City of Hoboken announces:
=&0=& As requested by the City ofThe County has brought in equipment and broken up the concrete and pavement that had fallen into the hole. The material has been moved inland against the bank to stabilize the soil and protect it from tidal action.
City of Hoboken announces:
=&0=& Residents are urged to take precautions, including moving vehicles from flood-prone areas, in advance of a Nor’easter storm predicted to impact our area beginning on Thursday, October 16. A storm alert has been issued for Thursday afternoon into Friday afternoon. Strong winds are expected to develop on Friday and continue into Saturday. High wind gusts in excess of 45 mph are possible. “With yet another storm fast approaching, I want to assure residents that for the first time in the history ofhttp://www.hobokennj.org/departments/environmental-services/storm-flood-zones/
Lenz for Council issued the following email:
4th Ward Councilman Mike Lenz is standing for the residents of the ward and bringing straight talk on how to lower taxes, fight overdevelopment, end flooding, and finally bring a park to the 4th Ward.
Despite his claims of independence, Tim Occhipinti is standing with the same people who overspent our budget, raised taxes, handed out zoning variances like Halloween candy, and did nothing to fix flooding.
Last night’s debate proved what we have been saying for this entire campaign. Tim is not ready for prime time and will impede progress. He has a dangerous lack of knowledge on the issues and during this pivotal point in Hoboken’s history, we can’t afford to let Tim have “on the job training.”
With all of Hoboken’a recurring infrastructure problems along the waterfront, the town certainly deserves some good news in this area. Pier C opened for a test drive last July and is still not available for public use. Some changes after the limited review came from the City Council but at this point the beautiful fall weather says the concerns about certain equipment being too hot and dangerous for children would no longer be problematic. Areas with problems could be cordoned off if necessary.
Thanks to the efforts of the Wiley Coyote, Eric Kurta, tonight’s debate will be available via a live stream on the Hoboken Journal and also the People for Open Government.
Time to put the spin aside and see who’s who and what’s what. Tune in for all the fun at 7:30 over with the jolly green giant:

It should be a grand old time. Spokesman, political operatives, supporters and Cammarano sycophants can do nothing now but wait until after the debate is over before they attempt to spin anew. Why let them, judge for yourself.

HOBOKEN TAKES ADDITIONAL PREVENTIVE MEASURES REGARDING SINATRA DRIVE NORTH
Earlier today, both Hudson County and the City of Hoboken announced a state of emergency regarding the Sinatra Drive North road collapse. The City of Hoboken is announcing additional measures regarding Sinatra Drive North in anticipation of a possible major storm predicted to hit the area.
“We are taking a series of proactive steps to ensure the safety of the public,” announced Mayor Dawn Zimmer. “My Administration has been working for the past year to repair our deteriorating waterfront, and our new engineer, Boswell Engineering, is following up on an initiative we started with the previous City engineer to fully evaluate the condition of the entire waterfront. They have also completed a geotechnical investigation of Sinatra Park and the Castle Point Park walkway, and design concepts are being finalized.”
Hoboken Mayor
Finally tonight we’ll get to hear words directly from the candidates with both on the stage together facing the voters. Up to this point, people have had mostly a filter of campaigns and other voices speaking for candidates from the mayor on behalf of Mike Lenz to former Freeholder Maurice Fitzgibbons backing Tim Occhipinti.
The debate scheduled for 7:30 at the Jubilee Center on 6th and Jackson is in the heart of where the machine generates its illicit paper ballots. So be prepared to hear an emotional, vocal, “locked-in” audience getting behind the challenger. That’s how the Old Guard rolls and they will be sure to have their bought and paid voices in attendance.
