Tell me again how the ?developer? candidate is being outspent by the ?independent?? I received another mailer today from Solomon, and quite frankly, I?m annoyed.

Why go negative? He has a lot to say about Symes and Grillo - and truthfully, why aren?t we asking any questions about him?

Solomon lives the life of a 1%er. And - HE HAS REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY MONEY. The same money he bitches about Symes having.

Grillo?s Sweetheart deal? Solomon is the only one in this race with a sweetheart deal. He gets to play politics and work as a part time professor, while he calls in favors from these liberal elitists around the country.

There is almost NO contribution from Jersey City coming in for Solomon. Why is this?

How can James Solomon claim independence when he too has big money interests from the real estate and energy industries?

In Hudson County, the best candidates are always unemployed, and under or uneducated (Danny rivera, Chico, any Hudson County state legislator or freeholder). Fortunately for Solomon, he only meets 1/2 those requirements.

Let's not pretend that Symes did anything Mayor Fulop and Bill Matsikoudis haven't done themselves already. Sponsored content is BS paid media. Every major publication is now doing it, including NY Times.

Fulop even uses an image suggesting it's some official FBI document to cherry-pick his crime stats.

And read the article, it wasn't $2000 for a 'tweet', it appears there was more consulting and other work done.

It?s not a pile-on, it?s a legitimate question. How is it fair to attack one candidate?s professional background, and then have no answers for his own? Solomon loaned himself $25k according to press reports, and has all his money raised from outside Jersey City. he appears to have his own wealth (which is fine), but why can?t we ask a a simple question about how he earns his money?

Seems like an unfair bias to me.

I?ve looked up Solomon in federal and NJ state employee databases. Past and present. I can only find that that he?s at Hudson County College, but never worked for Booker. Is he lying about his resume? What gives?

Every candidate in ward E has laid out their professional resume, however Solomon doesn?t provide many details other than he worked for Cory Booker and the Mayor of Boston. How long was he there? Was he in a drector?s position or some sort of leadership role?

He?s an adjunct professor now, but I?m concerned he has no actual real world experience.

Can we stop pretending that Dixon is the only RE company that?s contributing to the unaffordability of Jersey City? I get it, some of you aren?t fans of Rebecca, but don?t pretend her former employer is the real reason you don?t like her...What about any number of actual DEVELOPERS that are building hundreds of LUXURY apartments and getting taxpayer relief to do it?

Steven Fulop?s pick in this election is really Grillo, who wants to pretend he?s anti development just to get elected. Or What about Steven Fulop?s former ward leader turning sides? Or does Ward E really want some over-entitled rich kid who has his family bankrolling his campaign (Solomon)?

Jersey City school board VP owes $25k in unpaid bills

I have more questions than answers...how is this possible? It looks like he's been paying himself and screwing his attorneys. How does someone raise only $15k but still has $40k in debts for a campaign to hold an unpaid position?

How was this guy ever endorsed or supported?

What does it really say about the Fulop Adminiatration when one patronage hire accounts for nearly a 4x daily increase in filling potholes??? I laughed my ass off when I read this article...not because this is business as usual in Jersey City, but because this guy had the audacity to say this:

Curtis said he is making sure potholes are filled, catch basins are cleaned out and street signs are in good condition. He told The Jersey Journal the DPW has gone from filling 22 potholes to as many as 99 a day now that he's been hired. Previously the DPW crews were cleaning out six blocks' worth of catch basins a day and now they're doing a whole ward in three days, Curtis said.

I sure hope they finish the JSQ project. It would be a shame if we ended up like Perth Amboy. And with a relationship like this....do you ever think his buddy would face any consequences in JC?




A group of about 32 condo owners at the Landings at Harborside have brought a civil lawsuit against Kushner Companies, it's subsidiary Westminster Company and a long list of subcontractors in connection with their claims of being misled into buying high-priced units with luxury amenities that have not been materialized as promised. Many of the condo units were purchased in 2004.

Jared Kushner, who is Trump's son-in-law, ran the company before becoming one of the president's senior advisers. Court papers indicated he officially began running the company in 2008.

Christine has been such an amazing advocate and leader for the ArtHouse. Makes me regret missing this weekend's event now as it'll be her last Snow Ball.

WIshing Meredith all the best in her new role! Excited to see what comes next for the Art House!

I read this article this morning not expecting to see Jersey City mentioned, let alone our Mayor. This definitely raises more questions about Fulop's relationships to Trump.

Some sort of "progressive" democrat Fulop is....
