Osborne is the only council candidate who crossed the 50 percent threshold necessary to avoid a runoff, winning 64 percent of the vote tonight to Dan Levin's 23 percent. Fletcher Gensamer, the third candidate, won 8 percent.

epps doesn't have 50% of the vote; to get elected the candidate has to have 50% + 1 vote ... hence run-off ...

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy just called the election for challenger Steven Fulop.
"If there is anything I can do to help him out after the transition, I stand ready, willing, and able to do it," Healy said. His comments drew cheers from a tearful crowd at his Oakland Avenue headquarters. The crowd chanted back "We love you, mayor." "Thank you all and God bless you all, by the way, I am still going to Casino in the Park," the mayor said, referring to the Jersey City catering house where a celebration was planned. When he called the race the screen in the front of the room read, "Fulop 52.1 percent of the vote (14,675 votes), while Healy tallied 38.6 percent (10,860 votes.)

the link is working, the page however is dead ...
from nj.com The mood is hushed and people are speaking in whispers at Mayor Jerramiah Healy?s packed campaign headquarter at Oakland Avenue and Fleet Street in Jersey City Height where people are inputting vote tallies and a screen at the front of the room shows candidate Steven Fulop with 48 percent of the vote and Healy with 42 percent at 8:30 p.m. At 8:30 p.m., Healy was not yet at the headquarters where key campaign officials are in a back room. Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith made his way through the crowd and into the back room at about 8:15 p.m. The crowd is spilling out the door onto Fleet Street. The totals flashed on the screen showed Fulop with 4,670 votes, Healy with 4,070, Jerry Walker with 835, and Abdul Malik, the fourth mayoral candidate, with 109. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... q_tally.html#incart_river

frankly, as long as the healy squad is littering the city- and streetscape with signs, they won't have time to stuff the ballot box ... and in the great scheme of things, a stuffed ballot box is worse than a few annoyingly placed signs endorsing healy ...

having used both tailor's touch and decarlo's, my vote is with decarlo, with a few caveats.
1. if he says one week, that means at least 10 days. 2. during the summer, one week may actually be two weeks. 3. he overprices small alterations that he doesn't want to do (there is nothing wrong with that), BUT 1. the quality of his work is outstanding. 2. i have bought in several cheap suits that were one size too big. in each case, he was able to cut the suit down to size and shape it quite elegantly. 3. he ropes the arms (and does it by hand). 4. he can recut suit arms to make the button holes operable, which is not a simple feat 5. he has recut pleated pants to nom-pleated. 6. the quality of his work is outstanding. Small alterations are not his strengths, but they pay his bills ...

I think we are underestimating Healy.
1. All publicity is good publicity. 2. If a pudgy half-naked 60-something attracts 3 younger ladies (I make some assumptions here - I just don't know how this would have played out if the ladies were improperly equipped), clearly he has a certain bravado, machismo, "je ne said pas de quoi", animal magnetism, alpha wolf-ability that most of us just don't have or normally cannot have. 3. And, if he has that bravado, he could demonstrate the leadership that this city so surely needs; and not only this city, but the state and the nation, if not the world. I was supporting Fulop, but during the weekend, these evolving events made me think. Obviously, a vote for Healy gives hope for all 60-somethings; you can still attract 3 younger women.

