BREAKING: Mayor Ravi Bhalla’s construction union allies attack Councilman Jim Doyle

Last Friday, Ravi Bhalla submitted an op-ed in NorthJersey.com promoting the massive NJ Transit redevelopment in downtown Hoboken. The press release type promotion on behalf of the long-feared development alarmed many Mile Square City residents.

The attack ad seen last night concludes saying it’s “paid for by ELEC 825.” It’s the same union featured on MSV last year pushing for voters to elect Ravi Bhalla mayor. |
Talking Ed Note Update: Late Friday afternoon and City Hall is closing up for the weekend and nothing but silence from Mayor Ravi Bhalla.
Not. A. Word.
Over at the Cave, a limp cover-up attempt put forward by the mayor’s office claims Ravi Bhalla decried the attack on Councilman Jim Doyle. Yet, the MSV exclusive has been out ALL DAY, everyone has seen it, other media are covering the story and not even a statement has been issued on behalf of Ravi Bhalla let alone him making a public statement.
We’re going to need a better coverup. This flacid one simply won’t do.
Talking Ed Note: Poor Jim Doyle. He refused to flip-flop on his vote on the Hilton Hotel, unlike Ravi Bhalla. The Mile Square City is abuzz over the intimidation against Doyle, the City Council and anyone who dares to oppose big development deals that clearly lie ahead.
It’s almost as threatening against Doyle, the City Council and Hoboken as the Ravi Terror Flyer last year.
