Dan, why do you affiliate with right wing homophobes? Why do you affiliate with a dirty ex-cop who sold drugs to jersey city's children? Whats up with that? Do you let these people around your kids?!

Posting anonymously about Dan's children is cowardly and reprehensible. Team Osborne has sunk to a new low.

Jersey City panel tables Verizon bid to put antennas atop building

The Jersey City Historic Preservation Commission voted Monday to table an application by Verizon Wireless to place cellular antennas on a building in the Harsimus Cove Historic District.

More than a dozen residents who oppose placing the antennas on the building at 238 Fifth St. attended the meeting at City Hall and the commissioners did not appear thrilled with the proposal.

?What you are asking us to do is accept something that is seen from the street, which if it was an addition to the building, we would probably have a hard time with,? said Commissioner Stephen Gucciardo.

After Verizon?s experts were peppered with questions and residents had spoken, it was Verizon?s lawyer who asked that the proposal to place antennas on the century-old building of 43 condominium units be tabled.

Full JJ piece?.

Mighty Oz,
Most people I know- Dan included, did Sandy relief. Only Team Osborne has used it as a campaign photo op. Hurricanes are not the only issue currently facing Ward E residents. Does Ms Osborne have any other qualifications to replace Steve Fulop as Ward E Councilperson?

The fact that Candice knows about, is concerned about, and is ACTUALLY working to alleviate the flooding issue in the worst part of downtown is kind of a big one for me.

HUGE actually.

Her leadership skills and non-stop efforts in the aftermath of Sandy - HUGE.

Candice is able to understand what is critical and hit the ground running. This is why I endorse Candice.

Bikes are nice, but not if you have nowhere to live.

Just out of curiosity. Is there such a thing as tenant blacklists in NJ?

I keep hearing fellow landlords talk about it in NY, about how Tenant Fair Chance Act kinda of put a stop to it in NY (at least the selling of it).

But everytime I google search it's "new york new york new york" with no mention of NJ.

Just curious to see if such list existed or database existed in NJ? Is it a real thing?

I'm certainly not going to put anyone on it, was just curious to see if any of my previous bad tenants were on it.

The irony is that Dan has enough name recognition (and had enough respect) in Ward E that he probably didn?t need to be on any ticket whatsoever. So what was the impetus to sign up with Healy? I, for one, assume that he just wanted to put a stick in Steve Fulop?s eye. Really mature.

Jersey City election 2013: School district's state monitor working for Walker campaign
By Terrence T. McDonald/The Jersey Journal
on March 06, 2013 at 12:01 PM, updated March 06, 2013 at 12:02 PM

The controversial state monitor of the Jersey City school district confirmed yesterday she is working with the mayoral campaign of former local basketball star Jerry Walker.

Cathy Coyle, an ex-school administrator who returned to the school district last year as a state monitor, said yesterday she is working as the Walker campaign?s treasurer. Coyle said she met Walker, who runs an afterschool program for the school district, about a year ago....

Team Walker, Walker?s afterschool program, won a one-year, $176,500 contract with the school district last August, though it has worked with both the district and the city for years.

Both Coyle and Walker said they don?t think that contract represents a conflict of interest that should preclude Coyle from working with Walker?s campaign.

I can report that YESTERDAY a pre-built bridge was brought out to the vicinity of the previous bridge. I can't confirm this is the same bridge alluded to in the email you quoted, but I was wondering about the pre-fab bridge that was seen yesterday and it jives perfectly with what you were told. Could it be we get a bridge BEFORE April?? I would be impressed. Maybe another "home run" for JC...

Really amazed at this allegedly Vietnamese restaurant. But not in a good way. I am at a loss to understand why one would renovate a space to go from a pleasant space to a confused vomit of green and blue, BTW it looks worse when you can't be bothered to clean. On the subject of hygiene. Why are the wait staff so scruffy and non interested looking?
The food was basic non flavored Chinese. Appetizers came after entree? Food bland, bland, bland.
This restaurant is a bland Chinese hack job. There are too many of these in JC already....
