That's the issue that bugs me more than anything. It's not just Jersey City that does things that way, it's all across the state and is the case in municipalities of other states too! Any job I ever worked at, you earned both sick time and vacation time. There was a limit to how much vacation time you could build up but no limit on the amount of sick time. But when you left the job, typically you'd get paid for the accrued vacation time but you got NOTHING for the sick time. That's the way it should be. But it seems like in these municipal jobs, they get to have everything both ways - use the vacation days for sick time instead, build up as many sick days as possible and use as few as you can (as you can build up a limitless amount) and then get PAID for the sick time when you quit/retire. How is that a good system at all?

There IS such a requirement in the municipal code already, Healy chose not to enforce it. I called the Corporation Counsel's office myself about it, and they said, well, we don't enforce that city ordinance because the public sector employee unions gave us a hard time about it when we were negotiating a new contract with them. I didn't think to ask at the time that the Police Chief and Fire Chief probably don't belong to any union since they are technically management, but maybe I should have. It is municipal code section 53-2: § 53-2. - Domicile as condition of employment. [Added 6-9-2010 by Ord. No. 10-078] A. All Employees, as a condition of their employment, shall maintain a bona fide domicile in the City of Jersey City during the period of their employment. Domicile means the permanent place of abode within the meaning, intent and scope of the New Jersey Statutes and court decisions governing and defining "domicile." It shall also mean the permanent abode which the Employee occupies with his or her spouse and minor children. B. All Employees shall file with the Division of Personnel an affidavit setting forth the following: (1) the address and telephone number of the Employees' bona fide domicile; and (2) the address and telephone number of the Employees' spouse and minor children. Of course, Healy is already known for being above other laws, so it would be hypocritical of him to expect his own colleagues to obey the law as well.

In this past election, it wasn't, and in any case, I don't live in Ward C, nor do I really know anyone living there, so I can't do anything about it anyway. I just don't agree with the court decision, but the court made its decision and she has every right to run. If voters in Ward C elect her in the runoff, so be it, but I would like to see her lose, for the reasons I previously mentioned. Whether Boggiano can do a better job than her, I don't know, but his residency has never been in question.

I don't know about Fulop's position on her at this point. Myself, I was only concerned with voting for Fulop for Mayor; my choices for at-large city council and my own ward I considered separately, not as part of any "team". I also don't live in Ward C either, so I couldn't have voted for or against her. While I supported Fulop as a mayoral candidate and am glad he won, I certainly don't agree with him on everything, just like any other politician.

+1 on that! Didn't she have a Florida driver's license right up until she first got elected, only to change to a New Jersey license so she could drive a city-owned car? Crappy. Also, she also claimed her property in Orlando, Florida was her primary residence so she could get a break on the property taxes there too, readily admitted that she hadn't paid any New Jersey income taxes in at least three years before the election, filed her federal return with a Florida address AND was registered to vote in both Jersey City and Orlando. You can't have it both ways Nidia. Go back to the Sunshine State. You seem to love it there more anyway. Perhaps the Orlando city council will take you. To any of her supporters, I don't care if this is all old news. It still stands as fact and I don't see how she deserves to represent Jersey City in any way. I pointed much of this all out at a city council meeting a couple years ago, and boy did she glare at me. You only have yourself to blame Nidia.

Because police in Jersey City have better things to do, like deal with violent crimes in this city. You think Jersey City is the only place where this happens? Also, if it is so important to you, why don't you report them to the police yourself? Furthermore, if all these places were raided and shut down, would you feel any safer on the streets at night? I know I wouldn't. Finally, shutting them down will only result in somebody else opening up the same kind of place a few doors down the next month. People are going to do this no matter how hard law enforcement pushes. If you reply to this, try NOT TO OVERUSE THE CAPITAL LETTERS.

Who are these people really hurting (other than themselves, maybe) and what will arresting them really do? It won't make the streets any safer. Don't tie up police resources with this nonsense, they have bigger priorities. Even if they are arrested and taken off the streets, someone else will replace them eventually. Just don't purchase their services if you don't like what they do.

Re: Top Ten Reasons to Vote for Jerramiah Healy |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Home away from home

