?We are pleased to have someone with Steve?s knowledge, experience, diligence and enthusiasm to serve in this capacity,? Healy said. ?In addition to serving on the City Council and the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency, Steve has lived and operated businesses throughout this city, knows the issues, and will be an asset as we continue to advance economic development in Jersey City.?

Too bad none of the JC cops actually live in JC, they'd be able to vote Healy out at the next election.

How many Parking Authority employees are equal to one police pfficer of the JCPD ? J.C. runs the police dept. on a priority system. Wouldn't it be a better idea to let go of more Parking Authority employees than cops. I'd rather have people commit criminal acts by parking their cars then harming another's well being.

Waste in the JCPD
With 82 Police Officers facing the loss of their jobs, and 12 supervisors facing demotion, maybe we can take a look at other options:

Awesome. Mrs. Healy being serenaded with "recall Healy" and smiling through it. Not one but two inflatable rats. Bullhorns. Three TV stations. But the "highlight" was watching Viola Richardson cross the line as a retired cop. A rat jumping onto a sinking ship.

And I'm sick about the sick day provisions. Being able to cash in 493 accumulated sick days is absurd. Sick days should be use-it-or-lose-it.

These municipal contracts are going to drive this city to bankruptcy. This has to stop now.

Narcolepsy: A neurological disorder marked by a sudden recurrent uncontrollable compulsion to sleep. Narcolepsy is often associated with cataplexy (a sudden loss of muscle tone and paralysis of voluntary muscles associated with a strong emotion), sleep paralysis (immobility of the body that occurs in the transition from sleep to wakefulness), what are called hypnagogic hallucinations (pre-sleep dreams) and automatic behaviors (such as doing something "automatically" and not remembering afterwards how one did it).

Shame is the one thing these scumbags don't take from the city. Just ask Gerry McCann, who only feels emboldened.

?We have been totally out of control,? she said. ?We have been spending more than we bring in. We need to take a harder look and put some constraints on ourselves.

this is not criticism of the BoE members that sought a search for a new superintendent. I agree with them and advocated for outside leadership in many venues over years including the 2008/2009 municipal election cycle and back in 2005 when Dr. Epps ran and then served (double dipped) for two years as a NJ State Assemblyman.

that said, I believe that we should move on .... why?

- because on September 9th, I will be among the parents and caregivers of the 28,000 public school kids walking them to their first day back to school and with or without Dr. Epps, there is much that needs to and can be done

- because we need to achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances and that is a contract setting the tone for accountability, cost control and job performance (for Dr. Epps and those that come after).

all or nothing will not work for us.
