I don't want to turn the baseball field into a dog run, just wondering if it would be OK to use it when no one else is around early in the morning or even late at night.

The police approve of the pipeline.

Therefore, the pipeline must be safe!

The Music Box, Indios and Latin Lounge are all Latino bars. They are no more or less obnoxious than bars you will find on Washington Street in Hoboken. The difference might be that the Hoboken police have an easier job patrolling the strip at closing time on Washington, than the JC police do, but you'll find exactly the same issues.

I've been inside those 3 bars many times with my girlfriend. I've shot pool with the locals and I have never felt threatened nor unwelcome. Yes there are probably loud and obnoxious people leaving those bars at times, but no more than any place young people hang out - it just seems worse because other than the nighttime drama, the area is generally very quiet. And don't say these people are out-of-towners. The Latino population downtown is bigger than most people care to accept, and will likely grow bigger.

This family needs to just stay away from alcohol...period. It's clear that they don't know how to drink socially like adults because father and son have both shown their nasty, foolish and downright ignorant sides by exhibiting illegal and immoral behavior because they don't know when to say stop. Quit going to bars, you idiots, and choose a meeting in a church basement somewhere instead. And for a father to defend this violen outburst is borderline psychotic. Try to get your son some help instead of defending this horrible behavior, you hapless moron!

There are cats, skunks, possums, squirrels, all sorts of birds including sparrows, pigeons, seagulls that leave their crap and piss in the park. Any reason why dog piss and crap is uniquely dangerous?

Every evening I see people with their off-leash dogs in the pet-free zones of Hamilton Park. As a dog owner, I just don't understand this. There are two dog runs. And if you still insist on having your dog off-leash, there are areas that aren't designated pet-free. Now two of the pet-free signs have been uprooted. I have no idea who did this. I'm just wondering why we can't have a couple of pet-free zones where people can sit and enjoy the park and not have to worry about sitting in dog pee.

New Jersey has one of the worst returns of federal tax dollars. For every dollar we pay towards the federal government, we get back something like $0.72. That's not a very good rate of return.

NYC is much easier for pedestrians. There are a lot more pedestrians and the drivers cannot turn on red.

Really, no right on red in NYC?

I've seen plenty of it, and I blame the city for not bothering to post signs at the major highways, bridges & tunnels. Who would know if no one ever tell them except the rare cop writing the ticket?

I'm glad layoffs have been averted, but is this a good deal for the city? The police will forgo a week's pay this year, but they get two comp days in return, and they can collect the deferred pay when they retire, plus an extra day's pay.

Isn't this one more example of Jersey City government filling a budget hole with a short-term fix? By the time all these officers retire, the city will end up paying 20 percent more (that extra day's pay) than it would have otherwise.

I have a serious problem with
funding that?s earmarked for one project being diverted to other
programs after the fact,? said Sen. Sacco.

In the private sector the decline in unions has been because the jobs have been going overseas to lower cost workers, you can say that is good thing since the price of products went down but in reality it has hurt us since that money could have stayed here instead of going to another country.
