Tonight’s Reform City Council slate fundraiser with Mayor Dawn Zimmer at Arthur’s.  The weather was perfect, the attendance rousing and the event a success.

Reform is on the move.

Councilman Peter Cunningham would arrive later after a board meeting. More to come.

=&0=& The Mile Square City suffers from a seasonal schipzoprhenic division, one of many its undegone in recent years. Summer lingered and suddenly it’s four weeks out to a November election. Is the public ready?

From all appearances the answer may be negative. The public is by all appearance less than energized in the Mile Square partly due to the astounding success of Mayor Zimmer and her council allies who have held the reins for most of the last six years other than a short but brief reign of terror from the chair of Beth Mason and the Russo faction.

That terror was real, destructive and sadly for voters with short memories distant. The hospital in the fall of 2011 was thee major issue as Mayor Zimmer fought with a group of volunteer Hoboken residents led by hospital board chair Toni Tamarazzo to pull off a stunning reclamation keeping the doors of Hoboken University Medical Center open.

Sincerely, Mayor Dawn Zimmer P.S. Please consider joining us with a $100 donation (friend), $250 (guest), $500 (host), or $1,000 (chair). Who: 6th Ward Councilwoman Jen Giattino, 5th Ward Councilman Peter Cunningham, 1st Ward Candidate Mike DeFusco, 2nd Ward Candidate Tiffanie Fisher, and 4th Ward Candidate Dana Wefer What: Fundraiser for our City Council team When: Tuesday, October 6 at 6:30 p.m. Where: Arthur’s Tavern, 237 Washington Street, Hoboken, NJ Mayor Dawn Zimmerhttp://www.dawnzimmer.com/ News Sign of the Times: Mike Russo says, ‘Let’s move on and stop talking about our corruption’ 10/05/201501/22/2021 by SmartyJones1 Min Reading MILE SQUARE VIEW EXCLUSIVE Councilman Michael Russo’s had enough. Recent elections in Hoboken invariably see more than whispers about corruption. The Hoboken corruption chatter builds upon the people who won’t vote for him, his select City Council running mates and the agenda of their big developer allies be it the Barry family, re: Applied companies / Ironstate Development, BASF, etc. Worse, those people are more likely to vote for candidates with a professional pedigree for 21st good governance and work with Mayor Zimmer.

Our City has made an enormous amount of progress over the past several years. Here are just a few examples of what we’ve accomplished together: We’ve reduced the municipal portion of our taxes by almost 10 percent since their peak in 2010, while creating a fiscally responsible surplus that improved our bond rating from near junk to AA+. We’ve upgraded our existing parks with innovative new equipment and opened new parks at Pier C and 1600 Park. Projects are underway that will add an additional 8 acres of new open space in the Western side of the City. This includes a 5-acre Resiliency Park, and a new large municipal parking garage to be built in the 5th Ward. Read More... News Coming to an election near you in 2015? “the way Applied strong-armed the vote for so many years” 10/02/201501/22/2021 by SmartyJones1 Min Reading =&0=& Applied Housing “strong-armed” voter intimidation tactics against Hoboken residents highlighted as November 3rd election approaches On Thursday, MSV reported allegations of threats against residents in Applied Housing in the second ward and the arm twisting by its building management to vote against council candidate Tiffanie Fisher and for Peter Biancamano. Back in 2009, this was openly discussed in the Beth Mason campaign among her coterie of political operatives. In a March 7, 2009 email, this Beth Mason political operative email highlighted the pros and cons of putting a son of Applied Housing management, Raulito Morales on Beth Mason’s City Council ticket with that “benefit.” (Michael Russo told FBI informant Solomon Dwek on surveillance tape in a Jersey City restaurant he was picking all three of the council candidates on Beth Mason’s City Council slate around the same time.)

News Grist for the Mill: Newest “Darksider” Kaufmann going under the bus? 10/01/201501/22/2021 by SmartyJones1 Min Reading When you embrace what Grafix Avenger affectionately dubs “the Darksiders,” there’s risks. The idea of immortality for one sounds nice until you discover there won’t be any summer days at the beach in Miami or the Caribbean. Get wrapped up in some darksider vampire hype can be a real pain in the neck. When it comes to the Hoboken Board of Eduction races, the Darksiders like to throw curveballs and lop on a spitter when the mood strikes them and a “yuppie” is temporarily under their spell.
