@bright. read them.....still aiming low. you should go back to the drawing board.

but the idea of that park doesn't suck so don't take it the wrong way, it is a unique park that not many cities can say they have, but it is a park nonetheless. Just because it is connected to a bike & hike trail doesn't mean it will get people to come from all around to visit.

im want the embankment to stay in place but to make it into another park? i think this city is taking building a park a little too the extreme, i think we have a great number of parks with still more parks being proposed to be built. Instead can it be a botanical garden or a small zoo where animals of that size can be kept, nothing like an elephant or such, but something along those lines. i like the current plan so its not to say its sucks.

It just seems that creativity for this city is really low, and this could allow for someone to come up with a rejuvenating idea for the city and to bring people into the city to"chill" instead of having them here only becuase they are on their way to ny. and having another park wont bring people here just to "chill"

A big thank you to anyone who may have read my post and voted for me in District 6 yesterday! My running mate, Hope Cannon, and I won by a very comfortable margin and really appreciate all the support we received. Also, I know that the Democrats for Jersey City candidates from Districts 4 and 5 (we all vote at the same place) won as well.

Hoboken Councilman At-Large Rhavi Bhalla is running as an independent Democrat (off the HCDO line) in the 33rd District against Detective Connors.

Rhavi has a \"reformer\" record, worked on campaign finance reform and strong on policy and issues. He is committed to marriage equality as the leading civil rights issue right now and will continue to push it forward in NJ.

please learn more about his campaign here - http://bhallaforassembly.com/

also running in the primary election on June 7th are more than a hundred independent democratic party committee seat candidates also running off the HCDO line - many for the first time who need the support of their neighbors.

while primary elections in Hudson County usually appear to be a quid pro quo, this year you have a viable choice(s) in effort to make the local Democratic party work for local democrats.

Say what you want about the food trucks - fine - my husband is a plumber in JC and brought the subject matter up. When the guy in the food truck has to go to the bathroom where does he go? Does he leave the truck - NOT! Where does he wash his hands? He doesn't. Those trucks are disgusting with guys taking their Pee in a gatorade bottle because they can't stop if they have business and they sure as hell don't wash their hands afterwards. If you want to eat from the truck eat at "your own risk". Was it the hot dog/taco/pita/wrap/salad/hamburger that made you sick or was it the fact that the slob serving it doesn't wash his hands after doing his business that makes you sick? You tell me where he goes to do his business, does he shut his car down...doubtful...you cannot be that naieve !

Outlaw the Food Trucks

These food trucks are like roaming gypsies taking the business away from establishments.

JC residents alway whinge about there not being enough cafe, diners, pubs and bars that provide food - well guess what? The lunch time business crowds is what they rely on to pay leases, staff and yes taxes.

These premise establishments, can not rely on locals to keep them in business - we are cheap, caught in the financial struggle and always demand high expectations when we do finally go out.
[...]

I say dump the food trucks from our streets - Now ask yourself how many of these gypsies float into NY ?

Keyhole on 242 Bay at corner of Erie? That place is making a fortune! He buys cases of beer and sells at six times value, maybe more. And the place is like family for the puerto rican community downtown, usually older types, harmless in my opinion, chatting away, listening to music. Why would he sell? Take the money and do what, nothing and die. Some people just aren't programmed that way. I would not want that place to be turned into some half ass coffee and ham and cheese sandwich place. Rolon's Keyhole should be landmarked.

Please note that the voting hours are 7AM to 9PM.

The flyer from "Efficient Effective Education" incorrectly states that the hours are 9AM to 9PM:



I've heard that thousands of these flyers have been distributed with the incorrect dates.

So again - the correct times are 7Am to 9PM!

My take:

Carol Arnold Harrison - She sounds tough and intimidating. Maybe she should be superintendent instead and whip some butt. Too bad she is part of a political machine.

Susan Mack - Is that make-over show still around? Didn't hear a word she said...was struggling just looking at her. Passed her prime and time.

Marvin Adames - Seems like a nice person. Somewhat green and also part of a machine. Maybe one day?.

Is this really the quality of your supporters, Ms. Gangadin? Anonymous smears?

facials11, give me a call (201-238-5987) or email me (pbellanboy@aol.com). Let's walk through Ward F together so we can see exactly who's known in the ward. Carol's record is unimpeachable - which is precisely why you cast vague smears. How many Ward F (or any other ward) blocks have you helped revitalize? I know someone has been spreading rumors about her professional qualifications. What exactly are you "unclear" about? Just as she says, she is an attorney specializing in insurance, frequently called as an expert witness in her field.

But let's not just trade claims. Call the Office of Attorney Ethics 609-530-4008. Option 2 gives disciplinary history: admitted to bar 1988, no complaints ever filed, no disciplinary matters ever. Period. Licensing 609-292-8079 says she is an active member of the NJ Bar.

Marvin Adames devotes his volunteer time to helping kids stay out of the court system, and I'll bet he knows the Jersey City schools better than you do. I have heard him talk in substance about the JERSEY CITY schools. Although, last time I checked, our system and the Newark system look pretty similar in performance, in bloat, in budgets, in student population, and in their challenges.

In my opinion, Sue Mack is also a strong candidate because of her experience. You may not like every one of her votes, but she does have a record for responsiveness to the ordinary people of Jersey City, and she is really good at helping others navigate the byzantine labyrinths of the Board's bureaucracy.

facials11, if you want to talk about pigeons, put your own credentials out there. Whose coop do you roost in? And if you reply, have the guts to sign your real name to your attempts at character assassination.
