You don’t say – almost 545 vote by mail ballots out there!

MILE SQUARE VIEW EXCLUSIVE

While much of Hoboken is not paying attention to the November 2nd special election for the fourth ward – the only ‘noise’ on the ballot is for Congress and County Sheriff, a war is going on in the back of town as promised by Frank Raia.

That war focused on the corner of town where the Hoboken Housing Authority is based has been extremely busy.  Why you could almost feel the pulse of a campaign back there although the rest of Hoboken is practically silent.

MSV is confirming that vast majority of vote by mail ballots are based from this corner of Hoboken.  Although there’s been misdirected attacks made against Da Horsey and our colleague at the the Hoboken Journal for shining some light on this aspect of “voting” by a certain political faction wishing you wouldn’t look there, here’s the facts.

City of Hoboken announces:

=&0=&

The City of Hoboken announced today that the pilot implementation of multi-space meters along the east side of Washington Street has resulted in dramatically improved auditing capabilities for coin collections and shows a nearly 30 percent increase in revenue.  The results of the eight week pilot implementation conclusively demonstrate that multi-space meters do exactly what they were promised to do by Transportation and Parking Director Ian Sacs; namely, improve accountability and increase revenue.

Guest of the Stable: Justin L. DePascale



I am writing this letter to lend support to my friend Tim Occhipinti for the upcoming election on November 2, 2010, in the 4th ward.  

Tim represents so many thousands of Hoboken residents that look for honest government, respect for tradition, and a government that works on behalf of its people.  I found it remarkable that Hoboken unfortunately had to pay a 6 million dollar tax increase to Hudson County, an increase that Occhipinti would have fought against.  I found it amazing to learn that Michael Lenz was hired by Hudson County, given a raise, a credit for health insurance, and also holds an important position in terms of Hudson County politics.  Like Occhipinti I started to think about how this would affect the city of Hoboken.  I then also learned that neither Michael Lenz, who claims to have great concern for the city’s finances, nor Mayor Zimmer did anything to try to appeal the largest tax increase of any city in Hudson County, in the history of county government. To date, there has been no appeal and no lawsuit against the county for this incredible increase (as Bayonne and Secaucus have done in ht past).  How are we not to believe that the involvement of Michael Lenz in the Hudson County political machine is somehow preventing this appeal?

Tim goes on the hunt again, goes for the wedge – attack Soares time!

Occhipinti for Council announces:

Dear Friends,

Throughout his campaign Michael Lenz has continuously attacked my friends and campaign supporters, including many non-political private citizens. He does this as a way to deflect attention away from the own gross manipulation of city government to give jobs to his friends and supporters.

Several months ago Michael Lenz cast the deciding vote, which gave former City Councilman Tony Soares, a Lenz campaign strategist and close friend, a second public job with free healthcare at the North Hudson Sewerage Authority. The move was even condemned by Mayor Dawn Zimmer. Read More...

New BM video announces her re-election

Coming on the heels of the fourth ward special election, actually nipping at its feet as the candidates try to move forward, Councilwoman Mason does what she does best, try to center the attention back on herself.

We can only guess she told Tim Occhipinti she’ll make it up to him with greenbacks.  Or maybe she just told him to be quiet and keep following her stated political reality that too often is no true reality at all.  In this video, BM takes credit for the recent county work paving Hoboken roads.  Why?  Because she can, that’s why.

You want more? No? We’ll she’s here to say yes, more! Mason going for 2nd ward again

Dear Friend,             Over the past four years we have worked together to continue to make the 2nd Ward a better place to live and raise a family. I am very proud of the things we have accomplished, but there is more to do. Most importantly we need to make sure we use the current budget surplus to lower our property taxes.              That is why I am taking this opportunity to announce my candidacy for re-election to the Hoboken City Council.   I hope you’ll consider supporting me.   In the coming weeks I will launch my re-election website and introduce my platform. I am looking forward to an exciting campaign.              I look forward to seeing you soon. As always do not hesitate to contact me if you are in need of any assistance at (201)-916-8244 orBeth@MasonCityCouncil.org.             Thank you for your time.
Councilwoman Beth Mason gets the jump on
November 3rd announcing now.

Congressional Candidate Henrietta Dwyer ‘Albio what bridge are you trying to sell us?’

Henrietta Dwyer for Congress campaign announces:


The 13th district needs competent and responsive representation.

Congressman Sires boasted to the Star Ledger this week that improvements to the Bayonne Bridge would create 150,000 new jobs. That’s almost 10 times the people it took to construct the Hoover Dam! Our district can no longer afford a congressman who remains aloof from his constituents and oblivious to the economic realities our country faces. Henrietta Dwyer commented on her opponent’s statement this morning.

“I strongly support improvements to our roads and bridges and I also support our small businesses and the jobs they create. Improvements to the Bayonne Bridge are not going to employ 150,000 people or even one tenth that number. Unfortunately, comments like this explain my opponent’s warped view of our economy.”

Albio Sires has given the people of the 13th District uninspiring and feckless leadership when he has given any at all.  He has refused to address the voters and the issues. Every constituent deserves a representative they can depend on.  Henrietta Dwyer stands ready to fill the leadership void.

“This campaign is about more than ribbon cutting ceremonies. With record unemployment in our district it’s time to focus on creating jobs.  Our district needs the kind of jobs that can build and maintain economic recovery. My opponent’s fantasies can not sustain us.”

There is only one candidate in this race that is committed to listening to the people and committed to more jobs for this district, Henrietta Dwyer. Candidate Dwyer renews her call for her opponent to debate the issues.  

“I travel up and down this district every day and listen to the real concerns of the voters. The people I speak to are trying to make ends meet. My campaign is about them and it’s well past time we focused on their concerns. My pledge to the voters is that I will work hard, work smart, and work honorably to bring jobs back to our district.”

About Henrietta Dwyer 
Ms. Dwyer was born in Jersey City, grew up in downtown Union City, and has lived in West New York for the past thirty-five years.  As a lifelong resident of Hudson County, she calls this district home. She received her undergraduate, and Masters Degree from St. Peter’s College and professionally, served as the marketing director of a major New York University Hospital.

NJ.com picks up the online political “ad” hits

Katie Colaneri who has been doing some pretty professional work since her arrival on the local scene highlighted the new wave of online political communications by local political mavens on youtube.  She highlights two pieces and interviews a professor at Stevens who states this is the wave of the future in political advertising.

Well that’s true in the sense that they are easily transmitted at no cost.  But the real skill is in doing so with adequate entertainment value that communicates both insight, fact and hits the funny bone.  Greg Bond the creator of the “Tim Occhipinti sings,” hits the mark on all three counts.
