Annette’s big Mile Square night out

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

If you call it a homecoming, no one would say you were wrong but it had the feel of a celebration and one could dare say it: unity.

For Hoboken, that’s a marvelous word to utter because it had all the atmosphere of both even if temporary before the next major City Hall election – for mayor in 2017.

Officially, this was a fundraiser for Hoboken’s new Assemblywoman Annette Chaparro. Chief among the political dignitaries, NJ Assembly Speaker Vinnie Prieto who was the unofficial master of ceremonies and brought a barrage of support trailing the event with him. Read More...

Feeling the Bern and the bernout in Hoboken

by SmartyJones2 Min Reading

A Bernie Sanders bus came to Hoboken on Sunday promoting support in the June 7th Democratic primary.

The scene with several dozen supporters seemed subdued with Hoboken Police present to give the group some room to chant slogans and enjoy their First Amendment liberties. Perhaps the event was smaller due to the preceding fiasco at the Nevada delegate convention where the Sanders campaign saw its delegate count being usurped by the Clinton Machine despite cries of voter suppression and abuse of the Robert Rules of Order.
A Bernie Sanders campaign event arrived in uptown Hoboken on Sunday.
A Sanders supporter with decked out Bernie backing doggie lingered after the event.
Last of the dwindling Masonistas: John Keim and Ines Garcia Keim signatories to the PAC underwritten by Beth Mason and Richard Mason to savage City Council President Jen Giattino last fall in a bid to see Carmelo Garcia installed to the City Council attended the Sanders rally.

Last fall, a PAC led by Ines Garcia Keim and John Keim: “Real Democrats for Hoboken,” flooded sixth ward voters with dirty campaign mailers before the election. Grafix Avenger pulled back the covers on the ugly political operation.

Another Grafix Avenger investigation showed the PAC broke NJ campaign law exceeding the spending limits, a Masonic specialty. 


Right before election day, this campaign mailer was sent out repeating a lie by Beth Mason used in an earlier political attack. Council President Jen Giattino went to Indianapolis on her own dime to learn how Hoboken might benefit with the Super Bowl in New Jersey the following year. Read More...

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

Hudson County View weighed in with a detailed news story on the breaking news this week with the Hoboken Housing Authority slapping back at former director Carmelo Garcia in a detailed complaint filed in Hudson Superior Court last month.

The story highlights the lawsuits on both sides noting Garcia’s original filing going back almost three years and thrown out of Court back in 2013. It lists the numerous contractual problems uncovered when HHA Chair Dana Wefer reviewed the contracts and discovered a long list of HUD violations, many usurping the authority of the board allegedly under federal law.

Carmelo Garcia, the contracted litigant against the agency he managed when he was summarily terminated in August 2014 received a calling card from the Hoboken Housing Authority.

Carmelo Garcia has been sued back.

The contrasting specificity of the HHA complaint is in sharp contrast to the litany of unsubstantiated charges Garcia has lobbed for years against the agency, Hoboken mayor, her husband Stan Grossbard, the HHA and each member who terminated his contract in a mob-like atmosphere in a special meeting hosted at City Hall.

Carmelo Garcia, the controversial and former Executive Director of the Hoboken Housing Authority is suing the mayor, the City of Hoboken and the agency that terminated what he apparently believes is a lifetime contract.

Known by many as “the ethic cleanser” for his original 2013 notorious ethnic cleanser lawsuit thrown out of court by the Hon. Judge Lawrence Maron soon after in Hudson Superior Court, Mister Carmelo’s back for round three.

He’s backkkkkk! Carmelo Garcia (l) is back suing yet again with version three of his infamous “ethnic cleansing” lawusit. The first thrown out in 2013 saw mostly a repeat the second time and now he’s back for Round III.

MIA since his former Chief of Staff in the NJ Assembly Chris Campos was arrested for bank and wire fraud last March, Garcia added three more ethic cleansing victims from the Hoboken Housing Authority. Read More...

Sign of the Times: Hudson County Das Bus

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

Here’s a view of the Hudson County bus featuring some advertising as it cruised into Hoboken yesterday. Apparently, HudCo figured it was a good way to add to the revenue stream.

Should Hoboken do likewise on its Hop Bus system?

Some hate advertising and fear the roving spectacle but others are more critical and hate the garish sidewalk paint slippery when wet by sewer grates.

Decisions, decisions…
