Next week the full out battle for the heart and soul of Hoboken commences when Mayor Zimmer and her council at-large ticket of Jim Doyle, Dave Mello and Ravi Bhalla open their campaign office on 1st and Garden Street.

Mayor Zimmer and the incumbent council members will have a strong record along with a place to spread word how they saved Hoboken University Medical Center and with it over 1,000 jobs and the fiscal life of Hoboken for one.

For another, they brought true fiscal responsibility in the City’s annual budgets cutting spending and reducing taxes every single year at the helm.

They did this with a non-stop barrage of hostility from the Old Guard City Council members and their entrenched allies who seek to get back on the gravy train.

The campaign’s email:

Talking Ed Note: Campaign season is official with word of the latest Masonic push poll over at Grafix Avenger.  MSV understands the failed 2009 Beth Mason campaign theme “One Hoboken” is fully incorporated in her vessel, Timmy Occhipinti’s mayoral campaign.

Beth Mason received the bad news from the Frank “Pupie” Raia poll in June she’d sooner be voted dog catcher in Hoboken before mayor but neither is possible before hell freezes over.

Enter the reliably compliant Timmy Occhipinti, a Beth Mason Old Guard creation in the spirit if not intellect of Peter Cammarano.

Monday night the battle of Hoboken’s grass roots vs. Old Guard loot (or is it looters) goes mano a mano.
Hoboken’s future is in your hands. Seize it.
