The multiple elections are going to happen, even though no one is thrilled by it. It's a matter of law, and no amount of complaining is going to change that in the next few weeks.
While the instant runoff is a long-term solution, requiring state legislative change, there's an easier solution close to hand. The real problem with this runoff is the poor design of the municipal election. Had it occurred a week earlier, its runoff could have been folded into the primary, which is an immovable date affecting the entire state. Moving the municipal offices from May into the November general election is the immediate solution. While it may complicate the ballot, it simplifies the electoral process, and gets greater turnout for these important local offices. It is allowed by state law, and is a relatively simple change to make. We're going to see how that works for our school board election this November - the overwhelming popular choice of voters - and should make the same change for all other city offices.

You could just as easily ? and more accurately written: ?Not seeking to work with Steve Fulop for Ward E is another lost opportunity for Levin. It clearly shows Levin's emotions and ego cripple his thinking. I hope Levin can learn from this.? Levin did not seem to learn anything from his two previous crushing electoral defeats, except the wrong lesson. Hence his deal with the dev-- I mean Mayor. You want to talk about ego issues, go read Dan?s letter. Count the ?I? ?me? and ?my? (22) as opposed to the ?we? and ?our? (8). That says something about the kind of orientation Dan has when he steps out of his role as activist and steps very uncomfortably into the shoes of someone courting power. Contrast that to Steve Fulop or Candice Osborne, who are known BOTH for being strong leaders and strong collaborators. IMO, Fulop DID choose to support the best person to succeed him in the Ward E Council seat. Dan?s not really a selfish guy. But this misguided campaign and cynical alliance with Healy reveal some of his limitations as a leader, and do not speak well for his ability to be effective in office. But this is and always has been a matter for the voters to decide.

In the 2009 Municipal election, Ward E (downtown) had 5576 voters come to the polls, 17.9% of the citywide total. Everybody knows that the foundation of Fulop's path to victory is getting a lot of votes from his downtown constituents. But there are a couple of things which make downtown voting more problematic this time. 1. Due to population growth, some downtown voting districts have been moved into Ward F. The remaining Ward E districts have new voters, and fewer registered voters, so they are "set up" for lower turnout. These new voters also have less experience with Fulop, so can be presumed to be somewhat less likely to vote for him than their neighbors who supported Fulop in past elections. 2. Ward E has many fewer voting districts than other wards. That means fewer committeepeople, local leaders who tranditionally lead get out the vote efforts in their district. That also means that each committeeperson has more people to get out that do their counterparts in other wards. On this second point, Ward E has only 23 districts compared to the next lowest number, 29 in the Heights and the highest 34 in Ward A, which will likely be Healy's strongest ward this time. Ward A has never had problems with voter turnout, and beat Ward E by nearly 1000 votes in the 2009 mayoral election. If you support Fulop, you'd better be working like heck to bring out downtown voters in large numbers. Otherwise it's going to be a long election night - or worse, a terribly short one.

Dismiss the view from WeBe's barstool at your own risk, but he's not the only person who sees a decided lack of energy from Fulop's base of support. Downtown made Fulop. Downtown could also break him. Healy and his crew did not get where they are by sitting on barstools. They work their asses off at election time so they can spend the next 3? years on the barstools.

Ah, the classic argumentum ad hominem. Attack the messenger not the message. PlainSlice is a jerk. I know it, you know it, my family's known it for years. But even jerks have political opinions. Why are we here? Because Dan felt the need to let us all know that "Dan is still Dan," in his attempt to explain his incredible switch from Healy critic and opponent to Healy running mate. What Dan - the guy who's seeking office, not some random jerk on jclist - said, is that this 180-degree U-turn was a simple matter of political expedience and would not affect his ability to function effectively as an advocate for and representative of Ward E. The post-endorsement facts say otherwise. 1. Dan has not been able to explain to most voters' satisfaction his rationale for embracing Healy. 2. Dan has been marginalized and dissed by his running mate Healy. 3. Dan has repeatedly avoided challenging Mayor Healy ON ANYTHING since he sold out. Maybe people can get by the political expediency argument - although with a leap like Dan made, you have to wonder what he would do when faced with his NEXT chance at some political opportunity. But Dan's defense of the Healy administration seems to be nothing but political and personal hypocrisy. Silence on increased Paulus Hook development. Defense of Healy's weak pay-to-play over Fulop's strong pay-to-play. Although after Dan's pretzel-twisting to defend Healy's political attacks against "newcomers," maybe I should stick to my canoe lane, and just let Dan be Dan. He's a more effective spokesman against his candidacy than a plain old slice could aspire to.

