Re: Jersey City Democratic operative still owes $81K court fine from 1992

Welfare also included the WIC program (Women, Infants, and Children). The government then gave extra cheese. I remember reading Earl Morgan's column about McKnight hiding cheese on City Hall's window sill. People were calling him a rat for stealing cheese.

Yet, here he is in 2015, earning 75K as a "case manager" for the prison re-entry program. This on the heels of instrumental roles played in the campaigns of his daughter-in-law, councilwoman Coleman and Mayor Fulop. He's a player still. As the article says:

"...he remains a master political operative in Jersey City's heavily African-American Ward F."

Are you saying that because Earl Morgan wrote an opinion piece comparing McKnight to a rat, that somehow settles it in favor of the idea that the guy has no sway? Because, that's the inference I get.

Not at all surprised the man still carries clout given the fact that so many benefited from the 80s scheme he masterminded. A legend, his legacy and the Black cognoscenti. Who doesn't like a Michael Corleone and who dares to defy him?

But, I digress.

My issue is with the accrued interest on all that money owed. How much is 81.5K -- compounded annually over twenty years at 6% -- worth in today's dollars? Around a quarter million I'll bet! This amount ought to be his "one-shot-deal."

Re: McGreevey is asked to leave a community meeting

#34

Home away from home

Um, excuse me JC and User, how does Prato enter the conversation here? This is not an "us" versus "them" situation.

There does exist a body of credible social science research which fully supports the idea that socioeconomic status and low-socioeconomic neighborhoods have a significant correlation to mental health and personal progress. So, take a person living in a low-socioeconomic neighborhood who earns a decent income relative to the neighborhood, and that person isn?t as stressed as he or she would be if placed in a high-socioeconomic neighborhood where same income is less and in many cases FAR less relative to the neighborhood.

Frankly, I would have no problem if this program were implemented downtown, so long as the rationale for doing so was in the best interests of the newly released prisoners.

But, it has to go somewhere, why not in the Greenville neighborhood? What do all the community activists seen on the video, all of whom are African-American, propose we do regarding the needed program?s implementation given that the majority of the ex-prisoners are African-American? This whole business of protest and demonstration seems kind of turncoat to me.

Where, then, is the facility supposed to be built? Is there an alternative site, perhaps one that is closer to the Path train system?

What is all the fuss? It's not as though that stretch of Greenville is unfamiliar with crime and or criminals. And, I am not being facetious here. Is the "what about the children" argument merely a front for "what about the real estate value?" The bottom line is that a re-entry program is needed.

Perhaps it should be placed downtown, so that the guys trying to rebuild broken lives can more easily assimilate, lol. The stress of feeling poor is way more harmful than actually existing in poverty.

Re: Monaghan's tavern

#37

Home away from home

At the north end of Jersey City, Monaghan's Bar at 225 Hutton St. is set to close its doors and taps after 40 years, leaving local patrons without a second home.

"All of my friends come here," said Tim Purcell, 65, a retired Jersey City cop. "We've been coming here for years. We planned golf outings to Myrtle Beach and celebrated St. Patrick's Day."

The largely blue collar neighborhood bar frequented by generations of police officers and firefighters first opened in 1974 on the corner of Hutton Street and Sanford Place by Terry Monaghan, who passed away in 2008. His son Terry Monaghan Jr. continued to run the bar.

Re: Bicycle advocacy groups call for crackdown on double parking in Jersey City, beyond

#38

Home away from home

JERSEY CITY ? Twenty-two miles of bike lanes have been installed since Mayor Steve Fulop took office, but some bicycle advocates say motorists often ignore these lanes creating what they call unsafe and deadly conditions for cyclists and pedestrians.

Cars driving ? and even parking ? in bike lanes are a serious problem for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike, bike advocates say.

"All you have to do is go on Grove Street," said Christopher Englese, president and co-founder of Bike JC, an advocacy group for cyclists in Jersey City. "Because of the double parked cars in the bike lanes, the cyclist has to steer out into the actual road."

There are no specific laws regarding a motorist double parking in a bike lane in either Jersey City or New Jersey. State law only has rules against double parking, and for Englese, he rarely sees these double parking laws being enforced locally.

But we?ll need at least a couple thousand people to come on board if the civil disobedience rally is to be meaningful. And each person will have to take a day off from work. I?d say we gather around 1 o?clock. That?ll give the troops an hour to get good and loaded at the local bars, preferably with Tequila and beer chasers. Then we can hit them full force! We can take over the Holland Tunnel entranceway and be totally disruptive. The press will love it! Especially, if a few of us are willing to take a couple of shots and throw a few punches at the police as the scene devolves into an ?all out? riot! I?m just hoping that we don?t set off another Reginald Denny incident. They can arrest us and charge us with whatever, but at least our voice will be heard!

The time for pondering questions is long gone. We need to liberate the oppressors from their inhumanity.

Regardless, the mysterious circumstances surrounding the collapse of building number 7 (and I swear if I see the word "conspiracy" bandied about hereafter, I'm tearing it up) and the obvious fact that the 9/11 massacre was indeed planned and executed as a "false flag" precursor to a land grab (et al) in the name of oil, gives pause to anyone who might come on this board and attempt to justify or rationalize the obvious. It, the Port Authority, is a corrupt behemoth and it needs to go away, forever.

So, what we are talking about is a concept of "minimal impact." I first learned of this when on expedition in the Wind River Mountain Range of Wyoming. The idea is utmost respect for the environment (totally anathema to Capitalist ethos) in which you carry out whatever you take in AND that you leave no trace. But in a world dominated by cyclical consumption, and the folly of commercial advertising, it's hard to inculcate the correct "way of being." In other words, F it all, what's in it for me and so what about the environment.
