Well, all of the jobs you mentioned come out of JC taxes. This money is coming from a grant and I'm fine with that. Apples and Oranges.

Securing a grant is different from the legitimate frustration that you express. Fulop ... definitely.

By Brett Wilshe/The Jersey Journal
Mayor Jerramiah Healy and state Sen. Sandra B. Cunningham announced today that the Jersey City Incinerator Authority plans to rehire 30 Second Chance employees thanks to a $310,000 New Jersey Community Service Block Grant. The Second Chance program hires individuals with non-violent criminal records. In September, 42 Second-Chance employees in the city were laid off when state funding for the city's Urban Enterprise Zone was cut. JCIA CEO Oren K. Dabney said those laid-off employees would have first preference to be rehired. "I've seen peoples lives changed through the Second Chance program," Dabney said. "Some of our best full-time employees came from it. Healy thanked Senator Cunningham for securing the state grant, saying in a press release that it would provide both jobs and valuable services to the city. "When I saw the opportunity to secure funds for this program in Jersey City I did not hesitate," Cunningham said in a statement. "I am proud to say that Jersey City will once again have an active Second Chance program." Crews are expected to work weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., performing various chores such as picking up litter and shoveling snow, Dabney said. Second Chance was started in 2001 by Cunningham's late husband, Glenn D. Cunningham, when he was Jersey City mayor. _____________________ What a freakin joke !!! Layoff cops, furlough and ultimately layoff long time law-abiding City employees !! The Cunningham JCIA patronage mill continues unabated while our moron Mayor applauds like a trained seal !! Fulop 2013 !!!
