The physical restoration and rehabilitation has been at a practical standstill since years ago. That is why I support the idea of bringing in a professional organization to run the place and oversee its renovation. I totally get that FOL saved the place from the wrecking ball, but they are definitely not up to the task of seeing through the effort of restoring the place to its former grandeur.

Well, now. What do we have here? Take a look at the post counts of those who are trashing Candice.

rcjcinsider (OP) - 4
earthling - 24
Bahlofsky - 5
tinydancer116 - 13

Hmm, some would say that it is particularly strange that all of these new posters came out of the woodwork to unite on this one particular issue eh? It almost seems intentional. :)

Try to be more discrete next time, guys. It's painfully transparent.

kandi runs on dismal record, a few point it out in a large city jc is, and conspiracy theory is born.

is she stupid or no, after all? i mean our kandi, not the tv one.

Your misogyny is palpable. If you want to criticize the councilwoman on her record, do so. But your continued personal attacks are offensive - and more of a reflection on you (and the candidates you support) than her.

she failed as many times over. she is so stupid she is unable to argue her point. just review council meetings on youtube. she is handed over task and told fetch. case in point is her ramming no parking in front of marriott at grove path. clearly shows who her masters are.

Clearly, you're a shill for one of Candice's political opponents. It's laughably transparent.

Hmm, I wonder why your post count is so low? :)

BTW, "trangerism" is what right wing scumbags use to vilify transgenderism. Try not to show your colors.

I am only sorry for the typo, not my statements. I live in a world of facts, not feelings. You on the other hand live in a world of relativism. You have swallowed the 'kool-aid,' and believe what the culture dictates.

By the way the late actor Alexis Arquette who became a transgender women returned as Robert before he died. He did not want to die a lie.

Interesting link you provided - looking through it, I find that nobody was killed in the US during 2016 by an immigrant in a terrorist-related incident. I guess the old policies were working just fine. Thanks, Yvonne!

The point being - they would like to come here. This is about our immigration/refugee policy. The USA is not like Europe but I am sure we will be similar to Europe with our open borders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYmmt7tJres

If JC and the board of ed lose federal aid, the only right thing for our politicians to do is to give up their salaries. This should go for councilpeople, mayors, up to the US Senate. Why should homeowners bear the brunt? After all they made the statements.

You?re making this too complicated, Yvonne.

You stated very clearly that business owners should have the right to turn away certain customers on strictly religious grounds. That?s very simple to understand.

However, what you don?t seem to realize is that such a practice would apply to all business owners and every religious belief that could possibly exist. If that were the case, you, me, and everyone else would be subject to all sorts of discrimination that run counter to the values of American society.

You could also just ask an outspoken Christian conservative how he or she feels about Sharia Law. I've heard that some of them have opinions about it.

Your response Frank M is ?what if.? The ?what ifs? are happening but there are not getting any attention, I mentioned the Judge who discriminated against straight couples in performing marriages, now here is a video of another person providing a point I made earlier. He called numerous gay friendly bakeries and asked for a cake with the wording, ?Gay marriage is wrong.? And he could not get a bakery to do this. The response is - we only make cookies to using the f word. The only people being prosecuted are Christians not the Judge or the gay friendly bakeries. There is so much hyprocrisy here.

Are you just choosing to ignore facts that are not convenient for your narrow world view or is it dementia (in which case I am sorry)? As previously pointed out, the Judge you reference did NOT discriminate against straight couples, but rather refused to do ANY marriages, straight or gay. And as someone else pointed out, judges have no civil obligation to perform marriages. Now you will pivot this inconvenient fact to something else...

Frank M, you are a typical liberal. WhenI give the facts, you make personal attacks. You ignore the gay bakeries and the Judge discriminating against Christians. Well he is another one, Muslim bakeries saying no to baking a same sex cake. Why don't gay activists take them to court? They don't have the guts. This person went to Dearborn, MI

Here is the hyprocisy jcscout, same sex activists go after people of faith because they do not drink the kool-aid. There are plenty of examples of extreme on the other end and nothing happens. I am posting an article from 2012 where a judge who is lesbian stated she would not marry hetersexual couples. Nothing happens, she is not disbarred yet there are plenty of examples of bakers, florists, etc who are fined and some lose their business. Same sex activists have something in common with ISIS, they both go after Christians.