Laughing Out Loud!!! Thanks for the compliment, but I am not now nor have I ever been paid by Steve Fulop. Or Jeery Healy. Or Dan Levin, Candice Osborne, good old Fletch, or any other Jersey City pol. We disagree about Dan's character and abilities. The number #1 reason Dan is not running with Team Fulop? Dan never asked. He could swallow his scruples to go to Healy, but not his pride to talk to Steve. How do we know this? Dan and Steve have both said so. That does not bode well for Dan's future ability to play well with others. Nobody questions that about Fulop, and my post said that Fulop would work with anybody elected to the position. The question is whether Dan can grow beyond the corner he's painted himself into. You also "see Dan working on excellent initiatives" as he has in the past. Great. But we have a different understanding of what we would like to see in an elected leader. Dan's got a completion problem. He's been involved in a lot of excellent initiatives - but he's been the driving force and the hard work behind few of them, and he's had the power to finish almost none of them. You provide an excellent example of the way Dan being Dan would be fine on its own, but that Ward E would be getting less from Councilman Dan than from Councilwoman Osborne. Quote:
And I remember that Candice Osborne - working with others - organized something that did not even exist into an 800+ volunteer army that not only managed website updates, but also: fed hundreds of families, handed out and delivered flashlights, warm clothing, blankets, diapers, giftcards and God knows what else, published a daily newspaper, operated a warming center, helped people apply for FEMA and other aid, advocated for low-income tenants, helped people do mold remediation, and performed outreach all over the city. All this while her own home was flood-damaged, and she had the same pressures as did many of the people she was helping. And while Dan's running mate, "Where's Jerry" Healy was nowhere to be found. Let Dan be Dan. But let Candice be Councilwoman. I've had enough of this, too. I wish we could vote tomorrow.

Politics is only as dirty as the people who practice it and the rules they play by. Nobody here is likely to sway too many opinions on this one. And while Dan may not have gone to the "dark side" he's playing in the shadows, for sure. What's the alternative? Candice Osborne. She hasn't done a U-turn on the subject of effective leadership for Jersey City. You can't have any doubt that she has the personal fortitude to stand up to the guy at the head of her ticket. By contrast, Dan's gone silent since his "Sunday in the Park with Jerry" moment. Arguing in favor of Dan, about the best you can say of his flip flop for Healy is claiming he'll flip back if elected. But you must seriously question whether he has what it takes to stand up to power when it waves a deal in front of him. Look at some other alternatives. Healy wins - how effective do you think Dan would be? Healy already ignores him and Dan hasn't pushed back an inch against anything Healy's done, even becoming an apologist for Healy's campaign against pay-to-play reform. Or Fulop wins big and brings in most of his Council team, but Dan miraculously wins. Fulop would work with him, sure, but do you see him leading a lot of initiatives with a Fulop administration in City Hall? Or how about Fulop wins but has a split Council? Dan has shown he can't resist deals from the old pols, who would be falling all over him to swing his vote. Dark side, shmark side - it's Dan's fifty shades of gray you should be concerned about.

Abatements would make much more sense if they gave a portion to the county that was rationally related to the tax revenue that the county loses through an abatement. In other words, give the county the same kind of predictable revenue stream the developer pays and the city gets. While the Goya deal is a terrible example of public policy accomplishing nothing other than driving government revenue down (to the disadvantage of other taxpayers), it is hard to stomach Secaucus' complaints. They kick and scream about tax-sharing through the Meadowlands Commission, yet they are the biggest beneficiary of the state's Meadowlands policy. Secaucus has a great tax base, which it has developed because other municipalities protected wetlands. If there was MORE revenue sharing rather than less, towns would be less tempted to poach ratables from one another in a race to the bottom.

Now we get to see Healy's full plan for fundraising.
Plan A - hit up developers and city contractors for donations. OOPS! Fulop's pay-to-play laws make that illegal. Plan B - shakedown city workers for contributions, and reward some of them with raises, promotions, and increased pensions. Looks like the Jersey Journal caught them on that one. Plan C - do an end run around the law and illegally use political action committees to get unlimited money from secret donors. OOPS! Fulop caught them at that one. Plan D - just use taxpayer money to print your literature and do your mailings. I'm sure there's a Plan E we haven't heard of yet. Maybe tap Dan Levin for extra cash. And don't forget Plan F for FAILURE - Solomon Dwek's money is still funding Healy's campaign, despite Healy's promises to give the money to charity.