the bookstore piece
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001 ... 04578396903062068488.html NY CULTURE Updated April 7, 2013, 10:43 p.m. ET A New Jersey 'Destination for Books' By JENNIFER WEISS A neighborhood that recently got its first independent general-interest bookstore in years is about to get a second. Word, the?popular Brooklyn bookstore, is planning to open a new ocation in downtown Jersey City this summer. When mother and daughter Carol and Aleta Valleau opened Tachair Bookshoppe last summer, their slogan was "Jersey City needs a bookstore." And it did. The area has lost several booksellers in recent years, including a Barnes & Noble in Hoboken and a B. Dalton and small independent bookstore/gift shop in Jersey City, leaving buyers of new books little choice but to travel or shop online. Tachair, Scottish Gaelic for "meet," became a rarity in New Jersey's Hudson County, selling new and used books and hosting events, author readings and classes. Now, a second independent bookstore is coming to the neighborhood: Word, a popular Brooklyn shop also known for its community events, is planning to open a new location soon on downtown Jersey City's Newark Avenue, less than half a mile from Tachair. Word's New Jersey outpost will be a 2,200-square-foot bookstore-cafe big enough for the buzziest of authors, and best-selling music and culture writer Chuck Klosterman is scheduled to read from his new book at Word's grand opening on July 9. Second Act for Some Independent Bookstores The competing independent bookstores will present a test of Jersey City's rapidly gentrifying downtown neighborhood, which has drawn an upscale, artsy crowd of transplants priced out of Manhattan and Brooklyn in recent years. Jersey City may have needed a bookstore but can it support two? The owners of both Word and Tachair said they believe the answer is yes. "I hope that there's room for all of us, it seems like there's room for all of us," said Christine Onorati, who owns Word with her husband, Vincent. "I think it's just a positive thing." "With two bookstores, sort of the bookends on Newark Avenue, we can draw a crowd between us," Tachair's Carol Valleau said. Jersey City, she added, could become "a destination for books." Word would add to a growing number of independent shops dotting the downtown Jersey City landscape, including Tachair, fashion boutiques and dessert shops, along with well-known New York names such as Barcade, Two Boots pizza and the gift shop Mxyplyzyk. Restaurants such as Thirty Acres and Madame Claude Cafe have garnered foodie accolades. Ms. Onorati said she and her husband chose to expand Word into Jersey City after seeing the success their relatives had with Roman Nose, an Italian restaurant next door to the vacant building where they plan to open. The location is a stone's throw from the Grove Street Path station and the foot traffic it generates. Ms. Onorati said Word would be different from Tachair, selling a wide variety of new books at full retail price. The Roman Nose would provide food for Word's cafe. Tachair (pronounced tah-HAIR) offers used paperbacks for $3 and hardcovers for $5 along with a small, curated selection of new books. It serves coffee and pastries, and its collection is largely based on what the Valleaus learned about Jersey City preferences while selling used books at markets in the past. Like Word, it hosts events, including a recent poetry reading that drew 20 people. Ms. Onorati said people who want a place to bring used books and buy books cheaper will still go to Tachair. She compared the situation to Word's in Greenpoint, where it coexists with several other book sellers in adjacent neighborhoods. She said she sees the competition as complementary. In some ways, Word and Tachair will be similar. Both take pride in making recommendations to customers. "It's not always just about getting exactly what you want," Aleta Valleau said. "It's about finding what you what." Such niceties help fuel the unusual economics of independent book sellers. Even as large retailers such as Barnes & Noble retrench and the rise of digital publishing and online sales continues, independent bookstores are gaining a stronger foothold, particularly in New York, said Oren Teicher, CEO of the American Booksellers Association, an independent bookseller trade association that is gaining members. "The picture for us is nowhere near as bleak as often gets expressed," he said, attributing it in part to the "really unique role that [independent bookstores] play in the communities in which they are found." New bookstores have popped up in recent years in Fort Greene, Prospect Heights and most recently, Bushwick. "There was a realistic fear that the neighborhood couldn't necessarily support two bookstores at this point," said Matthew Winn, who opened Molasses Books last June in Bushwick, banking on the fact that no other book shops were nearby. Then, another one, Human Relations, opened within a month. But the stores are different enough, Mr. Winn said, that people go to each for different reasons. "I think we're both doing OK," Mr. Winn said. Jersey City resident Nick Urban, 29 years old, said he found it encouraging that another bookstore was opening, particularly one with a cafe. "I don't think it'll be a problem," he said as he browsed books at Tachair, where he sometimes brings his laptop and sits and works for hours. "Have you ever seen the Starbucks on Grove Street? You can't even sit down in there."

if you stay downtown, you can take the PATH and the subway ... you save the driving (gas, toll, parking, depreciation, parking tickets) etc ... and you can raise your budget.
