Kushner firm wins records dispute against Jersey CityJERSEY CITY — A Hudson County judge ruled Friday that the Fulop administration must hand over documents requested by Kushner Companies related to the developer’s stalled Journal Square project, a plan that is at the center of a separate legal proceeding in federal court. Judge Francis B. Schultz’ five-page decision, which also slaps Jersey City for not devoting enough resources to answering public-records requests, comes as the administration faces renewed criticism over its transparency. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2019/01/kush ... -against-jersey-city.html

Jersey City blasts Kushner family's lawsuit as a 'conspiracy theory'The Kushner family's real-estate development firm spun a web of fabrications that reads "like a conspiracy theory" to make it seem they are the victims of Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop's animus toward President Trump, the city alleges in a new legal filing. The filing, a motion by Jersey City to dismiss the lawsuit the firm filed against the city and Fulop in July, says the company's allegations against the city are a "desperate attempt" by Kushner Companies and its partner, KABR Group, to remain the redevelopers of the stalled One Journal Square project. The two-tower plan is slated for a vacant lot adjacent to the Journal Square PATH station. https://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... st_jersey_city_reads.html

I have been speaking against tax abatement since the beginning of any administration. I don't mind 5 year tax abatements because of the short length but anything longer is pure corruption. For the record, I spoke against this tax abatement, it is in the record.

As much as I dislike Yvonne, and agree with your overall point about certain people/organizations demanding/expecting tolerance for their outrageous views, I do feel compelled to point out that I think some liberals willfully conflate the attitudes or behavior of some far right kooks with that of your garden variety conservative. That's just intellectually dishonest. Being a conservative, or Republican, does not automatically make you a bigot or a kook.

 I like how this has become a constant refrain from the very same people that spew hatred against every minority group on the planet. That somehow we all need to be tolerant of your hatred and lies and bigotry. It's almost comical how frequently right wingers complain about the "so-called tolerant left" and my favorite recent example is this: http://www.wpta21.com/story/38592321/ ... is-forced-out-of-building Quote: The church maintains it is not intolerant of others beliefs, but that it's finding those on the other side of this issue are intolerant of the beliefs of Remnant Fellowship Church. "whaaaaaa, why won't the left tolerate us telling gays that they are all going to burn in hell?"

I find it amazing how liberals tout themselves as tolerant until you have a different point of view. Then the hate and bullying comes out. It is bullying plain and simple.

Kushner v. Fulop: Inside the collapse of Jersey City tower project dealJERSEY CITY — It was April 2009 and Mayor Jerramiah Healy was seeking re-election. Healy and other city officials gathered outside a vacant lot in Journal Square, a site they promised would soon be home to a massive, two-tower development, the first skyscrapers in the city's center. The property was in a prime location, directly next to the Journal Square PATH transportation hub. The project represented "a great step forward" for Jersey City, Healy said. Four years later, Healy was again seeking re-election, this time facing a challenge from Councilman Steve Fulop. At a debate in the Journal Square Loew's theater, Fulop noted that there had been zero progress on the still-vacant site. https://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... f_one_journal_square.html

This has been pointed out to Yvonne on multiple occasions. But, as usual, she ignores any facts that stand in the way of her narrative. Her actual answer to someone pointing out to her that these were two different people (and, who are estranged from each other) was "well, I don't believe they are estranged because they are brothers". She is legit ignoring established facts to push her false narrative. I have said it before, people like Yvonne are an embarrassment and a danger to society and democracy. Her wanton lies are truly deplorable.

This information on his personal life did not bother Fulop when he gave the tax abatements in 2013 along with $10 million in redevelopment bonds. It bothers Fulop now but the true victims will be Jersey City taxpayers when Kushner wins his lawsuit.

Who would care what someone who does this says (from Wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles Kushner):
Quote: The witness-tampering charge arose from Kushner's act of retaliation against William Schulder, his sister Esther's husband, who was cooperating with federal investigators; Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranged to record an encounter between the two, and had the tape sent to his sister. He sounds like a terrible person, for which words stronger then he used against Fulop are deserved.

Kushner Cos. threatens to sue Fulop for defamation, mayor refuses to apologizeBy John Heinis/Hudson County View “I got another letter from the Kushner family today threatening to sue me AGAIN. They demand an apology for me saying the truth + they even drafted a tweet for me to send out. It’s not going to happen. I’ll revise my tweet slightly when THEY apologize publicly,” Fulop tweeted late this morning. “I’m not going to apologize for saying the truth. Whether it’s inaccurately reporting ownership in properties, or misrepresenting $ partners, or outright saying in China that $ in Jersey City properties means lots to the family, i think the public can judge 4 themselves[.]” https://hudsoncountyview.com/kushner-c ... yor-refuses-to-apologize/

