A two month sprint for four major mayoral candidates and council candidacies in the vicinity of a baker’s dozen or more is set to take on the Mile Square City. All told, Hoboken can expect to see six mayoral candidates and perhaps 14 council candidates.

The City Clerk’s Office will be active as last minute petition filings for both mayor and council candidacies are submitted with maybe a surprise in store with one if not both.

Election Day is two months away and the preliminaries are over. The plotting, scheming and downright nasty fabricating already started over the weekend with false accusations at Sybil’s Cave. Censorship remedied the falsity or did it? Read More...

Woe begone to a farm animal who must labor on this of all days. So this one won’t.

As it’s a time for rest, recharging and relaxation, sadly for others it’s a time to lie, lie again and lie some more. Couldn’t those lies wait until after the holiday weekend? Apparently not.

So the record will be asserted and the lies will be trampled in short order. Your religious beliefs aside, elevating your candidate to exalted status will be shown a false idol. That you would embrace the stupidity of the campaign, its shadow operative and throw friends under the bus is most unfortunate. Read More...

MSV’s exclusive story Friday leading into the holiday weekend publishing Councilman Ravi Bhalla’s email letter set off alarm bells within the Bhalla campaign at Sybil’s Cave. Having not ventured there in recent weeks with its hyperventilating and heavy panting on behalf of its candidate, word filtered back it went completely bonkers with a bevy of unsubstantiated personal attacks. Lots of dumb accusations and a pathetic inability to argue where the MSV story is anywhere inaccurate. Read More...

In a story published by Hudson County View confirming MSV’s earlier report, City Council members stated there’s little interest in voting to approve a Suez water contract presented by Mayor Zimmer.

Councilman Ravi Bhalla in a letter yesterday to City Council members informed them he would be recusing himself from any pending vote on the contract.

MSV noted earlier the opposition to the Suez water contract presented by the Administration was DOA based on three council members seeking further financial details. Eight of the nine members will decide as Councilman Ravi Bhalla will not be voting after recusing himself from all matters connected to the proposed Suez contract. Read More...

News A tale of two ballot positions challenged 08/29/201701/22/2021 by SmartyJones1 Min Reading Hudson County View yesterday posted a news story of a North Bergen attorney challenging a Hoboken mayoral and freeholder candidate appearing this November on the ballot twice. The story doesn’t mention why a North Bergen attorney is so fascinated with Anthony “Stick” Romano. The attorney, Eric Dixon is quoted saying: “It is my view that this candidate is not merely prohibited from holding two elected offices, but also prohibited from being a candidate for two elected offices in the same election,” North Bergen attorney Eric Dixon wrote in an August 22nd letter to the office’s of the Hudson County Clerk and the state Attorney General. “In addition, the adverse consequences of this dual candidacy will be severe to residents of the jurisdictions in which this candidate seeks two offices; if he wins both contests, residents – his constituents – would be deprived of all representation for one full year in the one office the candidate would be prevented from accepting.” The petition filing deadline is a week from today and no one anticipates the Hoboken City Clerk’s Office won’t be accepting petitions for mayor from the Romano for mayor campaign.
