The allegations were untrue, and the criminal charges were ALL DISMISSED with the SOLE exception of a single, misdemeanor charge of possessing a fake ID that omitted my age when I was 19....

As to the charges that were dropped, the underlying allegations were total bulls**t and were brought long before anyone (law enforcement or otherwise) interviewed me or the relevant witnesses or reviewed the evidence. Also, some of the media coverage inaccurately reported the dispositions and a retraction was issued. Anyone who needs to consider my background should review my actual criminal history (it?s public record) and the underlying documents, not news reports (many of which were just reprinting allegations from the initial inaccurate report; falsus in unus, falsus in omnibus).

Spectra Energy is donating $50,000 to a scholarship fund for local inner-city students. do we take this at face value that their business is passionate about Jersey City kids or can we question their intent or motive to influence public opinion in Jersey City?

Should B4K do something like this, how should we view it?

@ShelleySkinner - since I have not received answers to the invited questions I sent you, I cannot see how you can draw your conclusion.

not against B4K, still trying to figure out what it is and what it will do. yes, against the use of PACs.

re: "Achievement Gap" - is there anything in the B4K material that addresses the achievement gap?

re: disclosure - Disclosure of $5,000 and above ($10,000 in a two donor household) is a pretty high threshold when NJ Elec requires disclosure of $300 and above, how about revisiting.

@Candace - I believe perceived intent is important, a reality and influences actions.

re: "bad education in Jersey City" - my children are not getting a bad education in the Jersey City public district schools, nor are their classmates and we have some excellent educational opportunities before us as they go forward.

I guess we'll wait and see and follow the money.

Though I was not voting for Ms. Gangadin, I will now, just not to see another politically back candidate/puppet get in.

many of the posters here on jclist seem to think that the "mayor in waiting" backed candidates are strong. this is your right and maybe they are. but what is strong?

is it because the councilman is well known (downtown) and ward e people will vote for a pigeon if he endorsed it?

I completely agree that people that are prepared to run into a burning building to save you and your families lives, and in some cases even your pets are over paid. Cops also they get paid way to much for confronting armed gang members, junkies and other degenerates. These welfare rats have been sucking at the teets of the tax payer for way to long!

I would also like to add the bankers and lawyers are way under paid and if there is any way to steer public funds towards them would be a great help in the horrible fiscal times.

I was just implying that everyone not from J.C makes any story about the mayor or Jersey City headline news. I'm sure back home where you and other new comers came from have the same antics going on as well.

Vidya Gangadin has also filed her candidacy for the board and I hope that she will receive serious consideration by voters. Vidya is a parent leader at Academy I, a parent of four current public school children and employed as a financial analyst in the private sector.

We have the opportunity to elect (relect) great board members.

Vote!

It's illegal here in Jersey City unless it is approved by the Housing Code Authority (201) 547-4825. If you illegaly rent it out and the tenants report in on their taxes you can be discovered and will have to pay back all the rent they gave you. Plus a lot of time and costs in the court room.

Yes Kitten they are animals. Whether they are 12,13,14,15, or 25 they are the spawn of mutants who should have been aborted by court order. You aren't in Kansas anymore and these savages are a prime example of why more women should swallow. What you have to understand is that they were reared in subhuman living conditions that would shock the conscience of anyone with a basic paternal instinct. What emerges from these circumstances, that I understand were completely out of their control, is a wild animal that walks erect but has the thought process of a Jackal. While you go about your day please be aware that these predators do in fact exist and if you have something they want, they will attack often viciously. If they percieve you as a threat, they will usually move onto easier prey sort of like the Savannah wild dogs you see on Discovery Channel.
Ask any cop how many times he's had to try to get handcuff's over one of these primates wristwatches. Bet he thinks for a second before saying never. I didn't think about it until about arrest 400. Know why they don't wear watches? Because it doesn't matter what time it is. It's either light or dark outside, hot or cold. Tomorrow doesn't matter, the next hour doesn't matter. Just the here and now.
You may immediately transcribe this as racist commentary but it's really not. Its reality. Please be careful and be aware of your surroundings at all times. If something doesn't feel right it probably isn't.

Hey carpetbaggertil718, we are wasting our breath with people like JSleeze and robotjustin. The only hope with posting on this forum and for the people of Jersey City is that some people with a modicum of intelligence do read these posts and will receive some factual and realistic points of view. It is obvious by their jaded sense of intelligence(LOL) that their only response is inflicted with hatred for whatever happened to them. This is obvious in the way they may respond to a post answering them or even better they just ignore what is sent to them regarding their ludicrous comment. So to you JSleeze get it through your thick skull that police oficers when they retired are NOT paid for their accumulated sick days. There are none.

I checked out the civil service web site. You can't layoff from the top. You have to start with the bottom, so laying off the highest apid guys isn't going to happen. What they should do is down size dept. that do similar work. How about the parking authority, why do we need so many, what do they really do. A cop can write a parking ticket. Every time I needed a car moved from my driveway they would send the parking authority, and when it needed to be towed they would call the police. So why are they around again.
