Well, what are the choices really? Dan Levin is too green and seems to lack the charisma and perhaps egoism that allowed Schundler to buck the machine (Brett also had the forutne to come forward at a time when the machine was laid low by McCann's convicition and the entry of like a dozen canndidates.

Jerry has a lot of charm and a good tenor's voice. He is not stupid and raised a great family. He is a Jersey City original. But his tenure has absolutley solidified my original impression that his administration would be driven by the favor mill our gang mentality. Don't get me wrong. You need some of that, but you also need more than that. And more than that has been conspicuosly absent.

Webb is too green and inexperienced.

Harvery is a nice guy, but no fire.

So it's got to be Lou who seems a little unbalanced but has energy, has experience, and has ideas.

Lou Manzo?s running for Mayor of Jersey City!


Louis M. Manzo has spent his entire life in Jersey City and his entire career working to make our area a better place to live, work and raise a family.

Lou attended local city schools; St. Aloysius Grammar School and Hudson Catholic High School. He then graduated from Jersey City University and did post-graduate studies at Rutgers. Lou's education has focused on health and environmental issues and sparked his long career in public service.

Lou began working with the Jersey City Health Department and was instrumental in expanding city vaccination programs and protecting our health through eliminating environmental dangers that can cause grave illnesses, such as asbestos and lead contamination, rodent control and air quality. Lou was a leader in the fight to clean up the foul PJP landfill and to create an oasis from a landfill dump. That oasis became known as Liberty State Park and Lou's greatest reward has been that so few people remember when that magnificent park was a garbage dumping ground.

Lou's conviction that a planned garbage incinerator in Jersey City would adversely affect the health of Jersey City's children and lead to an increase in childhood asthma led to his decision to run for elective office. He was elected Freeholder and served from 1990 to 1993. Largely due to Lou's efforts, the incinerator project was dropped.

In 2003, Lou returned to serve the public and was elected to serve as the Assemblyman for the 31st district. Since going to Trenton, Lou has worked tirelessly in the areas of property tax reform, health initiatives and environmental clean-up. Lou has sponsored countless successful bills that protect our children, assist the elderly, preserve the environment and make our city a better place to live. Most recently, Lou has sparked the fight against crime and gangs among our young people through tough anti-gang measures and pre-gang prevention programs.

It's been Lou's personal mission to touch the daily lives of the public he serves. Accordingly, the door to his advocacy office is always open to anyone in need of assistance.

Manzo seems to have alot of accomplishments.I especially like the property tax rebate effort.Take a look at the video
Yvonne put up.

I am supporting Louis Manzo due to activism for over 20 years. Manzo stopped the building of an incinerator for Hudson County when he was a Freeholder. The defeat of the incinerator led to recycling. He also passed the Highlands Preservation Act. This act prevents any developments near watershed property. This act is very important. As an example former Mayor Schundler used the tax court to appeal the taxes at our watershed. He won but the following year, the township allowed development near our watershed. Run-off from development is very dangerous to our water. Manzo has the working capital to get things done and he will do what is right even if it cost him politically.