In Jersey City, It’s Kushner vs. Kushner in a Race to DevelopBy Charles V. Bagli - May 21, 2018 JERSEY CITY — The decade-long blood feud between the Kushner brothers, Charles and Murray, has already put one brother in jail. Now, the men, who haven’t spoken in 15 years, are rivals in the development of Journal Square in Jersey City, the site of one failed project after another for the past three decades. Their ability to get along — or not — could affect this important corner of a rapidly changing city of 264,000 people. Journal Square is less a neighborhood than a maze of streets occupied by a bus depot and a PATH station, dowdy retail, a community college, low-income housing and a restored landmark theater converted into a Jehovah’s Witnesses Assembly Hall. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/21/ ... l-square-development.html

Michael Cohen steered prominent EB-5 exec to Squire Patton Boggs
USIF's Nick Mastroianni paid the law firm $370,000 to lobby Congress, the White House on investor visa issues By Will Parker | May 10, 2018 11:05AM Nicholas Mastroianni, the founder of the U.S. Immigration Fund regional center for EB-5 investment, was brought to the Squire Patton Boggs law firm as lobbying client by Michael Cohen, President Trump?s longtime personal attorney. The Wall Street Journal reported that Mastroianni paid Squire Patton Boggs $370,000 to lobby Congress and the Trump administration on EB-5 matters. Mastroianni confirmed he is one one of five clients that U.S. prosecutors for the Southern District of New York said were steered to Squire Patton Boggs by Cohen during a short-lived ?strategic alliance? with the firm. Mastroianni told the Journal that he met with Cohen sometime last year at his Rockefeller Center office and was later put in touch with lobbyist Edward Newberry. Cohen is being investigated for potential fraud and other matters related to his $130,000 payment of hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniel, who alleges she had an affair with the president. Cohen, who received $500,000 a year to bring clients to Squire Patton Boggs, has not been indicted on any charges by prosecutors. On Tuesday, it was revealed that Cohen?s firm Essential Consultants received a $500,000 payment last year to a fund linked to a Russian oligarch with ties to the Kremlin. In a February 2017 interview with The Real Deal after Trump took office, Mastroianni said that his company had thus far received little indication on policy positions related to EB-5 from the White House. Squire Patton Boggs filed its first lobbying report for work it completed for U.S. Immigration Fund in June of that year. The revelation that Mastroianni is a Squire Patton Boggs client is also notable given his connection to Kushner Companies and the investigations open against the real estate company for its use of the EB-5 program. U.S. Immigration Fund was working to bring Chinese investors to Kushner?s One Journal Square project in Jersey City, but Mastroianni called it off after a presentation by Jared Kushner?s sister in Beijing referenced the family?s ties to the White House. The presentation caused international controversy and ultimately led to a still-pending investigating by the U.S. Attorney?s office in Brooklyn. In January, TRD reported that Mastroianni?s firm and Kushner Companies had long abandoned their plans to raise EB-5 financing from China for 1 Journal Square. The company has raised EB-5 funds for HFZ Capital Group, Steve Witkoff, Durst Organization, Forest City Ratner and others. https://therealdeal.com/2018/05/10/mic ... c-to-squire-patton-boggs/

The project died the day the prime tenant decided to not go ahead with the deal. The rest if window dressing.

Jersey City won’t give Charles Kushner subsidies, but his brother got themMurray Kushner's firm got $40M in tax breaks to redevelop Journal Square The mayor of Jersey City, Steven Fulop, has made it clear he doesn’t want to give Kushner Companies a dime of subsidy to build their luxury residential towers at 1 Journal Square. But he didn’t feel that way about giving money to Charles Kushner’s rival brother, Murray. Kushner Real Estate Group, the firm led by Charles’ estranged brother Murray, received $40 million for its own redevelopment proposals at Journal Square, Bloomberg reported. That project, called Journal Squared, opened last year. Kushner Companies expected to receive the same treatment, but that changed last year, as protestors lined up to express their outrage that the city would move to subsidize the family of the President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. https://therealdeal.com/2018/04/27/jer ... but-his-brother-got-them/

Maybe some snags in JC, but Kushner is doing quite well in the rest of NJ. I was at Pier Village in Long Branch on a Monday and the joint was jumping, and the additional luxury construction was rolling along. The Monmouth Mall property has hit some snags but continues to work just as retail, unlike many similar malls. The thousands of apartment units are cruising.

Nothing is ever 100% in this blame game banter, but one need look no further than a Key Rat in this Deal's sudden departure from his lucrative JCRA position, the complete disarray of City Hall Operations with emphasis on JC Planning, Zoning & Building Departments & Wildcard Fulop's Pre&Post election Manipulations [check his E.O. writings to date] to see the big picture of why JC has turned Toxic for Investors. Bracketed Mis-Representational Photo Ops, Theatrics, Unqualified Political Hires, Unidirectional Tweeting & Strong Arm Tactics does not serve to substitute for Professionalism & Timely Production. Fulop, simply stated, doesn't deliver the goods. Amateur Hour City Hall Operations coupled with the fact that Fulop has seriously pissed off too many to list here, including some powerful players in the political arena leaving his political capital in question is a real deal-breaker IMHO.

Say what you like about the man, his crowdsourced ? heap of discarded empty plastic vodka bottles? art installation now on view at the building site is a Brilliant ironic take on his version of consumer values espoused by his family. A true monument that represents so much.
