so many of them in JC. Able bodied individuals should not be begging on the streets. I feel like punching people who give to pan handlers


Agreed. I called the police one time after being threatened to have my ass kicked for not giving someone 50 cents. The cop just said "ok we'll remove her". I'm assuming they tell them go to a new corner, because a week later she was back

Re: Rich Boggiano for Jersey City Council Ward C
Home away from home
Home away from home


I have been a huge Fulop supporter, however the only person that I refused to vote for on his ticket was Lopez.

If she was standing in front of me in Ward C or anywhere I would have no idea who she is. In fact, most of her neighbors when shown a photo of her while campaigning had no clue who she was. That's pretty bad that as a lifetime Ward C resident (with the exception of a short stint in Ward E) I can easily identify all of the other council members but not my own council person.

While I had no intention of voting for her, I think that not showing up for a debate was pretty disrespectful to her supporters.

Rich has been an activist in his neighborhood for a long time. Not only is he the president of his neighborhoods association but he was a police officer here for many years. He raised his family here and even after retirement from the JCPD still resides in Jersey City. He also volunteers his time at the local animal shelter, a place that needs to see the face of our city government more often.

I'd love to see what kind of "help" you received from Lopez that has truly benefited your neighbors aside from yourself. It sounds to me that you are either a mole or just a buster looking for trouble. Every post you make in this thread is some sort of softball question asking "prove to me why you are worthy Mr. Boggiano" even though you are clearly a Lopez supporter.

Why don't you walk over to his house and knock on his door and speak to Rich? Better yet, why not catch him while he is out on foot for the next month campaigning? I am sure he'd love to talk to you in person.

Stop asking stupid questions. Go to Rich Boggiano's website. Watch the videos, read his agenda. Educate yourself on where he stands. He shouldn't have to tie your shoes and button your shirt for you if you're old enough to vote.

Yeah, he went to Prep for "freshman for a day" and walked home past McNair. He just got a gut feeling from looking at the kids he knew at both of where he belonged. We agreed.

I guess I shouldn't be overly harsh on Prep, but one of the appeals of their package was the moral and philosophical emphasis of the Jesuit tradition, as opposed to a culture of academic grind at McNair. Then you hear of this, and of nonsense like jocks bullying, and you wonder how much is lip service like so much of all organized religion, including my own.

My wife the pragmatist says get 1000 kids together and this kind of stuff is inevitable. I disagree, and feel that intolerance of intolerance CAN be instilled. One of the many amazing things I've observed at LCCS is that no one gets teased about their names, no matter how ethnic, weirdly spelled or foreign. This was not my grade school experience. Times can and do change.

Because police in Jersey City have better things to do, like deal with violent crimes in this city. You think Jersey City is the only place where this happens? Also, if it is so important to you, why don't you report them to the police yourself? Furthermore, if all these places were raided and shut down, would you feel any safer on the streets at night? I know I wouldn't. Finally, shutting them down will only result in somebody else opening up the same kind of place a few doors down the next month. People are going to do this no matter how hard law enforcement pushes.

If you reply to this, try NOT TO OVERUSE THE CAPITAL LETTERS.

What makes this ironic if not appalling is that Prep sells themselves on the basis of making boys into "upstanding and moral young men". I was already glad we declined their offer.

Moronic kids, if not "turned", become moronic adults. We have enough of them already. This isn't a hanging offense, but it's not something to be ignored. Good schools don't practice 'zero tolerance'; they practice 100% response.

I do hope they get to the bottom of this.....and it should not be too hard to trace....if they actually talk to someone who knows about cell phones and computers.


As someone who has for years been running into St. Prep kids on my commute/travel.......i would say many are pretty much regular kids.

But when it came to prep kids who played sports(many wear their team jackets) lots and lots of douches.

Things that will happen

1) The cops will not find whoever is behind this unless someone just plain rats these turds out. This isn't a knock on the cops, merely that they're not going to get the records from which IP logged onto a service originating out of Montenegro, trace it here to the states, get which service provider it originated from, and find the user. That's assuming the person didn't use a proxy or 3 anyway. If they want any hope of success, they need to lean on kids to squeal. Good luck with that, these being mostly upper-class kids who's parents probably have lawyers (and the stupid nonsense that is the anti-snitching creed from rap the past decade).

2) Moronic kids will always go about being moronic kids.

3) People will overreact about what should be done, despite there being little/no hope of finding out who this was.

Re: Only ONE Council Seat Decided - ALL Others Up for Grabs
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


The multiple elections are going to happen, even though no one is thrilled by it. It's a matter of law, and no amount of complaining is going to change that in the next few weeks.

While the instant runoff is a long-term solution, requiring state legislative change, there's an easier solution close to hand.

The real problem with this runoff is the poor design of the municipal election. Had it occurred a week earlier, its runoff could have been folded into the primary, which is an immovable date affecting the entire state.

Moving the municipal offices from May into the November general election is the immediate solution. While it may complicate the ballot, it simplifies the electoral process, and gets greater turnout for these important local offices. It is allowed by state law, and is a relatively simple change to make.

We're going to see how that works for our school board election this November - the overwhelming popular choice of voters - and should make the same change for all other city offices.

3 men shoot up Jersey City building, shattering one tenant's window: cops
Home away from home
Home away from home


Anthony J. Machcinski/The Jersey Journal
Jersey City police are searching for three men they say opened fired on a building on Summit Avenue Thursday night.

One the bullets shattered the window of a woman who lives on the second floor, police said.

The shooting occurred in front of 1166 Summit Ave. at 9:34 last night. The woman who reported her window shattered told police that she heard multiple shots fired.
A man who was
sitting outside on Summit Avenue at the time told police three men walked up to the house and one of them pulled out a handgun from his waist and fired eight shots at the building, reports state.

No one was injured, reports said, and two bullets, one from a second floor hallway and one from a first floor apartment were recovered.

The three men were only described as wearing black hooded sweatshirts with their faces covered. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call (201) 547-JAIL.

12-year-old boy killed, father wounded in Jersey City shooting: authorities
Home away from home
Home away from home


Anthony J. Machcinski/The Jersey Journal

A 12-year-old boy was killed last night after he and his father were shot on Rutgers Avenue in Jersey City, authorities said this morning.

The boy, Gywan Levine Jr., 12, of Jersey City was taken to Jersey City Medical Center after the shooting but passed away to an apparent gunshot wound to the shoulder, Hudson County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Gene Rubino said this morning.

Levine Jr. and his father, Gywan Levine Sr., were walking on Rutgers Avenue between Stevens Avenue and Wade Street around 9:50 p.m. when two men approached them and shots were fired, Rubino said.

Levine Jr. was struck in the shoulder area and Levine Sr. was shot in the leg, Rubino said.

The two were transported to Jersey City Medical Center where Levine Jr. passed away, Rubino said. Information on Levine Sr. was not immediately available.

Rubino said that the boy had been dribbling a basketball and when shots were fired, many in the area began to run away.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Unit at (201) 915-1345. All calls will be kept confidential.

Rubino said the incident is still under active investigation and that Homicide Prosecutors and Jersey City Police worked through the night and will continue working through the weekend on this case.
