JERSEY CITY -- Jermaine Robinson, a cafe owner who narrowly lost the Ward F City Council race in 2013, was appointed that ward's councilman at a special council meeting last night.

Robinson, 41, will fill the vacancy left when Diane Coleman stepped down last month to become the county register. Robinson owns the Light Rail Cafe on Randolph Avenue and is property manager at the Hub shopping center on Martin Luther King Drive.