This is the reason our schools are crowded and there is a shortage of housing. It is the reason some hospitals have closed because of the medical cost are transferred to these hospitals. Nothing is free, someone is paying for the basic services of undocument immigrants. By the way, it appears this country goes after certain immigrants. I have know 3 people, 2 from Europe and one Canadian who were deported.

Jersey Journal statement on the open space tax:

"Voters should say no, though, on Jersey City Public Question No. 2, which would levy a new tax dedicated to creating a trust fund for parks and historic preservation.

The tax would amount to 2 cents per $100 of assessed value, which is not a large sum. But with a citywide property revaluation set to be completed next year, one that will change assessments for many homeowners, voters owe it to property owners to wait until the new assessments are cemented before approving a new property tax."

Can you also provide their statement on whether to move the elections?

Different forum

Good decision by the judge and not a surprise.

Yvonne should keep busy regurgitating alt-right memes and fake news until election day. Only the founder of Trump University can save the country. Go Trump!

The purpose of being a board member is to vote on contracts. I do not agree. Dr. Lyles or any supertindent should have have their contract voted on. The judge is wrong.

Yvonne (the former teacher!) also stated here not too long ago that Puerto Ricans were immigrants and refused to recognize that she was flat out wrong after being called out. Good luck getting her to acknowledge any fault on this one.

I imagine the only way she would change here is if Mayor Fulop comes out against it, then she will have to support it :) .

Show me the math that I am wrong, I never said Puerto Ricans were immigrants, why would I? When people hide behind phony names that can say anything including lies.

Whatever the reason Fulop decided to do it, can we at least agree that elephants and and other exotics do not belong in circuses where they do not receive adequate veterinary care, food, or husbandry.

So please tell, when was an elephant or giraffe spotted in JC? As I state before, these animals are born in captivity. It they don't earn their keep, they are put to sleep (fancy term for being killed.)

I don't think most people in this thread are upset Rainbow is closing. But rather by the type of place supposedly coming in and what those owners are known to bring the retail & customer element. I don't think anyone is this thread is anti-change. Just many don't like the direction its headed when there are options that would be progressive and suit more of our tastes. People are justifiably worried about the "Hoboken bro" element getting worse and continuing to affect our quality of life and enjoyment of our city. And residents not being the target demo of these new businesses.

this is a well-reasoned and pleasantly-put-forth argument. so of course it's getting shouted down.

Right?? Thanks. Smh at some of these replies.

Not sure about the others, but I'm talking about Newark ave/dtjc of about 10-12 years ago, or even 6-7 years ago (heck I even liked it in the late 90's/early 2000's). Fun and diverse stuff was happening then - more art, more diversity of people, you got to really know your neighbors because we were the ones going out and making stuff happen and going to support the businesses, bars, restaurants. People were friendly to each other and greeted each other on the sidewalks all the time. You could go bar hopping and see friends and familiar faces pretty much everywhere. Hoboken bros stayed in Hoboken. What we had was special and its depressing that the growth trend didn't continue in the vein in which it was headed because that was great and had a lot of variety to offer and potential to get even better.

I spent 17 years living there from '96-2013. As a single woman that whole time there I never felt unsafe. So glad I got out when I did as I really can't stand what's happened to an area that I really use to adore living in and going out in as recently as just 4-5 years ago. Everything is being sold out now. I don't go down there anymore because last I tried a night out there a year ago, it was such a let down. :(

Those last nine words epitomize so much that is wrong with the conservative movement and, let's face it, Rich is a conservative. Time and again we see this course taken - in education, infrastructre, guns. Progress isn't often binary, it's usually a process. It's always easy to find fault with even the best ideas - the answer isn't to throw them away because of even minor defects, it is to double your efforts to figure out how to make them work better. That's what a leader does. All I hear from Rich is an endless torrent of bitching and criticism while offering very little in terms of workable policy designed to solve problems.
