As reported in NJ.com:
A Jersey City man has been charged with calling in a bomb threat to the Hoboken University Medical Center Sunday after police tracked the call to a pay phone six blocks away, authorities said. Eliezer Ocasio, 39, wasn’t hard to find, either. After Hoboken police identified him as the caller, Jersey City police picked him up on an unrelated incident, Hoboken Lt. Danilo Cabrera said. Ocasio was charged with making terroristic threats and two counts of false public alarm…

Talking Ed Note: Similar violent actions have been taking place across the country against court complexes, federal buildings, monuments, churches and now hospitals?
Will the alleged bomber use the “protesting” defense gaining much political popularity these days?
The following statement was issued on behalf of Councilman Mike DeFusco:
Councilman DeFusco: Mayor Bhalla’s Veto of Bike Storage Plan Continues Administration’s Unwillingness to Work with City CouncilDuring the July 8 City Council meeting, an ordinance sponsored by Councilman Mike DeFusco and Councilwoman Tiffanie Fisher to allow Hoboken residents to store their bicycles in Municipal Garages for $1 a week was approved on second reading. With a 7-2 vote in favor of the plan, the piece of legislation was then sent to Mayor Ravi Bhalla to sign, only to be vetoed nine days later.

Mayor Ravi Bhalla put up his 10% tax increase for the City Council to digest after months of delay but at least one council member is distressed by the lack of fiscal restraint displayed.
Councilwoman Vanessa Falco described waking up to a “political headache” after the last meeting focused on the 2020 budget.
In a Facebook post, the councilwoman offered “budget presented months late… operating on budget deficit yet professional services contracts for lawyers, engineers and consultants most of which we have in house (are approved in the “thousands” and)… approving police chief raise for next year…”
Governor Murphy, a national leader in nursing facility deaths after ordering infected people there creating killing fields is about to issue an order to New Jersey’s nine million residents to wear masks in public.

The Karens are creaming in delight already at the prospect of government showing central control but the nine million residents of New Jersey may not find it so endearing.
New Jersey has seen the curve of the pandemic with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Virus mostly pass. The key statistic of deaths in the state shows how mortality has plummeted.
After proddings over months from the Hoboken City Council, Mayor Ravi Bhalla is now ready to introduce the Hoboken 2020 budget.
But first he had to spin it in a preplanned release to media and political operatives.
After the full City Council later received a look, the budget is officially presented at $118 million for 2020 with a 10% tax increase, or a shade under, officially at 9.8% according to a report on Hudson County View.
What’s presented to the Hoboken public is an odd circumvention of reality as Ravi Bhalla looks to claim the Hudson County tax decrease for redemption while pointing to the pandemic for the shortfall.
A Hudson County Sheriff’s vehicle announces the police presence at Columbus Park with its nearby Columbus statue. Ravi Bhalla and a council ally reportedly seek to replace it with one of Maria Pepe, the first girl who played Little League baseball in Hoboken back in 1972. However, another Bhalla council ally denied any knowledge of the effort. |
