Well there's this: Two years ago, Jersey City quietly permitted four top officials to accept payments of up to half their accrued sick leave in what officials say was an attempt to keep the four administrators from retiring amid rumblings that state officials were about to curtail public benefits, The Jersey Journal has learned. and this: Of the 188 police and firefighters who left Jersey City, 31 got checks of more than $100,000, including four who received a check for more than $200,000. and this: Jersey City wants to borrow $22 million to cover payouts for unused sick, vacation and compensatory time to city workers who are retiring. The scam is big. The scandal is real. We are being focked.

Use them or lose them! What is so freaking hard about that?
The whole Jersey City government needs to be fired and new people hired to clean house. They're almost all corrupt thieves.

Councilman Steve Fulop has a Satisfaction Survey out:
How is the city performing? Tell us how well you think the city is doing in each of the following areas. Parks and Open space Recreational activities for children Access to transportation Tax stability Pedestrian safety/walkability Fire Education Police Trash collection/cleanliness Street maintenance Recreational activities for adults Cultural events Ward E council office What is the one thing that the city can work on to make you, your family or your neighborhood's life better in Jersey City? I wonder if we'll score any better than we did in the last the last satisfaction survey that Jersey City was in.

I don't understand why we need to pay cops for deliveries and road work.
New York City and most other places manage just fine without cops for these tasks. Why should we have to pay this extortion?

Perhaps you value your flowers/stolen materials at over $500 and demand that it be classified as Felony Theft.
I think that under $200 and the worst that will happen is a disorderly person's charge. Given the amount of time, energy, and associated costs that go into a flower, $500 is easily plausible.

Mosquito Control in Jersey City

Does anyone know of any programs or plans to control mosquitoes in JC?
I've been bitten up a lot this year. It seems they're smaller and quieter than in years past. Anyone else being annoyed by these little buggers? Is Jersey City even testing our mosquitoes to check for West Nile? According the the NYC Health Department, they've found them with West Nile in Staten Island, which isn't very far away for a mosquito to fly.

Allowing people to take photos inside your home is absolutely ridiculous. All your personal belongings, photographs, books on the shelves, etc, will become a matter of public record.

That is a very dangerous intersection. I rarely say this, but it should be a light. It is necessary not only for vehicular and cyclist safety, but also for pedestrians to cross the street.
People get up a lot of speed going up and down that hill on Newark. Cyclists have a particular problem, because they will be going faster than usual, and anyone coming out of Pavonia onto Newark will have a hard time seeing them and judging their speed. The drivers are looking for cars, not speeding cyclists. With the bend in the road, cars accelerating up the hill have a hard time seeing you as well. If you are a cyclist, you should slow to a near stop before proceeding through that intersection to be sure you are seen. If you are a pedestrian trying to cross there, make sure your affairs are in order.

I would like somebody to start a class action lawsuit to force Jersey City to permit the dispute of tickets via the web or mail.
It is de facto punishment when you have to take a day off work to fight an obviously wrong ticket.

Compstat just provides numbers of loosely categorized crimes by month and district. No details, no follow up, no way to verify accuracy. It's way too general to be useful.
Is there somewhere to browse detailed crime reports? Or would you have to file a FOIA/OPRA request to get access to specific things?

Is there a police blotter, incident database, or anything for Jersey City?
It seems like there are a lot of crimes and accidents that happen and nobody ever hears about them. The police respond, but there's no report in the papers or online. I think every Jersey City crime and incident should be in a publicly accessible, user-friendly database so that we can accurately monitor trends and demand action when necessary.

If it's any consolation, the countryside is noisy with motorcycles too. My partner and I just bought a weekend retreat 2 hrs from here and the scenic roads around our cabin are a magnet for the Harley guys. Just be thankful that you don't wake up to the sounds of target practice next door like I was this weekend.
There is no escaping the noise!

JCPD overtime Scam Scandal

Jersey City cops earn $6.6 million in overtime
"The five officers who earned the most overtime last year -- taking home a combined $333,355 in overtime alone -- all work in the radio room at the city's Public Safety Communications Center"-- a job can be done by a robot or a call center in India. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... y_cops_earn_66_milli.html I'm all for the Police. I respect what they do and happily pay my taxes to support them, however the criminals amongst them scamming overtime pay should be sentenced to hard core prison time for this grand theft. In terms of $$, these are amongst the worst crimes committed in Jersey City. 10k payouts to Healy are nothing compared to the scale of organized crime going on here.

This stinks to high heaven of corruption.
From the closure, to the attempted United Way scheme, to the current inability to provide an inventory, you can't help but smell the fishy funk emanating from this fiasco. They need a FBI investigation, not just an inventory.

The city and the fire department should be sued by the family of the second and third victim.
Why was nothing done after the first death? Kill someone once, shame on the landlord; Kill someone twice, shame on the city; Kill someone three times, well that's Jersey City for ya.