Man - you are a trip byebyesteve. Let me dissect your reasons one by one... 10. I saw the police report you are talking about and it is based entirely on the word of one person, whose word is suspicious to begin with, and there has been no formal investigation of Steve whatsoever with this. 9. The election is almost over, money is not much of an issue now, and the last Jersey Journal article stated, according to ELEC reports, that Jerry and Steve had about $90,000 left. 8. I have no idea what this is about - whether Steve is married or not has no bearing on his ability to govern - definitely pretty stupid reasoning on you or anybody else's part - what does Healy's wife do anyway? 7. If people are properly registered to vote in New Jersey, a drivers' license is not the only form of ID one needs to show 6. Uh, okay... but the polls are open all day, people have received sample ballots and should know where to find the polls 5. Jerry Healy hasn't been negative with his campaign? Tell me - do you believe in the tooth fairy? 4. Oh, the school board matter... that's been investigated repeatedly and what has come of it? Nothing. 3. If he stole Levin's ideas, why hasn't Levin said anything about that? I've spoken to Levin myself about this and he has not claimed Fulop stole anything 2. How does this affect whether people will vote for him? 1. Fraud and swindler - talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Republican - why don't you check Steve's voter registration? How anybody could say Healy for Mayor is way beyond me. By the way, if you had started posting on this board maybe a year or so earlier and a had a lot more posts about other things, people might actually believe you were not just some shill from the Healy campaign. See you in four years - try harder next time to be more convincing. Healy is nothing more than the Marion Barry of New Jersey. He, Sharp James, Lorenzo Langford, and a few other disgraced New Jersey politicians should do a circle jerk together. Quote:

Naked photos or not, the guy is a grandfather. It's time to hang it up, cash out all that accumulated sick and vacation leave, collect the boat check, enjoy the monthly pension which we all pay for and head off down the shore into political exile. There are a lot of great golf games to be played too.
No lobbying firm would want him, this city shouldn't want him anymore (nor did many of us "interlopers" as he calls us, ever want him) and he could have a very pleasant retirement. Out with the old, in with the new!

Here's a picture of a taxpayer-supported police car, smack daub in front of Jerry Healy's campaign headquarters. Must be nice he has that kind of security for his place. Nobody was actually there when I walked by, and notice how there is space both in front of and behind the car, so I don't think it's a coincidence the car was parked there. Before anybody says - "he's the mayor, he needs security" - nobody was there at the time, and in my professional opinion, police cars should guard city hall when he's working, not the privately-funded campaign headquarters. I have not seen any similar protection for the other candidates at their campaign offices, but if anyone else has, they can post pictures of that too.

General question for anybody who can give an informed opinion - has Healy been acting this way at the debates because he is realizing how poor his chances of winning have become and is taking it out on the audience OR is he so confident of winning this election and takes the majority vote he thinks he's going to get for granted? I attended a debate during the 2009 mayoral election and back then he just seemed aloof and too good to be on stage with the other four challengers, because he knew he was going to win, I think.

Well, given the likelihood that people from the Healy campaign probably monitor this forum and if these flyers actually exist, then there's a good chance that some of the campaign volunteers are up in the Heights right now trying to get rid of them. If the flyers ever got printed in the mainstream press, it would likely harm the campaign, whether or not these flyers were officially sanctioned by Healy. Still, if anyone runs across one of these alleged flyers, please post!

I would love to see a copy of this flier as well. If this is a smear campaign that is unofficially sanctioned by Healy's people, aimed at reaching people who don't ordinarily pay attention to the mainstream press, then people who regularly read newspapers and Internet should see it as well. Besides the HRC, this flier should be faxed over to Jersey City Independent, Jersey Journal and the Star Ledger, because I'm sure it would be rather newsworthy. This attempted smear could totally backfire against Healy, if there's any truth to this.
On a *somewhat* related note, there is an enthusiastic Healy supporter that posts under the id "phoneyfullop" on www.nj.com in the comments section of every story that concerns this mayoral election and/or one of the candidates. In the last week or so, his posts keep referring to Steven Fulop "having a boyfriend" or being gay - I guess, similar to what these alleged fliers being passed out in the Heights are saying. I'm probably preaching to choir on this one, but I know nothing about Fulop's sexual preference, nor do I care or think it has any effect on his ability to govern. Nobody knew what Edward Koch's sexuality was, and he did just fine as mayor of New York City. I wouldn't guess Fulop to be gay, but don't care either way.

Oh, yet another Healy shill with only a few posts just a couple weeks before the election. If cheezsnak and WeBelongHere are not the same person that created two IDs (and will create more before the election ends), they are probably both campaign volunteers specifically instructed to monitor this forum. You know, if you had started posting a few months earlier and had a lot more posts under your name, it might have been more convincing. You aren't fooling anybody here. You say you haven't seen Fulop campaigning and/or registering voters, but I'd like to know - where was Healy and his council cronies/appointees after Hurricane Sandy? Because all I saw was Healy doing a few photo ops at the various shelters, and heard he barely helped out while he was there. Fulop, on the other hand, was out and doing his best to help people in wards besides his own Ward E.

Fine with me if they want to post here though, they won't sway too many people on this forum and it diverts their energy away from other forums.

Mayor Healy - seriously? How desperate has your campaign become? What if I decided to start posting publicly available court filings about your little episode in Bradley Beach a few years back? Would I get a cease and desist notice for that? Don't worry, I won't do it, I have better things to do and it is my opinion that I really couldn't do any more damage to your reputation than you're already doing to your own.
