Wasn't it last year that Torres, Fulop, and Baraka had a photo/video op where they were joining together to fight crime? Day after Christmas we have one shot and killed in Newark, two shot and killed in Paterson, and a 1 year old shot in Jersey City.

Great job, mayors!

(edited to add that these three towns suck up a total of close to $1.8 BILLION dollars, each and ever year, in Abbott money alone!

You're wrong, it belongs to JC for over 20 years. Comcast could not have taken it without our consent. The city had to option to appeal before the board of public utilities. If you compare Comcast to other town, we are on the short stick of services. Montclair is a town with better public access from their cable provider.

It is obvious people are commenting about this but they don't know the details. JC has a contract with Comcast. You can get a copy from the City Clerk's office. Healy was correct when he spoke before the city council on Dec. 11, 2012 about Comcast shortcomings. His comments are on the video I posted. The new administration had options but choose to cave in on Comcast. Comcast always wanted Channel 1 even though it was branded as JCTV1. Sorry Fulop supporters, Fulop dropped the ball. We had a valuable asset. In the meanwhile, Comcast raises their rates and give JC residents a lousy studio for the public. Before Comcast came here, the previous company was Cable TV of JC. They would video tape local sporting events in JC. Does Comcast do that? The answer is no. The city are shortchanged with this new deal.

Yvonne wrote:
It was the city brand for a long time. Sorry, Healy was right on this. If Fulop spends tax dollars on appealing other people's taxes, he could have spend money to protect the city's brand. During an emergency everyone know to turn to Channel 1, now that does not exists.

Yvonne wrote:
I was surprised to see JCTV 1 no longer exists, there was a public hearing on this 3 years ago, then former Mayor Healy said he wanted Comcast to continue to give JC Channel 1. Channel 1 has been JC station for about 25 years, why is the administration silent? Here is the Dec. 11, 2012 meeting with an updated message:

The amount of cops on construction duty is a fcking joke.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure by law cops need to be there. I also think it's the contractor paying for the cops overtime. Theyre not there as part of their regular duty.

Gotta love the comments on nj.com

"Drunk, disorderly and injuring someone else? He shouldn't be a Jersey City police officer. He's highly qualified for City Council though, in a Fulop administration."

It is not illegal, but the second you start they can charge you with lewdness or indecent exposure.

Webmaster, oh webmaster. Should we have people like this on this board? Aren't things rough enough here?

To answer your question HB...no. While driving up Clendenny Ave. at Westside there was a woman defecating right there on the corner for all to see.

If you meant to reply to me, no not a voyeur, I'm on my own stoop smoking which is allowed, pissing in public is not. The photos are for @jc_gov on Twitter to prove this shit has gotten way out of control

The PATH trains i find pretty reliable. I use the railbandit app. As for the buses, i don't take NJ buses but on each stop sign there is a phone number to call to let you know the next bus... has anyone tried it? How reliable?

I just had a veggie burger here last night. It was really good. I guess they sell all kinds of fancy meats like kangaroo and alligator but my burger had black beans in it and it was spicy and really good. They used to have a food truck in Hoboken, I think. It's nice to see that little space on Bower come to life. It's right near Palisade and Riverview Park. Let's hope they do well!

How is JC defining blight - which is required in order for the city or state to seize the properties under imminent domain for the purposes of redeveloping the area. Since New London in 2005, this has been a hot-button topic and many states have reined in the ability to use imminent domain; I don't know if NJ has. Problematically for CIVIC JC, the definition of "blight" is extremely broad - http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB124105581784671561 - and I have no doubt JC will be able to make it stick in this situation.

What buses? Buses are an unreliable service especially returning home past 11:00 PM. A cab ride would cost more than a tank full of gas. Not having parking is telling residents in Society Hill, Port Liberte, or residents in the Western Slope they are not welcome. There is limited mass transit especially in cold weather.

This is problem for us. I live in the Heights, and there is only one direct bus to downtown - the 86 which runs down Palisades to Grove Street and Newport. It runs every 30 minutes after 5:00pm, and hourly after 7:00pm. The last bus leaves Newport at 9:50pm. I've had to bail early on classes I take at the JC Art School to catch that last bus!

If you don't mind the 20 to 30 minute walk each way you can walk to JSQ and take the PATH 1 stop, although truth be told I only do this for something really fun like JCAST or the gay pride parade.

Hey wishful thinking, didn't you read what I wrote? I said my condo, not the building. The place where I reside. The blessing takes places inside my door, not outside. The priest uses Holy Water and prayers. By the way, many Jewish families have Mezuzah which is on the outside of their door. They do not need my OK for that so I am not seeking an OK for the blessing on my condo.

The Mezuzah would be in their doorframe. I don?t care about you blessing your condo.

Considering the Catholic Church chooses to depict a nearly naked man with spikes through his hands, thorns around his head and slashes and cuts dripping blood throughout his body, I find it rather comical that a bunch of healthy people in a photograph would be alarming, disturbing or embarrassing?

This is blasphemy and offensive towards Catholics and religion it should be removed and you should be chastised for posting this. I am surprised the webmaster has not done so yet.

I find this hilarious, particularly from the point of view of "omg, young children might see this!" Have any of you outraged people been around young children? The sexual connotations you bring to the artwork are the product of an adult mind. It isn't inherent in the artwork, and certainly not going to be brought by a prepubescent child's mind.

Which is all pretty amusing since any child can turn on the TV or browse common internet sites and see things that are dramatically more sexual in nature at any given moment. Hell, certain advertisements are more overtly sexual in nature than this.
