Before you get excited by the prospect of justice reaching the Mile Square, what’s on trial is simply one of Beth Mason’s lawsuits – this one being against her council colleagues and the City to overturn the appointment of Jim Doyle to the at-large council seat last month.
A showdown delayed by Hurricane Sandy occurs today at 2:00 in Jersey City where a Hudson County judge will review New Jersey law surrounding what constitutes a legal voting majority on the City Council to backfill an appointment on the body.Read More...

We are sad to announce that Anastasia’s Accessories sustained significant damage from Hurricane Sandy.
While we managed to save most of our merchandise, our losses were great. Our front door, some inventory, our counter, cabinets, flooring, supplies, furniture, and fixtures were all destroyed or damaged.
Having only rebuilt a year ago from flooding as a result of Hurricane Irene, this time we have decided not to rebuild.
We have had the extreme pleasure of helping you and your friends and family shop for many beautiful items over 24 years and we are offering you one last chance to do so.
We are open for business for just a few weeks to liquidate our inventory and display items. Please visit the store, make your final purchases, talk over old times and help us to celebrate 24 amazing years!
Hope to see you all!

Mayor Dawn Zimmer held an interview yesterday with NJTV and discussed the impact of Hurricane Sandy on Hoboken and the challenges of Hoboken residents who suffered heavy losses noting those who live in Garden level apartments held insurance policies lacking coverage for potentially thousands of primary residences.
She discussed how the City is working to develop support for individuals and businesses as Louisiana did after Hurricane Katrina with RebuildHoboken.org.
The interview begins at the 6:30 mark. You can scroll ahead.Read More...
Based on a report by PolitickerNJ, the Boys of Summer have struck in Hudson County once again – this time it’s up on the hill from Hoboken in Union City.
According to the report, the FBI have swarmed against “alleged misappropriation of Community Development Block grant dollars.”
The report also notes the raid comes with the backdrop of a political war in Hudson County between the Hudson County Democratic Organization (HCDO) and “renegade” Union City and State Senator Brian Stack.Read More...
Without final tallies in the biggest winner in the election locally is not a candidate but a petition question – the Vote Yes for November Committee garnered over 8,400 votes to move municipal elections to November.
The next Hoboken municipal election will be in November 2013 when the mayor and three at-large council seats will be up.
There’s only one word to describe that outcome: landslide.
Here’s Phil Cohen, a member of the committee extending thanks to the public for their support:Read More...
Landlords are responsible for restoring power, heat and making repairs. If they do not make repairs, the City will issue fines of $1,000 per day. If you have an unresponsive landlord, please contact the following three city offices which have jurisdiction over such matters:
Health Division: 201-420-2047 Construction Office: 201-420-2066 Housing Inspection: 201-420-2041
The City Council will be meeting for the first time since Hurricane Sandy slammed into town. The City will be looking to approve an emergency communications contract for voice and data for the Hoboken Police Department. It’s part of the antiquated communications earmarked for improvement at City Hall with the Police communications failing before the storm arrived.
The City will seek a $700,000 emergency appropriation to deal with the cost of repair and cleanup after the storm. Additional contracts for debris cleanup and removal are also on tonight’s agenda including for the Fire Department’s facilities. Read More...
Tonight the delayed City Council meeting will take place. There will be discussion of gratitude to the first responders and the volunteers who turned out by the hundreds with calls to assist by City Hall on its Facebook page, twitter and also Hoboken Girl and Hoboken Patch.
There’s a lot of credit to go around. The City was and is in respects in crisis suffering a storm of the century when Hurricane Sandy landed a direct hit on New Jersey.
Whoever gets accolades deserves it. Everyone who does obviously won’t. Da Horsey witnessed some of it and has heard more from others. As one example, Councilwoman Jen Giattino saw massive damage to her home in midtown. It didn’t stop her from turning over those problems to her husband who tended to those matters with three young boys as she went out daily to assist others, mostly people who didn’t live in her ward.
She did it because it was work that needed to be done.
If it wasn’t cited here, it probably never would and in no way does MSV seek to diminish the efforts from countless others who put their bodies out on the streets to help in innumerable ways.
As a City, we all need to extend thanks to one another for answering the call. The universe however is always running a tab and keeping score.
This community has done far better than others and it can be proud of the efforts of many.
MSV would like to commend them all. Thank you for standing tall for Hoboken.
While not quite as obvious this time, Mayor Dawn Zimmer went Rambo on another Hurricane. This time she was joined by an army of volunteers from near and far and Hoboken public safety working to the bone.