@HHend, you misunderstand MightyOz's point, which is that Dan's supporters are all over the map. Maybe that's because Dan's message is also incoherent.
"I'm for good government - and for Jerry Healy." "I can get things done - I just can't tell you what." "Fulop's the bad guy - I can't exactly tell you how, but just ask the Illuminati." If your candidate was on point, you would be to.

We can agree on that. While JTaylor, a Dan-fan, focuses on the candidates' style (dissing the the woman as "goofy" rather than passionate or enthusiastic) he (and we can be sure that JTaylor is a "he") ignores matters of substance. I think we can agree that both candidates love Jersey City. But there was one clear difference. When asked "do downtown residents get good value for their taxes?" Candice Osborne answered NO, and Dan gave a long, rambling yes. It's not hard to think that this answer might have something to do with an "evolution" in Dan's thinking since he started courting Jerramiah Healy's endorsement. Where Dan used to be known for asking why the city was stupidly run, poorly administered, and wasted tax dollars on cronyism (all charges he's made about Mayor Healy), all of a sudden we're getting great value for our tax dollars. How did the administration make such progress in the last year? Yes, there is a clear contrast. Candice Osborne is able to think clearly about the city's problems, talk straight about them, and has the energy and skills to make some headway on them.

The Beacon is a pretty good symbol for the reality of the Jersey City as it is. It's not failed. It will get re-developed. It will take a lot longer than expected. And it has not delivered on its promises - for the developer, for its original owners, for its neighborhood. They're great buildings. George did a fine job with certain parts of the restoration, and in carrying out part of his vision, financial realities notwithstanding. There are a couple of failures in my opinion. I don't care for the gated nature of the project. You get how Newport has worked that way. But this takes historic buildings in a great neighborhood location and purposely walls itself off, except for the shuttle bus corridor to downtown and the PATH. The developers designed against the promise of revitalizing the neighborhood. A better vision could have opened the property up to the neighborhood in a different way. The second failure, which I won't put on the Beacon, is how low our sights have fallen. When built, it was not a vision of luxury residences for NY commuters and global business trekkers. It was a vision of accessible medical care for the community. Now we're fighting over scraps between hospitals struggling to survive while seeing revenue streams that are beyond belief. Would that someone could today have a vision for community transformation on the same grand scale. Stepping off my soapbox to point back to McGinley Square. A lot needs to happen for the neighborhood to upgrade. There's stuff on the horizon - but it's the far horizon.

Now for the editorial comment. Today the story is that it was a "clerical error" by the person organizing the fundraiser.
But that story doesn't quite add up. First, the invitation had the "Paid for by Team Healy" legend on it. Do you really outsource that? Second, it is completely unbelievable that Team Healy wouldn't know that the fundraiser was a joint production with the recently-formed PAC run by Rich Torraco, who just happens to work for the Senator who just happened to endorse Healy THIS WEEK. And third, this PAC just happens to have the ability to receive unlimited donations from undisclosed donors. And purely coincidentally, the invitation just happened to highlight that donations to the PAC are an end run around the pay-to-play laws that Fulop championed and that Healy hates. Here's a question for Mr. Healy and his spokesrobot Henne: just how much money did you have to return? And another: how can we trust you to be honest when you're already caught cheating? And another: when are you going to return the Solomon Dwek bribe money you also promised to return 3 years ago but never did?

Healy will return the money about the time hell freezes over. He's still sitting on Solomon Dwek cash.
By the time the Election Law Enforcement Commission gets the complaint, thinks about it, and eventually decides to not do anything about it, the new Mayor will have been long-sworn.

Probably not. Are gang and narcotics units able to effectively respond to neighborhood issues? Probably not. Are there a lot of uniformed officers and detectives really doing clerical/admin jobs? You bet there are. The clearest win in Fulop's policing plan is to give more authority and accountability to district commands. They should have the freedom to deploy their force to best meet the needs of their district. And then be accountable for success or failure. Fulop's plan respects professional policing by letting the department be more responsive to neighborhood needs. It allows officers close to the action have more decision-making authority. In contrast to the current structure, which is overly bureaucratic, overly-centralized in a chief's office which can be a bottleneck in effective decision-making and cannot be very responsive to local issues. This would allow individual commands to make the call about how important curfew enforcement is.

OK, the Healy campaign is clearly incompetent from the top of the ticket down to spokespoultry Henney Penney.
And they're also desperate for money so they'll cut any corners they think they can. But what amazes me is that they would put in print, as a selling point, the fact that you can avoid Fulop's pay to play laws by writing your check to their "partner," so that when they steer city money your way it's all legal. Corruption, BTW, is the term that used to be applied to what happens to a dead body as it rots and crumbles to pieces. This message paid for by Team Healy.
