The indictment has come down.
But here's the weird thing about this per a neighbor of mine, with which I agree. Questions: Why is he NOT indicted for Speeding, Reckless Driving AND Manslaughter? Contrast this with the speed with which the authorities acted after the accident that killed the infant. It was announced by the same sheriff's department that is responsible for the same county street, the very same day, that the jitney driver "Idowu Daramola, 48, of New York, is being issued summonses for reckless driving and for using a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle, but he is being booked on the criminal offense of death by auto, a crime carrying a possible prison term of five to 10 years upon conviction, Hudson County Sheriff Frank Schillari told The Jersey Journal."

If you want to know more about this project, email Joan Pollock (details below) to be put on her email list for these updates. Here is her recent message. Next community meeting is Aug. 15. The last one was very interesting as they are planning a holistic community with shopping, education, recreation and community/public services and amenities along with mixed income housing. It would be a great chance to catch up on the plan, if you can make it. If they can accomplish even half of what they are planning (and hopefully they will exceed that), this will be a tremendous win for the city all around. Note: I cannot attach the flyer here but it basically just announces the meeting.
Hello Choice Neighborhoods Friends: Attached is a flyer advertising the next McGinley Square-Montgomery Corridor public meeting scheduled for Thursday, August 15, 2013. We will present changes to the Plan and what we?d like to add to the grant application for critical community improvements based on stakeholder ideas from the last meeting. Hope you can join us. Refreshments will be served. Best, Joan Joan Pollock Director of Development & Design Jersey City Housing Authority 400 US Highway #1 Jersey City, NJ 07306 (201) 706-4617 (201) 547-6648 (fax) jpollock@jcha.us

Did you not see the part in the article recognizing this exact point, where they said they will be rolling out an Adopt a Lot program to help improve this? I think also notifying the new Mayor's Action Bureau pointing out problem areas will also help this. I think this will have a great impact on the general litter culture here in JC. Sure, integration at the schools & PSAs will also help reinforce the message. But re-educating these kids, giving them pride in the blocks they clean/work they do, and teaching them how a culture of littering effects the morale of a neighborhood is a HUGE step forward. One of the proponents of this idea - putting youth to work cleaning up - was a young mother from the projects. She was absolutely right - these kids need constructive ways to spend their time and do work they can take pride in. People complimenting them on their job is huge for many of these kids, who maybe have never received this sort of positive reinforcement.

The meeting with JC Housing Authority last night was really interesting. If they accomplish what they showed us in the current plan, this will be a stellar example of mixed-income housing with a true community feel (supermarket, public plazza, services, etc.)

Maria, this is awful. Please CALL the Chief of Police's office at 201 547-5301 right away. This is a serious crime and it was handled incredibly poorly. The new Chief will want to know about the incident, I would hope.
Also, you can email or call the mayor directly. He will take this seriously.

I don't think the Mayor wants to increase these taxes. Its a matter of what he was left to deal with/clean up and deadlines & bills that are forcing a budget increase before there is time to complete the full departmental audit. The audit will happen and should benefit us in the long run. But to do it right takes time.

I am a Fulop supporter. But one thing you all should know - Maryanne Kelleher was greatly hindered in what she was able to achieve in her role in the last few years under Healy. Her budget was severely cut from something like $400-$500k (IIRC) down to around $150k-$95k. And her staff was severely pared down to only a few people. Arts & Culture was not a priority under Healy, so money went elsewhere. And I believe she may have been brought into the dept. by the mayor before Healy (so to assume she's a "Healy girl", like that's a dirty word, is not fair). This does not mean she wouldn't be able to succeed if given the proper resources and support going forward. It remains to be seen - give the Mayor a chance to evaluate this and other needs of that dept.
I don't know Ute. Its great what she has accomplished, from what her supporters tout. But to advocate so strongly for oneself with a "public mandate" to either create a role for herself or to oust someone who's effectiveness, or potential for great effectiveness, has not fully been reviewed leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

If you have public meetings or community association meetings, why not invite not only your Ward council person, but the 3 at-large council people? Give them all a chance to engage and help you, then see who you should continue working with on that issue.
In a few weeks, we here in Ward B are having a public meeting with a new developer to the area that is planning a large apt. building that crosses both Ward B & Ward F. So we're inviting those 2 ward council people, plus all 3 at-larges. Now, hopefully they will all make it. But even if only some make it, that's pretty good. Its a good way to get them integrated into community matters and for you all to get to know them as well. They can't attend & learn our issues if you/we don't invite and keep them informed.

For anyone who missed the inauguration yesterday, or wants to hear/see anything again, here is the film on LiveStream.
The ceremony starts around the 20 min. mark. Great job to those that did the filming and audio - very cool to have this available!! Pretty historical day for our town given the way this was done for the public and the sheer amount of dignitaries present. Go us!

Not only is getting the majority a big deal for Team Fulop, but just as important IMHO is ousting Richardson & blocking Epps. The people have finally gotten engaged to get behind some change. Let's do this!
