BoE Post Mortem: Let’s Move Forward and let the recriminations begin

While the final tallies are not in for the Hoboken election and the BoE race, one Move Forward candidate has conceded and the finger pointing among the Old Guard has begun.

People are angry and bodies are flying right under under the Nazi Truck.
The Move Forward Nazi Truck strolling along in Hoboken last night.  The architects of its five visits are
revealed in a Grafix Avenger story today.  It’s of course Beth Mason’s money and another 

well known suspect connected closely to its operator.
Based on a story today by Grafix Avenger, the damn has already broken and the chatter is bitter, angry and despondent for the waste of time, energy and money that went into attacking her, MSV and extraneous folks such as council members Peter Cunningham, Jen Giattino with the mayor. Grafix Avenger lays out all the guts and innards of the Old Guard saying the hands on Nazi Truck coordinators were Beth Mason’s long time fishy political operative James Barracato and the person making the rental arrangements Move Forward co-campaign manager Joe Branco. None of this comes as a surprise to MSV.  Last night seeing the Move Forward TV commercial blasting away as the truck drove around uptown was nothing more than confirmation of what was detailed here from the beginning. People should note the only denial by Beth Mason in using her allowance money to underwrite the Nazi truck’s expensive video productions came via an anonymous political operative’s denial to the Hudson Reporter a week back. Not exactly a full-throated proclamation of innocence by Beth Mason was it?  Maybe some folks should take note of that and ask why she’s allowed to behave in such an abysmal fashion.  Okay here’s the insights into the full sordid details of the Nazi Truck and its five visits to Hoboken.  While Da Horsey was a star in two of the five visits that proved no bother unlike the assault on Washington Street, Grafix Avenger details more on all of it and a recording of the attack which we’ve been legally advised not to release here. Here’s the inside scoop exclusively detailed by GA: =&0=&

City on trash removal, power & gas restoration, parking, council meeting bumped

City of Hoboken announces:

Advisory: INFORMATION FOR RESIDENTS ON TRASH REMOVAL, POWER & GAS RESTORATION AND PARKING
Tonight’s City Council Meeting will be rescheduled to Tuesday, November 13 at 7pm due to the weather. 
TRASH REMOVAL INFORMATION 
The City has been running 8 to 10 extra garbage trucks every day in addition to the 3 regular trucks in order to deal with the overwhelming quantities of trash. Bobcats and other heavy equipment are being added to deal with the large amounts of trash. At the moment, residents are asked to postpone placing any more trash outside until the impending storm has passed. Further, they are asked delay throwing out bulk items if possible until crews are able to catch up with trash removal. All streets have had trash pickup, however large amounts of garbage continue to be placed on the curb immediately following each pickup as sidewalk space becomes available. If an area requires additional service, please submit a “trash” request via www.hoboken311.org
If you are gutting your apartment, please apply for a container permit: www.hobokennj.org/docs/env/Container-Permit.pdf
Residents are asked to place any storm-generated debris on the public right-of-way: the area of residential property that extends from the street to the sidewalk, ditch, utility pole or easement. 
Do not place debris near a water meter vault, fire hydrant or any other above-ground utility. Only debris placed on the public right-of-way will be eligible for collection until further notice. Please follow the normal garbage and recycling pickup schedule. No hazardous waste (including paint). No electronics. 
If all debris is not picked up during the initial pass, please continue to push remaining debris to the right-of-way for collection on subsequent passes. 
POWER & GAS RESTORATION INFORMATION 
Due to the impending storm, the mobile truck providing the phone lines for the Utility Help Line will be relocated and will no longer be operational. If you are without power and/or gas, your home or business may not be able to accept the service, and until it is certified as safe, PSE&G will not restore service. If you still do not have power, or if PSE&G has red tagged your home and shut off gas, please follow this process after calling PSE&G at 800-436-7734 (red tagging does not necessarily mean that new equipment is required, however the equipment must be inspected): 
1. Call a licensed electrician (power) or plumber (gas) – below is a list of contractors that have worked with our office that you may want to consider contacting if you do not have a contractor. 
2. After they complete an inspection and make any necessary repairs, they will let our construction office know (201-420-2066), who will then let PSE&G know to restore power or gas. The contractors on the list are all familiar with the process and our construction office. Due to the emergency nature of the situation, we have cut the red tape and paperwork typically involved in this process to make sure power and gas can be restored as quickly as possible. 
The contractors have been instructed to immediately inform our Construction Code Office once you have been cleared to receive service. Once our construction office receives word that your home has been inspected and is safe, they immediately contact PSE&G to instruct them to restore service. 
NOTE: We are providing this partial list only to facilitate connecting residents as quickly as possible to services needed to restore gas and electricity. This partial list of contractors is not affiliated, endorsed, or approved by the City in any way, nor does the City make any representation or warranties, express or otherwise, in connection with the quality of the services any of them may provide. Residents may use any state licensed plumber or electrician. Licensed contractors who wish to be added to this public list may contact the Construction Office at 201-420-2066.

All permits and changes can be made through www.hobokennj.org/hpuonline or at the HPU office in the basement of City Hall.
