Quite a regular

My personal observation was the Solomon campaign worked harder. I received twice as many visits from Solomon canvassers than Symes.

Completely ignoring that at Dixon she employed two people from her old job with Senator Gillibrand. Under Symes, Dixon successfully reduced their property tax burden leaving regular homeowners to pick up the tab.

Completely ignoring? She resigned from her position and is going without a job to avoid conflicts of interest. If something pertaining to Dixon came before council she should recuse herself. But Dixon generally does not have matters that go before the council. It is not a developer and has not applied for tax abatements or sought approval of redevelopment plans. Most of what Dixon has to do with government is getting permits, approvals to do work in historic districts, and the like. That does not go before council.

Between Symes and Solomon it is obvious who the mayor would prefer to be on the council. But the mayor knows that it would be unseemly to endorse the former General Counsel for a major real estate investment firm. Let me make this clear - General Counsel of real estate investment firm -> Jersey City Council ? is inappropriate and egregious from an ethical standpoint. There are good reasons to vote for either candidate, but completely ignoring the ethical dilemma is troubling. Ms. Symes may do an excellent job on the council ? time will tell. But either way, this will set a dangerous precedent.

Symes will favor developers over residents and you?ll be paying what they don?t pay in property tax.

From reading the posts here saying how Team Solomon is trying to make something out of Rebecca Symes past employment and especially the above post Solomon comes across as an anti-development kind of guy. Speaking for the majority of people in the ?other city? (according to JJ?s Earl Morgan) please vote for Symes today. With all of the new development opportunities coming to ALL wards (Bayfront, Westside, JSquare) we don?t need another anti-development vote on the City Council. We already have Rich ?NO vote? Boggiano to try and c-block* us. The Journal Square locals mentioned in the above post are indeed overjoyed that new development is finally happening Up The Square. They had the ?rebirth? rug pulled out from under them many a time. They have been waiting decades to either cash out or enjoy some of those ?yuppie? amenities like good restaurants/bars, grocery stores, etc. (the things they used to have 40+ years ago) Whenever I see my older neighbors it is a ?Hi how are you doing did you hear if any new projects got approved?? Don?t let that joy stop now. (we JC old-timers don?t have much time left to enjoy those ?yuppie? amenities) *c-block = construction block ..lol .

Which is why the mayor never endorsed her. Which is why he gave no money to her. Which is why he did not deploy any campaign people on her behalf. Which is why committee people, elected on the HCDO line, are allowed to campaign for whatever candidate they want. Which is why Solomon is working with the support of Michael Yun, who seeks not an "independent" council but an opposition bloc. Anonymous posts or unsourced assertions are not the basis for saying that Symes "seems" connected to the Mayor. She is not except in the sense that she can work more cooperatively rather than act as a "White Knight" who knows better than everyone else.

The endorsement of Rebecca Symes by Aaron Morrill the Civic JC Co-Founder is profound. Aaron is a very vocal critic of the current administration. To paraphrase Aaron" Every voter should spend ten minutes talking to Rebecca and they will find that she is not the caricuture that her opponents have tried to portray her as"

Clearly James Solomon is Rooseveltesque. If the Roosevelts spent most of their time smearing their political enemies.

This, all the way. Symes just seems too aligned with Fulop's contacts and resources to be as independent as I'd like. I don't find the criticism of Solomon's background to be meaningful. We've seen terrific "dilettante" politicians like the Roosevelts many times in this country.

Josh - there was no ELEC expenditure for Bertoli on Fulop's ELECs (nor was there one for me, for that matter.) Are you going to tell me he wasn't involved in that campaign either?
If past experience is an indicator, you are probably not at the majority of the activities nor among the inner circle of the Symes campaign. A lot of things go on in a campaign that aren't visible to the dilettante. You can definitively say who exactly is involved and what their precise contributions have been? I strongly doubt that. I'm quite confident the information I'm hearing is accurate and have no reason to doubt it. To be honest, I don't care that much who wins. I'll vote for Solomon because I think he is a better check on the administration's lesser impulses, but both Solomon and Symes give me the impression that whomever wins will be running for mayor come Wednesday.
