Thanks for finding that clip! Great theater.

I really enjoyed some of the questioning last night - especially Teresa Patterson asking Gaughan and Flood about their nepots on the MUA and JCIA boards followed by the comment about talking to Willie while she's driving around the neighborhood in her city car on Sundays. The gloves are off.

Council passed the ordinances requiring 20% copayment on insurance for JCIA and JCMUA board members, and they think the people should be grateful that we still get to pick up the tab for 80%. Councilwoman Richardson had no idea what she was voting for or against.

Reported Offense:

On Friday, March 5, 2010 at 12:11 am a residence hall student reported to the NJCU Public Safety Department that while walking west on the north side of Audubon Avenue that he was approached by two males at gunpoint and relieved of his wallet and cell phone. The student alerted the public safety officer located in Lot # 4 who notified the Jersey City Police Department and immediately began an area search along with other NJCU Public Safety Officers.

NJCU Public Safety Officers spotted two suspects and notified the JCPD investigating officers who had the victim in their patrol vehicle. One of the suspects was apprehended and positively identified. The victim was not injured and the matter continues to be investigated by JCPD.

Suspect (s):
Number 1: Black male, dark skinned, hooded sweatshirt with hood over head, dark jeans.

Number 2: Black male, light skinned, long hair, white hooded sweatshirt with prints. Suspect # 2 had the weapon.

Please feel free to provide copies of this notice to your colleagues who do not use email. If you have any information that might be helpful in the investigation, contact the NJCU Public Safety Department or the Jersey City Police Department. If you wish to remain anonymous please feel free to provide information through the NJCU Public Safety Department Silent Witness website.

The NJCU Public Safety Department is concerned for our community as well as the community-at-large. While the incident occurred off campus, we have placed our public safety officers on a heightened state of alert. The Public Safety Department has already increased patrols.

We will continue to provide information on personal safety and crime prevention through talks and presentations by our public safety officers. The Public Safety Department is available to provide security escorts (call extension 3128) and crime prevention brochures to anyone in our community.

Some Basic Security Tips:

? Stay alert. Walk in well-lighted areas. Keep your mind on your surroundings, who?s in front of you and who?s behind you. Don?t get distracted. If you?re worried about crime, ask a friend to accompany you when you go out.

? Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, leave.

? If you suspect you?re being followed by someone on foot, cross the street and head for the nearest well-lighted, populated area. Locate a store and call the police, if possible.

? Use the NJCU Security Escort Service or request the KnightRider van service.


We assure everyone that we are doing everything possible to provide a safe environment to all who study, work and visit the NJCU campus.

Another change Christie is trying to make to unemployment is to make it tougher for workers who are fired to collect......this ends up being a financial incentive for employers....why layoff a worker when you can look for a way to fire them instead...thereby not having your unemployment tax raised.

It's true that TJ's Edgewater is only about 8 miles from downtown Jersey City, but it takes 35-40 minutes to get there in traffic because you either have to go through Hoboken or the Heights. TJ's corporate probably sees 8 miles and thinks we're right near TJs. That's why I mentioned that Edgewater is 40 minutes away when I wrote my request.

"We realize these are difficult times," said Councilman Bill Gaughan, who has a city car. "We've given up 12 furlough days like everyone else, but at some point you need vehicles to perform your job."

The TJ in Edgewater is a very routine/boxy look. My biggest gripe with that location (apart from having to drive all the way there) is that they don't sell alcohol! TJ's has a pretty good beer selection and you can build your own 6 pack. According to a salesperson, its very hard to get a liquor permit in North Bergen!!
