I doubt if Historic Preservation will see it that way. Then again, it will probably go the same way as Home Depot and the Planning Board. The board will say no, the developer will sue and maybe win. All that really matters is the city's lawsuit to prove Conrail was wrong in not offering to the city first. Actually, all that really matters is whether the city will have the money to buy it, if the ruling goes its way.

This should come as no surprise, since this commission was formed during, and included members of the Cunningham administration, which STILL ranks as the most inept, self-aggrandizing bunch of clowns to ever inhabit city hall. Soup pigeons, anyone?

According to politicsnj, if anything, it was Hillary playing politics. http://www.politicsnj.com/clinton-nix ... s-rival-jersey-city-10611 Will Fulop be at any the Obama rallies? And with Harvey, Sandy, Jerry, and Steve in the Mayor's race, it's never too early to start campaigning. If you think Fulop's not, you're crazy.

Not "were"..."are". And will always be. I don't agree with the councilman on much, but he was absolutely right endorsing Manzo. Lou is crazy, but Sandy is unqualified and dangerous. She'll breeze into the state senate, contribute nothing, and use that office to run for Mayor. Her goals are simple - gain power and punish those "responsible" for Glenn's death. How you punish 50 years of cheeseburgers is beyond me, so she'll set her sights on other targets, like her running mate, Harvey Smith, her "godfathers" Healy and Degise, and anyone her handlers don't like or they need to remove to make room for cronies. The getnj message board is filled with posts about Bobby Jackson's son. Imagine that x 10. Another Cunningham in City Hall would be an incredible disaster for Jersey City. You think our "pay to play" situation sucks now...you ain't seen nothing yet.

Here's what Glenn Cunningham did. He accepted organizational, political, and monetary support from Bob Menendez in order to get elected Mayor. Then, at the urging of his handlers (Bobby Jackson, Joe Cardwell, Eugene Drayton, and Sandy), he embarked on a naked power grab for all of Hudson County, even stooping to call Menendez a "terrorist" after 9/11. His administration was perhaps the worst in Jersey City history. Peas in a pod.

Before nominating DeFazio for sainthood and condeming the council to hell - here's another perspective:
http://cms.firehouse.com/web/online/N ... -Time-Questioned/46$54819 According to this, DeFazio gave limited immunity to 8 cops, and based on evidence provided, the US Attorney's office declined to act. So what would a council committee hope to discover or accomplish?

Don't be so naive. If Fulop expects to run for Mayor or even for Council At-large (the usual stepping stone to Mayor), he's going to need a machine of his own. And yes, he's going to have to make some deals with some scumbag politicians and political players to build that machine. And he's going to owe those people if he wins. Look at Sharpe's former slate-mates who ran with Booker. Idealism gets you into heaven, but not into the Mayor's chair.

That's just politics. You can't blame politicians (scorpions) for being politicians (scorpions). Even a "good" or "reform" administration would do the same to improve its chances (although I have to say I'm disappointed in Cory Booker...scorpion). The real problem is an uneducated, unmotivated electorate that doesn't (or simply can't) take time to understand the issues, or votes the same old way out of "tradition" or habit or some other narrow self-interest. You can't fight demographics, but sometimes you can outlast them. Cunningham will be exposed for the weak link she is as she's handled by her "advisors". But if she becomes an embarassment or a threat to the machine, she'll be jettisoned next time around. I imagine tomorrow starts the "Manzo for Mayor 2009" campaign.

Gerry fcuked his business partners. Sandy's associate fcuked a 13 y.o. girl. I'd say the scumbaggery on both sides balances out. So, let's talk about qualifications. Manzo's an assemblyman with actual experience and achievements. Sandy's a politician's widow being handled by experts who need to pander to black voters. Manzo's a nut - no doubt about it, but is Sandy's refusal to debate him because "she can't stand to be in the same room with him" any less nutty? Besides, two men she banned from Glenn's funeral and all but accused of killing him - Tom DeGise and Harvey Smith are now her running mates. She kind of loses the "plays well with others" match up. And, bottom line, that's what legislative bodies are all about - working together, compromising, moving mutually acceptable agenda forward. Her "I don't wanna, I don't hafta" hissy fits show her to be unsuitable for the state senate. On the other hand, once she's installed as a loyal democrat senator, and once the dual office ban goes into effect, she won't be able to run for Mayor.... uh, Vote Sandy!!!!

Aside from the felons, ex-felons, and soon-to-be-felons, this is already a crazy campaign. Sandy Cunningham, who all but blamed the HCDO for her husband's death and banned Tom DeGise and Harvey Smith from his funeral, is now their poster girl. Even stranger, Roger Jones, her spokesperson, was the guy who ran the "kindler, gentler Gerry McCann" campaign that got him elected Mayor in 1989. Even Bob Janiszewski [sp] must be laughing at this one.

There have been worse councils and councilpeople. Consider those who gave away the most valuable remaining real estate on the east coast to build truly ugly housing and a 2nd rate mall. The problem with alienating his peers is that his ward may pay the price. He wasn't elected to carry on his own personal crusade for justice and righteousness, but to represent his ward and get our share of city services. While he may enjoy his "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" loner status, being part of a legislative body involves working with others. If he can't do that, his performance suffers. Finally, say what you will about our elected representatives, but they were elected by majorities in each ward and citywide. The problem is not what's wrong with municipal government, but what's wrong with citizen participation that this is the best we get. Downtown elected Fulop, if the other wards can't or won't follow suit, you're fighting demographics.

So now what?
Clearly a misstep by the councilman. But can he backtrack based on the outrage expressed here or will that make him look like the dreaded "flipflopper"? One thing he can't go back on is the complete and total alienation from his colleagues on the council. Can any amount of explaining make this seem like it wasn't aimed at Willie Flood? Say what you like about your fellow politicians, but I thought families were off limits. Callous at best, but his effectiveness as a legislator has to take a hit. Oh, he'll still be a responsive councilman, returning calls, getting trash cans in the park and benches in the dog runs, but it's doubtful that any of his large scale initiatives will gain any traction over the next 2 years. And his fault or not, that's a tough record to run on. So, of course it will be defeated at the council meeting, no need to turn up with signs for or against. I think even Richardson will have a hard time supporting this one, and she was a cop. And unlike the pay to play ordinance, this won't get played up and become a rallying cry for reform. Wait, did that happen yet? I mean, besides here? Jersey City politics, always fun to watch.

It would be different if they tried to do the work unpermitted in the dead of night. I'm more troubled by this quote: "You have neighbors who invested in properties and have been stewards of the block for 50 years," Burke said. "Then a newcomer comes along and the city blesses them . And that's where the problem lies. The dreaded "newcomers" with them funny soundin' names. They don't belong here.
