Great website... interesting morning exploring.... smiled when I saw the Fleet Bank logo on the Home Page, a northeast banking icon from RI that bought up all sorts of local banks before the bigger fish BoA brought them.

It all comes down to money... fewer cans / fewer collections and with these solar cans even fewer collections... think it also had to do with people illegally dumping their "house or business garbage" into them. I was always curious about how those solar cans came to be in Jersey City... they suddenly popped up on my street, was it a bid or no bid contract? how are they maintained etc.......

" Wilson, a resident of Union Street, is a proponent of assigning more cops to foot patrol and make them talk to people, arguing that developing relationships with local residents is the best way to develop leads and thwart crime. He said a number of gangs have a presence in Jersey City, including MS13, the Latin Kings and some white supremacist groups."
Bloods, Crips, MS13 and Latin Kings are all named... I like to know more about the white supremacist groups? Who are they, where are they and what activities are they up to in Jersey City.

If there is one phrase that seems to be the 2013 democrat mantra when they are caught in a scandal/screwup it is the ending of Weiner's statement today....
"As my wife and I have said, we are focused on moving forward." That is Jay Carney's favorite quote every time something bad "leaks" out from WH. Don't dwell on the latest scandal, just move forward because there is nothing to look at... Fast&Furious, IRS,NSA,Bengahzi,Affordable Healthcare Act, Persecution of US Citizens, Middle East debacle, unemployment; neglecting inner city murder rates and I could go on longer... My favorite quote from Marx (Groucho) "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

That was exactly my question... so at some point as we look forward, he will be collecting a Jersey City pension on $110000 salary, along with whatever he qualified for in other pension plans... curious if he is vested immediately or needs to wait a certain amount of time?

A lot of reading involved the The Record's investigative report on the rise and downfall of McGreevy. it is an amazing, but very disturbing story on the influence money and power have on the NJ political scene. One thing that hasn't changed are the public relations attempts to spin a bad ideas into a good ideas that will benefit the citizens. I have another question regarding the McGreevy compensation package... does this new position mean that McGreevy maybe collecting another pension check in the future?

LOL TOO FUNNY, If you google the first name (Publisher) on the Observer Masthead it will make you laugh out loud, then read his Wikipedia Bio. The publisher's last name is prominent in that Yvonne document (unsourced) as part of a family of NJ democrat influence peddlers... If the Wicki Bio (unsourced) is 50% accurate, especially with political contributions and the Yvonne document is 50% accurate it certainly would disqualify that journal as an independent opinion of McGreevy's rehabilitation. And let's not start a discussion of how editorial board opinions are independent of the Publisher/Owner... ethics have been lacking in media for years!

MarieElizabeth, If I were to describe the residents of any neighborhood in JC as Crackheads /Meth Fiends / Gangstas / Pimps etc.... and then ask the good citizens of that community to " ignore what I said if you are not one", I would expect one of them just might be offended and challenge my comment. Last night, when you described downtown as a racist segregationist community, I took offense. That is the only reason I responded back because that post was ridiculous... Good luck pursuing your case, I hope you make lots of money when it goes to trial.

This was a nice read... did not know he didn't make the cut, though I held the same suspicions when I said the Episcopal Church must not pay as well as Jersey City. Not sure about the other document but when it opened with Lesniak, I thought of him immediately as a key figure in this appt.

Well... Maria Elizabeth has not been heard from today... the whole story sounded so phony... blame the Latino, blame the police, blame downtown people. If she was being assaulted on JFK Blvd, at 5:30 rush hour, why didn't she just scream for help, then she follows him back to Journal Square and could not find one cop/car anywhere??? Or go into a store to ask for help? And with the killings/assaults going on in JC, I find it hard to believe that any cop responding to an sexual assault call would get out of his car, one hand holding a D&D Collatta... both hands would be free. I am sure she slept it off and probably doesn't even remember her pwd.

Considering MariaElizabeth just joined this forum @ 22:54 tonight you seem to know a lot about the people on here. I suggest you put the glass down and go to bed. You can call your city council person after you have a cup of tea in the morning. Hope this advice helps you sleep. Good Night

Stop and Frisk is another tactic to keep guns off the street... police know the bad actors already... they may carry them now, but hopefully they will think twice before they carry them outside with a S&F policy in place. So if a guy walking around in a hoodie on the hottest day of the year looks suspicious, they can stop and talk with him. It could prevent another religious building being shot up!

I really hope that is not the case, but, the city will need state/federal help... the state democrat political machine needs to curb the "new reform" mayor from JC because you wouldn't other parts of the state to follow the lead of Jersey City voters. It's going to be interesting, lets see how the mayor monitors his administration.

I hate it when people use phrases like "top quality talent at a discount"... if someone is that good, why discount your services? And save the "wants serve the public" quotes. He has been there and it didn't produce much. By all measures, that is a damn good salary compared to many Jersey City residents. How many other people were considered for the job? What is the current salary with benefits and how does that compare to similar positions in other cities? And based on the fact that bribes / pay-to-play is considered a cost to doing business in New Jersey, it is usually the taxpayer that gets screwed.

No, I believe during his resignation when he honorably resigned because he is a "Gay American" (as opposed to a corrupt NJ Public Official who happens to be gay) it came out either from his State Police Protection or the divorce of his second wife that he would leave the free public housing provided to select government officials in the middle of the night to cruise the NJ Turnpike. I guess the Episcopal Church doesn't pay as well as Jersey City for Divinity School Graduates.

I guess you would have to ask about the personal rights of the 1/2 dozen people who have died on or near Grand Street over the last 10 years... most recently the poor woman on the bike... don't think they ever caught the killer of the woman crossing Grand Street by JCMC a few years ago... or the cab that was destroyed @ Grand/Marin... most involved alcohol.

The corruption thing is correct, I do not remember details but the gay thing was a red herring to protect him. There was all sorts of bad stuff coming about him and his administration. Typical political move to distract media story.
