Steve- I got your back. I'll register and sign the petetion. I know I'm only one guy but it onlt takes one to get it started.

Matsikoudis is such a snake. I've personally met him and he's such a sneaky bastard.

BS
Everybody complains at how corrupt JC/Hudson cty is and somebody who actually is trying and in position to make a change gets shot down so quickly (what a coincidence that they dug that up so quickly).
way to listen to the people!

Healy's for sale. There's no surprise he's squirming about the prospect of more transparent campaign financing (the only supportive quotes on him in any of the articles I read last summer about his drunk and disorderly arrest came from developers - think that one through).

What is worth noting is that he's paying some serious attention to these referendums - this cabal of corrupt City Hall parasites (the Floods, the remaining municipal judges, et al) are not going down without a fight - if you want change (sorry to nag), please go to:

and volunteer...

I think that Healy is a person that made Jersey City public not just to outsiders, but to Jersey City people aswell.

When Cunnigham was arround, I did not know anything about this city. No plans, no ideas, speaches. Nothing

Its changed with Healy. BTW, he is the one who i think organized the Mayors Against Guns program.

Justiceiro's theories were also about how people who would go for citizenship came here for freedom. If Gina's take is correct (world is perfectible and you only need to do something), than most of those guys should do something in their own countries. :)
Anyway back to the Hoboken topic, what kind of ward is that? more like West Side or like Downtown?

Clearly this it the case. Perhaps you should consider this before commenting on the merits of a popular local political figure. And if you can't figure out why the Downtown JC councilman is often discussed on Downtown JCList, I can't help you.

He left out the part about them not having to show up for the other job.People don't realize that a mayor from North Bergen can have more influence over our council then we do.How?

lets say north bergen wants to hook into our sewer system
(which they have) and lets say they only want to pay 8 million
for but its really worth 25 million.Since the mayor of North Bergen is Running the County Govt.He can put Pressure on our
councilmen to get this scheme approved.He holds their paychecks in his hand.Six of the nine are on the county payroll.

Steve has felt this way at least since his campaign for councilman so to call this "grandstanding" for a potential mayoral run is nothing but hot air coming from people scared of losing their cushy positions (and their votes against this proposal won't be "transparent", either!)

Is the farmer at VVP have local stuff? I am going to try to support locally grown farmer markets as much as possible. Any little thing that I can do to help is better then sitting on my ass doing nothing.

Gina

He is from Robbinsville NJ and the majority of his produce is local.

We are also trying to get an organic farm to join the market. I contacted Old Hook Farms that sells in Hoboken but they are booked for the season. If anyone knows of others, please PM me and I?ll give them a call. Thanks.

Wow, I guess that fledgling hawk I saw a couple of winters ago wasn't so rare after all

You know these birds are almost as big as an eagle full grown, and I suspect they'll eat anything smaller than them - mice, rats, cats & even small dogs on their own.

If you have a outdoor cat or even small dog, I'd be careful

DeFazio said many people are unaware of a state law that requires an assailant to be charged with murder even if their victim was not the one whom they set out to harm.

This guy talks like an elected official, to hearts, not to minds. Killing people and expecting no repercussion is a sci-fi scenario, no sane person would do that. Not even the guy who pretended he shouldn't be fined because he forgot to validate the light rail ticket will pretend that he can just shoot people by mistake.

The campaign is not fit for the buses, I fail to see how can one afford a gun and not afford a car. Plainly, it's wasted money.

there's no prior record talked about. So he's a scum lesson learned, but we can't blame the city for hiring him if he had a clean record

Point taken Erin, but someone who is prepared to hit a woman in the face would have some history somewhere.

ex-girlfriends, school days etc. I'd be surprised that somewhere in his past police hadn't spoken to him about violence.

You have to admit, you would have the be the biggest dumb-ass assaulting a domestic violence counselor without previous history and thinking you could get away with it!
