Why? Do all the students live within walking distance? From the Learning Community thread: "Also, since JC buses, if there is not a school bus that goes there, the parents are reimbursed for the transportation to that school. (the reimbursement is not just for charter/public schools, but even private or religious schools.) It's sponsored by the state." Doesn't really seem like an insurmountable problem. As far as staff, if a move across town is all it takes for them to quit, I'd say their students' adoration is misplaced. LCCS families are following their school. But if GDCS can't afford the rent, how are they going to afford a mortgage? Or do they expect the city to sell at a bargain price? If the city has to sell, I would hope it would be to the highest bidder if for no other reason than to pay off the bonds used to build it. Taxpayers paid for the building, pay for the bonds, and pay for the school. Enough is enough.

"The debate will be taped and broadcast on Comcast Channel 190". Not getting Channel 190, I don't really consider that "televised".
Check out Pat's website (http://www.patsshows.com/) - the side menu has a link "Manzo for Jersey City" which takes you to a page that says: "Louis M. Manzo has spent his entire life in Jersey City and his entire career working to make our area a better place to live, work and raise a family. It's been Lou's personal mission to touch the daily lives of the public he serves. Accordingly, the door to his advocacy office is always open to anyone in need of assistance. Check out his web site at manzo4jerseycity.com" That's as fair and balanced as Fox News. Whatever you think of Healy, no politician is going to walk into a setup like that.

People need to get over this whole "LSC is in Jersey City" crap. We went through it with "Newport City" in the 80's and it was stupid then. Besides, once their ineptitude and mismanagement drives them out of business, will we even want to acknowledge their presence here? Another nontroversy.

You gotta be in it to win it. Being the brave reformer who never compromises and loses the election is a load of crap that accomplishes nothing. Fulop is doing what he has to to maintain his political career. As for his remarks about Manzo, those were stupid and immature (although very likely accurate) and he should have known better. Ah, youth. I don't remember him "promising" to run for Mayor, but when you compare his $250,000 and a ragtag band of clipboard wielding activists against Healy's $1M and professional operatives, it was a no-brainer not to try for Mayor. He would have lost and been out of the game for at least 4 years. Ask Bret Schundler how easy it is to get back in. Bret who? Exactly.

A bigger part is that the JJ has never demanded the same sort of accountability that everyone everywhere suddenly seems to be clamoring for. Throughout my history of reading the JJ, I always find myself thinking "they're asking the wrong questions", "why don't they follow up?", and "why are they letting him/her off the hook like that?". And that applies to ALL of their reporters, including the well-past-his-prime Earl Morgan, whose prime, frankly, wasn't all that. Civic activists through the years have taken the initiative and time to learn how city government works (and you can always tell from their posts which have and which haven't), is it too much to ask that someone whose job it is to report on government do the same? Apparently at the JJ, it is. No the JJ's wounds are self-inflicted, and subscribing or buying more copies just encourages more mediocrity (although at times, aspiring to mediocrity would be a step up for the JJ) and delays the inevitable. Yes, it's always unfortunate for a major urban area not to have an experienced, reliable, unbiased source of news, but in Jersey City's case, we haven't had that for many, many years.

I wouldn't judge JC's activists by their support or lack of support of the JJ. It's been the activists who for years have been calling for the paper to improve its coverage of local politics AND activists. And it's been the JJ that refused to follow through - activists don't buy ads, I guess.
As for imagining the 2nd largest city in NJ without a paper, how would it be any different? It's been years since we've had a real one. Except for the comics, that rag won't be missed.

It would be nice to have some specifics and please don't refer us to ELEC reports and "no need to go into details", because without those details it's just "he said she said". On the other hand, the councilman's unwillingness or inability to work with his colleagues on the council has made downtown less powerful than it should be in local politics. Gathering signatures and threatening a referendum worked once, but it's no way to legislate effectively. Neither is being on the losing end of 8-1 and 7-2 votes but being able to say "I was right". Politics is about results, not (sadly) principles.

Don't forget: Healy cost the Cunningham team a clean sweep of at-large seats (beating Carl Czaplicki, I think). Manzo threw his support to Cunningham in the 2001 runoff, expected to be part of the team, and got shut out by Glenn's handlers. Fulop was recruited by Glenn to run against Menendez after Glenn's handlers decided that he should be top dog in Hudson County and that it was alright to call Menendez (arguably his most powerful supporter) a "domestic terrorist". Fulop supported Manzo against Sandra Cunningham for Glenn's state senate seat. O, what a tangled web. But always entertaining.

A true cynic would think that Mr. Joshua was backed by the HCDO or Manzo to siphon off voters from Fulop's demographic. Look at the field so far: Steve Fulop: strength of incumbency, lots of support and cash - his to lose Jaime Vazquez: former councilman, latino, purple heart veteran - not without some appeal Guy Catrillo: artistic type, deep roots - not without, admittedly eccentric, appeal Joshua Levitt: yuppie, environmentalist - probably has some friends (maybe secret ones ) Frank Scalcione: run on sentence creator, incoherent message board poster, clueless pizza maker - but still a hometown boy We still have to hear from Manzo, Smith, and Levin. AND, no one has turned in petitions yet. Depending on turnout, the result or runoff could be decided by only a few hundred votes. Don't be cynical - embrace the insanity

But retired, nonetheless. More to come as Manzo and Smith fill out their tickets, I'm sure.

6 anti-Healy posts in what, 2 days? And a week after Manzo announced? No, that's not a troll. As for crime, I don't what rat-infested hellhole you live in, but (as long as we're posting unsupported generalities) my neighborhood is close-knit and safe. I bet most JC residents (again, unsupported generalities like "this city is crime ridden") feel the same way. My favorite line? "Manzo has come out against crime, none of the other candidates have." I guess that means all the other candidates are pro-crime. Hmmm, an interesting position. I assume Manzo is anti-litter and pro-goodness?
