Perhaps you could attend the next Hamilton Park meeting and see if , as a group, you can come up with some suggestions to give to our council.
Also, you could question why the JCPD allocate multiple cars to the BJ's parking lot to monitor a closed off one way street. You would think that these resources could be better utilized monitoring troubled streets. Not only would this bring in revenue, it would also send a message that the heaviest used streets are being watched.

How many employees (before the cut) does the JCHA employ?
I was a bit surprised by the number of people, 50, but what % is this? Also, they oversee 2600 homes in JC? What is an adequate house-employee ratio? It would be nice to see some other cuts in government across the board and not just this division. If a company is loosing money it must cut costs, see Ford.

To get change, someone needs to bring attention to the public just how important this issue is. It is apparent just by some comments on this board that not everyone knows exactly what this ordinance would mean.
Then, when the next election comes up we bring up this issue again and slam the incumbent.

Two items are being mixed up here
1) Pay-to-Play. There should be no hoopla, the ordinance is to limit developers to contribute to a politician under some circumstances (not all) for a year. 2) PILOTs / abatement. This issue is not even in question tonight and doesn't have much to do with pay-to-play. abatements /= pay to play, however a developer could give money to a politician in return for a vote for an abatement. This is the way I see it, correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Developer Pay-to-Play Press Release- Steven Fulop

Looks like the two main arguments apposing here are:
a) Since JC gave control to the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency there could be a lawsuit against the city if the ordinance passes. This seems a little ridiculous to me however it would have been nice if they had exact stats on which cities have a similar agency with the pay-to-play ordinance and do real risk analysis regarding a potential lawsuit. b) Since Fulop doesn't receive as much political contribution from developers as the other council members they think it is unfair to them to enact this specific law which would give Fulop a unfair advantage regarding raising funds.

Whether Councilman Fulop or any other council members have accepted campaign contributions from developers is not relevant. While I agree that this is important legislation, this idea will be relevant as it could possibly relate to motive. The publics best interest is not always the reason.

development is good, corrupt politicians are not.
There is nothing illegal about putting up an "ugly" building, otherwise all the vacant buildings and vinyl siding would be gone.

The boxes at shoprite are not from a non-profit ORG. They are from American Recycling Technologies and they will get paid for whatever you drop off.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal today sued American Recycling Technologies, Inc. of East Northport, New York for labeling its clothing drop boxes in a manner that falsely leads donors to believe they are making a charitable donation. In reality, American Recycling receives and sells for a profit all the clothing left at its bins, while paying a small yearly stipend to charities listed on the boxes. American Recycling Technologies

To me, at least, it seems clear that Sonia wants to run for Ward E council. Becoming enemies with Fulop and splitting the voter base would be her best way to do this.
I really don't think she cares about the Korean vets any more than Fulop does, her actions are purely politically based.

The article makes it sound like Keating gets 50k/year salary and *in addition* to this he made 163k in overtime over two years which averages to $131,500/year. This sounds excessive to me.

If you all were on a board dedicated to building design we would still be staring at vinyl siding and abandon buildings.
I'm not saying the buildings are masterpieces but what are you really expecting? Not every building can be the 8th wonder of the world. I think people are complaining because they are afraid of the changing landscape so hey take it out on things they have no control over.
