Election Day Report

It goes without saying your vote matters a great deal today and if you’ve already voted, any time and effort you can offer to spread the word and GOTV (Get out the Vote) can be the difference between progress and falling back into a wretched culture of corruption. Doesn’t matter if you undertake the effort solo or in tandem with a campaign. Talk to friends and neighbors and make sure they know to get out and vote.
Hoboken voters are showing up in the ward races in higher numbers early today versus the 2011ward elections across many voting districts. The big push however lies ahead in the evening rush and that tally will determine most if not ALL the ward outcomes. =&2=&

Beth Mason Civic “charity” running political operations for Carmelo Garcia

Breaking the law again? Beth Mason who likes to make laws for others but doesn’t actually like following them is once again using her tax-subsidized Civic Association “charity” as a weigh station for Hoboken’s notorious and controversial Carmelo Garcia.

While that office at 12th and Washington St. is in the second ward, hired workers are seen coming and going in and out moving election materials and signs for GOTV efforts.

Signs also appearing illegally on Washington St. near bus stops for Garcia have gone up but people are taking it upon themselves to tear them town. (Which is perfectly fine for illegal litter since the City of Hobken has an ordinance on the books banning same.) Read More...
