Saga of Councilwoman Nidia Lopez / the 11.25% tax incre while the Crystal Point tax abatement gets reduced


On July 8th, the city council voted 8-1 in favor, Fulop voted NO, for a 11.25% tax increase on the city's portion of our taxes. Three weeks prior to this vote, the city council voted to extend the Crystal Point tax abatement from 20 to 30 years and reduced the taxes paid to the city by 31.25%! They get a sweeter deal while we get a tax increase. In this economic climate, there has been no belt tightening by the Healy Administration. No layoffs of the bloated administration, they just raise our taxes....

As reported in previous emails/ TV show, our school taxes are going up this fall by 8%. As for the County, expect an increase which always happens after an election. Saturday, July18th, at the Fulop pancake breakfast, Tom DeGise, the County Executive, would not say how much JC was going up but used Hoboken as an example and they're looking at 10- 11% !! Wow! and for what????

Voter apathy, fewer than 16,000 people voted for mayor for a city with over 250,000 people, got us 4 more years of the same, inept Healy administration. BTW, Fulop mentioned on Saturday that about 6,000 votes were cast for mayor but for no one else... Strange isn't it that a person would not vote for their Council person but only for mayor. To me it sounds like voter fraud.... 6,000 out of 16,000 is huge...

If you missed the show with Nidia Lopez, the Ward C councilwoman facing charges of non-residency & voter fraud, watch the abbreviated version which follows. Oct 26th is Nidia 's day in Hudson County court. In addition, she just got in the mail a $30k bill from Florida for the tax breaks she fraudulently took.
With the caliber of council reps, Fulop excluded, we have on the council, there's no end to the mismanagement of the city and more tax increases...
