I participated in the student strike at St. Peter's in 1968 and also marched in the anti war demonstrations. There was no violence. Speaking of the Black Panthers, in the 1968 Jersey City mayoral campaign Tom Whelan tried to link Julian Robinson (a moderate black) to the Black Panthers. It was a shameful racist thing to do. Thankfully, karma got Whelan and he was indicted and convicted with the Hudson Eight for corruption.

And of course, our "mainstream media" lends credibility by never truly questioning or showing the real racists and no nothings who make up the Republican and Tea Party movements.

Re: City To Conduct First Property Revaluation Since 1988

Some historical perspective.
New York Times Revaluations Anger Homeowners By JEFFREY HOFF Published: October 16, 1988 JERSEY CITY? AS Trenton, Camden and Newark face their first revaluations of property in more than 25 years, the troubled experience of Jersey City offers an example of the confusion that revaluations can cause when they are postponed during years of rapidly rising real-estate values, tax experts and officials say. Numerous Jersey City homeowners were shocked last spring to find that their assessments rose tenfold, but more dismayed to learn that nearly identical houses down the block got only sevenfold increases. The purpose of a revaluation is to insure that property owners pay their fair share of property taxes by bringing assessments up to 100 percent of market value. But thousands of Jersey City homeowners have joined a group that filed suit against the city charging that the revaluation was not conducted properly, resulting in exaggerated bills. In dozens of protest meetings around the city this year, property owners argued that the revaluation completed for 1988 is unacceptable because field inspectors failed to enter the majority of homes, were poorly trained and assessed many properties far above or below market value. Nearly 5,000 property owners appealed their valuations before the Hudson County Board of Taxation last month, and thousands have contributed to hire Saul Wolfe, a Livingston lawyer and president of the State Bar Association, to file suit against the city challenging the results. It is not uncommon for city governments to appeal the revaluations, which are conducted by independent companies. But residents say it seems curious that the Jersey City administration would take the politically unpopular position of supporting the revaluation, especially since the Mayor plans to run again next year. Disputes have arisen, however, between the City Assessor and the revaluation company, and the assessor says he has changed thousands of the assessments. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/10/16/nyr ... wners.html?pagewanted=all

I highly recommend Dr. Bo Seok at 3285 John F Kennedy Blvd, Jersey City. He's a bright young guy from the University of Pennsylvania dental school who interned at Columbia Presbyterian. He's done a number of root canals and crowns for me with no pain or complications. He takes all insurance and is willing to work with you on fees.

There are currently two deputy mayors.
Rosemary McFadden, who takes no salary from the City, and Kabili Tayari. Tayari makes $100K. McFadden is a knowledgeable hard working professional. Tayari is a politically connected moron who brings no skills or value to City government.

Jersey City Business Administrator Brian O'Reilly is leaving city government

---|---|---|---|---|
Not too shy to talk

By Ken Thorbourne/The Jersey Journal
November 24, 2009, 5:04PM Jersey City Business Administrator Brian O'Reilly confirmed today he's leaving employment with the city by April. O'Reilly, a city employee for nearly 25 years, said he's exploring a position within 10 miles of his home in Howell. But whether or not he lands that job, he's leaving. "I commute 150 miles a day," he said. "It gets old." The $154,000-a-year business administrator said his imminent departure is "no secret." Most department directors in the city report to the business administrator and the person in that post is principally responsible for preparing a city budget. O'Reilly, 47, is the son of former Ward A Councilwoman Bernadette O'Reilly. He served as the city's chief tax assessor and formerly directed the city's real estate office. Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy appointed him business administrator in 2004.

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy has declined an invitation to participate in a major televised mayoral debate.
Local political commentator Pat O?Melia, who organized the event and scheduled it for April 1, said that Healy Campaign Manager Bud Demellier wrote him a letter declining the debate invitation because ?the Mayor will give first priority to attending debates that are sponsored by respected, fair and unbiased organizations that reach a broad audience.? http://www.politickernj.com/matt-frie ... ersey-city-mayoral-debate
