From the desk of Councilman Ravi Bhalla:
Dear Friends and Neighbors – I am writing to provide a brief update on some happenings in Hoboken and let you know about a few great community events. Community Fundraiser for Mayor Zimmer on Wednesday I am proud to be a host for a community fundraiser tomorrow, Wednesday, June 8 for Mayor Dawn Zimmer. Please bring your neighbors and friends and join us at the Pilsener Haus & Biergarten from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The cost is only $25 and tickets are available here. Smoother Ride on Washington Street Ahead I’m very happy to inform you that Washington Street will be re-surfaced this fall, and the work will be completed by the summer of 2017. In addition to a smoother ride for drivers, the street will be safer for pedestrians and cyclists. The re-design will include new street lighting, synchronized traffic signals, pedestrian countdown timers at crosswalks, and bike lanes. The City Council unanimously voted last week to approve a $12 million bond for the repairs. Safer waterfront walkway also coming I was fortunate to have led the effort to create a safe walkway for pedestrians and bikers along the city’s waterfront on Sinatra Drive near the Union Dry Dock property. The City has installed a temporary eight-foot wide walkway with cones and barricades, and after positive reviews, a permanent multi-use path will be installed this summer. I was very happy to hear feedback from residents who are already enjoying this added amenity and look forward to seeing the final product of this benefit for Hoboken. Hoboken Arts and Music Festival The Hoboken Arts and Music Festival, which was postponed earlier this year, will be held this Sunday, June 12from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The 22nd Annual Festival takes place on Washington Street between Observer Highway and 7th Street, and admission is free. Over 300 artists, crafters, photographers, sculptors, food vendors, and more will be on hand. I will once again be sponsoring a table at the Festival to answer any questions and register voters in time for the extremely important fall Presidential and local School Board of Education elections. I’ll post the location of my table on my Facebook page on Sunday morning. Movies Under the Stars begins this week If you’re looking for something to do after Mayor Zimmer’s fundraiser, the popular Movies Under the Stars program begins this Wednesday, June 8 with a showing of “Creed” at Pier A Park at 9 p.m. Join your neighbors and feel free to bring a blanket or a low-back chair. This year’s showings include some blockbuster hits, including Joy, Star Wars, The Big Short, The Martian, Brooklyn, Jurassic World, and much more. Click here to view the lineup. Thank you again to the City of Hoboken, Projected Images of Hudson County, The Hudson County Division of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, and Apple Montessori Schools for sponsoring the program. As always, if I can ever be of any assistance, feel free to e-mail me at councilmanbhalla@gmail.com Sincerely, Ravinder S. Bhalla Councilman-at-Large

Someone is in the spotlight for an investigative story questioning when it’s appropriate for a self-declared charitable organization to host a Super PAC fundraiser for an upcoming gubenatorial candidate.
That same exclusive report featured on Grafix Avenger received accolades and a hat tip from the Political Insider, Augie Torres at the Jersey Journal who wrote last month:
— There are times those wild Hoboken bloggers can come up with some interesting stuff. The latest is on the Gravix Avenger site with the headline “NJ Senator Weinberg, Mason host Sweeney in Fulop’s backyard.”
Dear Horsey and MSV readers,
I hope you can join me at my community fundraiser on June 8 at Pilsener Haus & Biergarten! This promises to be a fun and affordable event for all, at a great venue in uptown Hoboken. It would mean a lot to me if you were able to join our summer kickoff event.
Tickets are $25, and can be purchased in advance or at the event (6:30 pm at 1422 Grand Street, Hoboken, NJ). Additional information is below. I look forward to seeing you there!
Thanks,
Mayor Dawn Zimmer
The past meets present and Hoboken411 erupts against the Liebling:
Talking Ed Note: This email and tens of thousands of others, courtesy of the Bajardi v Pincus frivolous lawsuit.

In another legal saga approaching two years this September, criminal charges by Beth Mason against this MSV editor are set to conclude at trial next Thursday.
The trial completion set for June 9th in Jersey City Municipal Court stem from subpoena service in the notorious SLAPP-suit Bajardi v Pincus.
As in that widely reported First Amendment case, MSV in the end became a front and center issue. Although this website had never seen a single allegation of any kind in that civil case, articles here have been added into the criminal case.
Are you feeling the Bern?
Does upholding the Constitution and our laws enforcing the borders and American sovereignty matter?
Still ready for Hillary (but hold the emails)?
Or do you think it’s time to slip it in?
June 7th is the primary for the Democrat and Republican parties. The Chair of the Hoboken Democratic Party invites everyone to a Primary Day Watch Party.
Tomorrow the Hoboken City Council will convene with one big ticket item on the agenda. Washington St.’s reconstruction is up for a final funding vote.
Expect to see a unanimous agreement approving but more importantly, it’s the expected completion date for next fall of most interest. People simply can’t wait to see this project begun and completed.
Washington St.’s renewal is in effect the cornerstone of Hoboken’s infrastructure issues. The administration states the less than sexy infrastructure issue is a top focus and for many if not most of the Mile Square public the sporadic but frequent pipe bursts through the winter season is a constant reminder how porous the infrastructure is.
This year Memorial Day is under siege. So in the midst of barbecues, picnics and family entertainment are reports of memorials in states being defaced and vandalized.
The Vietnam Memorial vandalized in Washington D.C. back in 2007 previously has spread this year.
| In Washington DC, this attack from several years ago has spread this Memorial Day Weekend. |
| A memorial to Vietnam Veterans was also defaced in the area of Venice, California. |
In one instance, an alleged culprit was caught for acts of desecration in Henderson, Kentucky. A man was caught desecrating more than 100 crosses with police discovering the evidence in the back of his truck.
| The scene of the damage in Henderson, Kentucky. |
A similar sacrilege is being reported in Virginia:
