We need to know our history so we are not doomed to repeat it!!!

The real damage done by McCann was when he transferred the JC Pension fund's waterfront property from the pension fund itself which was worth approximately 500,000.00 per acre to the JC Revelopement agency, (three weeks after he was voted out of office), and then in the middle of the night sold the 44 acres to Peter Mocco for $10,000.00 per acre or @ $440,000.00. Harold Ruvoldt Sr. was the lawyer of this transaction.

Harold Ruvoldt Jr. was granted the development rights for the "Newport Mall" via the "Glimcher Corp." had all developmental rights for our waterfront development transacted on a single sheet of paper. I was there for the meeting.

One year later Mr. Mocco borrowed approximately $25 million dollars on the same property less than a year later.

Shortly afterward PSE&G bought our congressman's property for the electrical plant on Grand Street for about a million dollars an acre.

These were in good economic times as Reagan gave J.C.$40 million dollars for the development of the waterfront property.

Hopefully in today's difficult market, Fulop can act intelligently as a true businessman and political leader by properly using the city's remaining resources to benefit all the citizen's of J.C. Not just the individuals invited to the "dinner of eight"

What if Fulop does exactly what he has represented during his campaign.

What if he decides to truly represent the the Jersey Citizens instead of the rich just continuing to amass greater fortunes through the blatant theft of valuable resources, i.e. location, water, giving away our sewerage (we actually pay more, and subsidize North Bergen homeowners) thanks to the last administration and the HCDO cronies. Whose jobs are already in place.

If he does represent the people, he will do what our other leaders have promised, but rejected when elected.

Fulop has already accomplished something we could not have imagined, although a small percentage of the voters came out, they were informed and committed to change.
Hopefully this will be irreversible.

We all need to pull together and hope that we finally have the reformer we have waited for over 100 years.

Good luck to Mr. Fulop, and all of us, we all deserve it.

As far as I've seen for @ 45 years, nobody keeps a list or really cares.

I've seen them pave roads and then dig up a few years later for sewer lines, cable, water, handicapped corners and access.

Hopefully with the new administration with new direction and intelligence, As I've always said O'Dea does more in a day than most politicians do in a month.

With Fulop having unfettered control of the city hopefully, it will be used for the good of our city. Get rid of the phonies who have sucked off our city for the last decade. Investigate and audit all agencies. Cut waste and provide relief for the already overburdened Jersey Citizens.

Investigate why we have crippling water and sewer bills while we are forced to artificially subsidize people who buy our water through United Water. This is anti-family and anti-democratic. Why did we give away our sewerage capacity to North Bergen while we pay more than they do.

Why did the past administration sell us out while the MUA Director sucked down over $200,000.00 a year in back scratching, smoke filled room deals/contracts. While we paid for their swap contracts with Booker's Newark Cronies.
See what happened when United Water tried to take Newark over. At least he had the brains not to let them steal their valuable natural resources amass huge profits while increasing fees for those that don't know and or can't afford it.
No wonder there was no effort on his part to help the residents of JC, in the form of emergency services during sandy as Connors and McCann, purposely let us suffer while their concern
was to protect their personal fortunes. The people will see the truth. DUMP MUA, JCIA, PARKING AUTHORITY

I must ask you what part of the statement is untrue. She didn't even live here. She was not involved in many actions for the good of the home owning citizens.

Under her stewardship she voted for Vega as a loyalist endorsing corruption, as we all know that the abatements were for sale to the rich and paid for by our high taxes.

Maybe you take umbrage with McCann's comments he sold 44 acres of JC waterfront property (owned by the pension fund) for $10,000.00 per acre to Mocco. Mocco's personal check bounced. 2 years later it was assessed for over 1 million dollars per acre, while the pension fund of the true hard working J.C. workers was decimated.

Please let me know where I am wrong, I will give you the dates and articles run in the Jersey Journal when they were still properly staffed to do proper investigative reporting.

I am a Fulop supporter, I am very optimistic about our cities future with Fulop as our steward. Yet the truth is the truth she was just like the Democratic club we voted out. Her husband was a councilman with Mccann.

She was a dependable Healy/Gaughan vote who aided and abetted the corruption that existed in our city for the last four years.

Now she looks to bring the likes of McCann who also plundered our city. in too many ways to mention.

His character is best displayed by his loss as mayor of JC': the urinating on the carpets in Jersey Cities Mayoral and secreteries offices, the "poop left in the desk that was found once they got the crazy glued office doors opened, and the desks locks were pried opened. If these are the selections brought into we have little hope.

Our city has been since the first mayor of J.C. plundered from the outsiders of JC for themselves at our expense as our valuable assets are stolen for the benefit of a few. Just as any war will plunder a countries assets only no guns are needed uinder our Democratic system.

Mayor McCann (convicted felon who plundered our city like the Vikings plundered the monasteries, and the city pension funds,
always said the goal is to undercut your opponents, grabbing their base ala: Sean Connors and Ben Lopez's wife,

The goal is to win with the dumbest people you can find, so you control the council as we have The Faulkner Act, (form of Govt). Sort of the balance between Congress/Senate and Mayor.

The more self serving and dumb enough not to set personal, higher aspirations were the basis of the Machiaveli approach he used to run our city.l

Actually Nidia Lopez served an important function for the citizen's of Jersey City, N.J. We learned that taxes are much lower in Fla., She served as an impetus and driving force for Steve Fulop, (whom I have Hopeful expectations of to help our great city.

It was Ms. Lopez's abuse of the city vehicles going to fundraisers and personal functions that inspired Mayor -elect Fulop to demand J.C. logo's to be placed on all city vehicles, after her car was vandalized at one of these functions.

If we don't get sold out to the Hudson County Dems as our new leaders seek do nothing high paying jobs for themselves and family members. Hope Springs Eternal.
