Time for another episode of the City Council sagas.  Hoboken is of course a live theater far more entertaining than most network television and your master of ceremonies Councilman Michael Russo almost never fails to entertain (as long as it’s not you seeing your tax dollars go up in smoke).

Tonight is an unusual meeting with a light agenda but don’t think it won’t mean there’s no fun and games.  Hoboken election season is all about fun and games and the Hoboken Sopranos live for this. Read More...

The Eli Manning – Mayor Zimmer fundraising effort at the Madison latter this month is not only going viral in town – it’s gone national.

The Huffington Post picked up MSV’s announcement last night today reporting: Giants quaterback Eli Manning will appear at a fundraiser for Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer later this month. New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is jumping into New Jersey politics, hosting an expensive football watching fundraiser for Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer (D) later this month. Zimmer’s campaign is circulating invitations to the high-dollar event, featuring Manning and his wife, Abby, PolitickerNJ.com reported. Held on Sept. 30 at a bar in Hoboken, the fundraiser will feature football along with politics. Eli and Abby Manning live in Hoboken. According to the invitation, which was posted on local political blog Mile Square View, admission to a VIP reception is $1,000 a head or $1,500 a couple, while the general reception is $500 a head or $750 a couple. The Mannings are billed as Zimmer’s “special guests” for the event.  To read the complete Huffington Post story see the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/17/eli-manning-dawn-zimmer_n_3941741.html =&0=&: While NY Giants Quarterback Eli Manning’s working with Mayor Zimmer is national news, don’t expect to see a word about it on Beth Mason sponsored Hoboken411.  Hoboken drew national media attention with the infamous Nazi Truck last November seeing coverage on the Huffington Post for the repeated display of a Nazi swastika all over town.   Local rabbis publicly requested an apology for the actions but none was forthcoming.  

Councilwoman Beth Mason who hosted the campaign responsible last November has never said a word on underwriting the endeavor although it’s been linked directly to one of her long time political operatives. Read More...

In the two years since the parade was cancelled by the parade committee which refused to hold it on a Wednesday as requested by Mayor Zimmer, the level of criminality and injuries arriving at the local hospital and alleged criminal activity has dropped dramatically.
