You can bank on that.

Officer BBB, you're killing us outsiders with suspense and anticipation! I hope you're not overselling it, hierarchical organizations are notoriously resistant to change. It's why everyone's always disappointed that a new president (or mayor) can't change everything with a wave of the hand.

Do you think there's real operational change in the wind, or just maybe getting rid of the usual nonsense: cronyism, low responsiveness, and inefficiency?

Trust me. There are major changes coming and I can't wait.
The last thing in the world I'd want to do is put something on a public forum and jeopardize this perfect storm.

There is nothing at all in this for me and I am not looking for any favors. I love doing what I do and at the risk of sounding pompous I'm good at what I do so not much will change for me. Maybe the scenery but the job will be the same.
For others things will be very different.

This whole thing is shameful, and while it sucks we're going to pay all this money, it's good to know that Fulop isn't even mayor, and the rats are already fleeing the city, knowing that the purse is going to run dry.

Any chance Fulop will put a stop to JCPD officers collecting overtime by sitting on a quite, already blocked off side street, like Princeton Avenue, protecting nothing at all? The only time I've seen police doing this for construction, underground work or road work in any other city is on a busy street. This is an obscene waste of taxpayer dollars.

I hope that when we see police officers at a construction site, they are on "paid detail" getting paid by the construction company, not by our tax dollars.

this is correct, the company pays. And they have to pay a minimum of 4 hours I think, even if it takes 20 minutes to do.

Speaking of not being visible, who has actually SEEN Nidia Lopez in the last six months? Have any of you JClisters actually seen her? Has she appeared before the public anywhere in Jersey City lately?

I can understand the police not wanting to live in town. It becomes a matter of safety for their families. One told me of someone he arrested for robbery (let's say of the sake of argument) on Monday. Thursday the officer, his wife & one of his children are on a check out line. Guess who is 2 people behind them. That is scary & some perp, so inclined, could seek retribution.

What I find most disturbing is that the Police Department's top officials are all leaving at once because their guy lost the election. It shows they never cared about the city in the first place. Their loyalty is to their paychecks, each other, and Healy, not the people they serve.

Sorry but Danforth, Richard and Garfield lightrails stations pay for police through grant monies from Homeland Security. These stations will always have police presence its not a JC thing its a federal thing.

You're telling me they paid to repair the sewers on Princeton?

If its anywhere near the lightrail station, then Yes. Homeland security treats any where near a lightrail station as a high risk area and its surroundings.

Top ten reasons fulop will not win

10. He can't get all his id thief buddies from 05 to pull off such a massive fraud

9. He will have no money because his war chest is empty after paying himself back the loans from himself to bloat it in the first place

8. Jersey city is a family city, we do not need a mayor with a first cat instead of a first lady

7. Come election day, many of his core supporters will show up to vote with out of state licemses and be refused

6. Most of steves base will get lost going to the polls because all they know are path trains.

5. People are sick and tired of fulop negative campaigning by fulops team. He came out with a platform months ago and left it to go negative. Real jc people hate that, especially from outsiders.

4. B4k involvement shows fulops real intention with out schools. Parents and boe personnel come out in force against it.

3. Downtown people know fulop stole levins ideas on pay to play.

2. Osbourse not pulling her share and internal disputes with connors and chico causing a breakdown in the end.

1. Fulop is a fraud, a phony, a republican. Jc tried that woth bret swindler and it set us back.

Back to goldman for steve

Healy for mayor

Yeah OneSkirt hopefully one of the items on Mayor Fulop’s JC “fix list” is getting decent maps of Jersey City on the “official” City of Jersey City web site. A ward map, JCPD district map, a neighborhood map would be nice for newcomers (and old-timers who are forgetting a lot..no comment).

Whenever questions about the above maps come up everyone scrambles to find them on the internet.

I recall these as “finds” ….

Jersey City Economic Development Neighborhood maps and information.
(great stuff but it needs updating)

http://www.jcedc.org/Pages/01-24neighborhoods.pdf




Ward maps. Someone from the JCI got so frustrated searching that he made a map in 2009.

http://www.jerseycityindependent.com/ ... /06/jersey-city-ward-map/



JCPD districts map. You would think it would be on the “new and improved” JCPD web site. No.

There is a nice district map in this SPU unofficial newspaper link … the peacock press. It also tells students about JC’s red zones as in places with high crime.

http://thepeacockpress.wordpress.com/ ... lice-stay-out-of-the-red/


We live in a city of 250K people and we can’t get information about it. Mayor Fulop could probably use some of those maps if he is indeed moving into BL.

JCCheerleader - At this point I'm confident you are someone closely associated with my opponent and not simply an ordinary voter who is a fan of her as a politician. Your attempt to portray yourself otherwise is disingenuous.

In the past 40 years, I've earned my reputation as a fighter with allegiance to a single group: My community. Not the city or county government. Not the HCDO. Not the political boss's that come and go.

I'm proud to be Ward C's independent voice. I dare say most voters agree with me based on the results last Tuesday where I was up against a well financed incumbent candidate on a very popular mayoral ticket. I agree with Steve Fulop on many many things, but there's a really good chance he's going to throw a lot of money into defeating me on June 11 because any mayor would rather have a rubber stamp than even the slightest risk of dissent. That's his choice to make, but I'm not the kind of person who backs down from a good fight, especially when it comes to my community.

A Jersey City woman -- intoxicated, angry and naked -- smacked a Jersey City police officer in the face early Sunday morning, authorities said.

Grace Onderdonk, 35, of Kennedy Boulevard in the Heights, was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer after cops responded to her home at 3 a.m. yesterday,
police said.





Onderdonk's boyfriend told police that she had been drinking all night and when police arrived, Onderdonk was naked and refused to put on clothes, reports said.

The 35-year-old also began screaming obscenities at the responding officers and knocking over items in her home, police said. When police tried to take Onderdonk to Jersey City Medical Center for evaluation, she became even angrier and struck an officer in the face, causing a small cut, reports
said.

When did drinking all night naked become a crime?
