If you are suggesting that downtown is built out because there is a rush of new residents taking advantage of the state funded FREE pre K that won't fly. Maybe they should pay their way instead. Families will not live in a SRO (did not think these met zoning regs.)
Now as to how this happened. How about asking the former Councilman for 8 years for starters. You can also ask Council President Lavarro who has been on the JCRA board for a while. The executive director is an employee. All actions were approved by the board and redevelopment plans by the city council. How about holding your former council person accountable (for a change.) Honestly, I do not give a sh-t about this problem. If the executive director should go, so be it. Fulop is the mayor, but don't fill the position. Fulop said one of his deputy directors would work on development (to justify his high price tag.) He lied of course and hired a replacement for director of HEDC anyway. Now why can't his high paid deputy mayor do this job. What the f-ck will he do anyway? Quote:

Jersey City Board of Education Candidates for Excellence = Parents for Progress = Steve Fulop
How the hell do you make like you are endorsing your own candidates that you recruited. Bunk. No one will say why they are running? What will your candidate do to control spending? Fulop controls the board yet they still snuck through a tax increase based on false info. What will his new three candidates due? You need to clean up and be honest about who you are then ask us to support you. What will you do about out of control spending in the schools.

The pot calling the kettle black. Once the redevelopmen authority puts the property into the private hands, the plans are approved by the city council, for all of those failures Fulop should take some responsibility himself. What a croc. He should also be specific if accusing someone of ethics violations. That said I'd be happy if he does not replace Antonicello and we could save the salary but that is a big if, since he will likely replace him with his own do nothing hack. Funny how a guy that looks like he works really hard surrounds himself with the usual suspects. Quote:

Why doesnt mayor select Osborne propose congestion pricing for Jersey City? They are doing everything else locally.
That will cut down on peak traffic and raise money for tax relief.

You are right Yvonne. The Council is clueless. We gave Fulop his Council in the hopes of cutting spending, but instead it is about unchecked spending. Replacing one set of idiots with another even worse.
Still no word on the property reval. I guess if he plays Bloomberg lite with stuff like this smoking ban he thinks we will forget about it all. Banning e-cigarettes. Come on. We going to be the butt of late night tv again. Quote:

Why in god name do you need to be armed to do a security check! I can't see why the JCPD can't do it instead of giving a no bid contract out, but corruption aside this scares me, armed private contractors.

Exactly. Then if this bugs you so much why are you ok with the rest of the gang. McCann, Kenny, McKnight and who knows who else. Birds of a feather flock together. All of McGreedy's vendors and consultants are hitting town for the pickings. What about the contract that just went to Lesniak? One of the new hires in the Law Department could do the job and save us $$$$.

Good question. Fulop just hired more lawyers in the Legal Department so why can't they do it. If he can do this its colossal along with the JCIA and JCMUA. Remember though he was a trader not a manager. We got to stay on him. and pray.

We are rid of Mayor Healy. The slate does not reset clean. Fulop should distance himself from the Mcknights, McCann and such. Hopefully the worst is all out on McGreevey so Jersey City is not tarnished. I don't think it can be worse then bid rig. Is it finished? I hope so. Threatening to sue news sources also sends real warning signs. I just pray he would stick to cleaning up Jersey City and cutting the budge. We can ill afford the Healy budget to become the new normal and all of the Healy cronies ending up back in city hall.

More from JC Independent.
http://www.jerseycityindependent.com/ ... d-jc1tv-do-over-and-more/ More garbage. I don't understand wasn't Mayor McCann helping Fulop in this past election. But he is a convicted felon, so I guess logical Fulop wanted to corner the market on crooks. At least Healy cleaned house. Is the only way to be a politician in Jersey City to hang with thieves? McCann distributed to the council copies of a police report dated April 2008, in which city resident William Cortez stated that he and others were paid a total of $1,000 by someone from Fulop?s campaign to vote in several locations under several names in the 2005 election. Charges relating to the alleged fraud were never brought against Fulop or any other individual. ?I?m hoping that this type of activity doesn?t happen again,? McCann said. ?This is something that I think we need to root out of Jersey City.? And more when Fulop threaten to sue the JC Independent and put them out of business: http://www.jerseycityindependent.com/ ... appeared-then-reappeared/ God I had hoped he would be tough but honest.

holy shit, I can't believe I met this guy during the campaign but had no I idea what he did. now I saw this on JC Independent. First McGreevey now this. I heard the disgraced councilman Kenny helped Chico, but what do you expect he was double or triple dipper.
http://www.nytimes.com/1992/12/12/nyr ... r-official-sentenced.html Mark Johnson ? 3 days ago Councilwoman Coleman had this man as her campaign manager? What City job did he get and how can they let this man who was the head of this entire municipal corruption ring be allowed within 500 feet of Mayor Fulop. Someone on the Fulop Team is either DUMB, DUMB, DUMB or CORRUPT, CORRUPT, CORRUPT! Former Official Sentenced http://www.nytimes.com/1992/12/12/nyr ... r-official-sentenced.html Published: December 12, 1992 JERSEY CITY, Dec. 11? A former city human resources director was sentenced to nine years in prison today for running a welfare fraud scheme that officials called one of the state's largest municipal corruption conspiracies. Eugene McKnight, 43 years old, of Jersey City, pleaded guilty to racketeering and tampering with evidence in September. The scheme involved approving rental assistance and welfare checks ranging from $300 to thousands

Do the property reval now!
I received this response from the RRC a week and a half after asking - "Currently the city has suspended the tax reval until further notice it is the County figuring out how to proceed." Most people I know need certainty. Isn't that the reason for tax abatements. It gives developes certainty.

Come on you don't actually have to believe everything a politician says. During the campaign the mayor would give a convoluted speech about how all Jersey City property values derive from a brownstone in Paulus Hook. Delusional.
We are talking about different markets, different demographics. Go have a drink. Quote:

Thats BS. I think it used to be called voodoo economics. So then cut everbodys taxes and everybodys value goes up. We are paying higher taxes so that you can protect downtown property values. Pay your way. Taxes are to fund services not to boost your home value. Quote:

No anti-Fulop, but I am against anyone who does not spend our taxes prudently. Fulop just rubbed salt in an open and festering wound. I foolishly believed him and his crap. My bad.
If city employees need a "smart" phone then spec it out and get three bids. Don't just buy the Cadillac of smart phones and the most expensive. JC Government is not some cutting edge tech company flush with hedge fund money or sleek design firm. The staff should be able to get by with any functional smart phone. Don't try to be cool on my dime. Quote:

So you know libel law now. Someone is concerned about abatements that Councilman Fulop railed against (except for the building he is now living in) and Mayor Fulop wants to look like he is on the side of the taxpayer but is waffling and creating a policy that looks like he doing something, but does little. The 30 years tax abatements have to stop.
