In Jersey City, progressives banding together to take on Team FulopUpdated Aug 08, 2021; Posted Aug 08, 2021 If you’re going to take on the big kids on the block, it pays to have some friends at your side. That seems to be the strategy of a group of Jersey City candidates challenging the slate of candidates led by Mayor Steven Fulop. An early indication of this informal alliance came on July 27 when Council at-large candidate Chris Gadsden introduced some of his allies who are hoping to get more progressive, independent voices in elected positions. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2021/08/a-gr ... an-informal-alliance.html

Mark Stewart, who Wednesday was ordered detained through his trial for aggravated manslaughter in the death of 30-year-old Felicia Stewart just before 1 a.m. July 27, was released on “Level 3 monitoring” in that case as part of the state’s criminal justice reform that did away with cash bail. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2021/08/man- ... drug-dealing-charges.html

Jersey City Council discusses establishing Cannabis Control Board during caucus meetingJuly 12, 2021 5:26 pm The Jersey City Council reviewed their legal marijuana ordinance, which includes the establishment of a Cannabis Control Board (CCB) to regulate who will receive a license in the city, at today’s caucus. By Daniel Ulloa/Hudson County View First Assistant Corporation Counsel Nick Strasser explained the ordinance establishes a three-person CCB, all appointed by the mayor, that will serve staggered three-year terms. He said it would be comparable to the ABC board, which regulates liquor licenses. Those who wish to operate in JC will likely be in touch with Jersey City Supervising Planner Matthew Ward and other city officials as the process continues, Strasser noted. https://hudsoncountyview.com/jersey-ci ... rd-during-caucus-meeting/

Cunningham DUI summons not affecting majority leader contest, Sweeney saysBy Nikita Biryukov, June 03 2021 7:34 pm State Sen. Sandra Cunningham’s (D-Jersey City) summons for driving under the influence isn’t impacting her prospects of succeeding Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck) as Senate majority leader, Senate President Steve Sweeney said Thursday. “She takes on the issues that aren’t sexy. She takes on the tough ones, so I’m standing with her,” he said during a press gaggle following the day’s voting session. “She’ll have a day in court, but I believe in her.” Cunningham was involved in a collision that saw her vehicle strike three parked cars in Jersey City in March. She’s been charged with driving under the influence and entered a not-guilty plea Thursday morning. https://newjerseyglobe.com/legislature ... der-contest-sweeney-says/

Officials break ground on The View at Lincoln ParkCounty-owned dining and catering facility replaces Casino in the Park Construction on The View at Lincoln Park will begin this month after Hudson County officials broke ground on the multi-million-dollar project this week. The new dining and catering facility, on the southeastern side of Lincoln Park, replaces the former Casino in the Park which opened in 1950 and closed in 2017. Envisioned and used as a clubhouse for the tennis courts, and then a summer museum, the Casino in the Park has been used for thousands of political events and wedding celebrations. In 1963, Frank Sinatra attended his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary celebration at Casino in the Park. In 1991, the Hudson County Democratic Organization hosted then Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton. The new three-story event space will feature two banquet halls, a rooftop dining area, and a moderately priced public restaurant, according to the county. https://hudsonreporter.com/2021/05/19/ ... the-view-at-lincoln-park/

Plans to Improve Community’s Overall Health; Construction of 1st Microgrid to Ensure Continuity of Critical Operations During any Emergencies
JERSEY CITY – Mayor Steven M. Fulop announced today a new partnership with Schneider Electric to implement Jersey City’s first Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP) to reduce operational costs, improve energy resiliency, and leverage energy savings to minimize cost on urgent capital infrastructure projects. The resolutions will go before the City Council on March 23rd to move forward on this revolutionary program which will achieve ambitious sustainability goals by maximizing funding from outside sources, such as utility rebates and incentives. The plan saves taxpayers $21 million in energy and operational costs over 20 years while funding over $19 million in urgent capital needs. Under the ESIP, Jersey City will also become the first in the country to create a self-sustainable municipal microgrid utilizing the 1.23 MW solar panel array installed at DPW last year to ensure continuity of vital service operations utilizing the municipal electric vehicle (EV) fleet operations, specifically EV garbage trucks. As the first on the entire East Coast to have EV garbage trucks in our municipal fleet, the microgrid takes the City’s efforts a significant step further by proactively preparing to provide power so that operations can continue through any type of power outages and emergencies with a 100% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. https://www.insidernj.com/press-releas ... bility-resiliency-leader/
