Grist for the Mill: Raia-Mason “workers” for Timmy Occhipinti – “We’re not getting paid yo!”

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

First there’s a gristy chewable already out on the streets.  Department of Justice will be hitting Hoboken tomorrow and they are going right to the heart of the vote farming itself.

Brace yourselves, the public embarrassment is about to explode on the vote farmers and the utterers of the words “voter suppression.”

Earlier MSV exclusively reported from multiple sources the Department of Justice opened an investigation into the Hoboken election.

Turnout is reportedly solid and in some areas of the City very strong.  The Jersey Journal has its take on the turnout.  MSV saw a solid turnout at the Firehouse at 13th and Washington. Read More...

Mayor Zimmer: Last Call!

by SmartyJones2 Min Reading

Mayor Dawn Zimmer and the Zimmer Team announces:

Blog      Volunteer      Contribute
Dear Horsey & MSV readers —


Today is Election Day. There are many important matters on the ballot including Governor, Mayor, a City Council team, a school Board team, and an important referendum question concerning a proposed change to Hoboken’s rent control law (that I oppose because it doesn’t adequately protect existing tenants).

The polls are open from 6am to 8pm. Please remember to vote. 

Four years ago, my team and I promised you a new direction for our City after the 2nd Hoboken mayor in 10 years was arrested for taking bribes, and the reckless policies of the past resulted in State fiscal supervision and an almost 80% municipal tax increase.    
We have worked hard to live up to that promise. We saved our bankrupt hospital, getting the City off the hook for the $52 million bond guarantee. We cut City taxes by nearly 12 percent. We renovated almost all of our parks and opened two new ones. We brought great concerts to Pier A like Mumford & Sons, Bob Dylan and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. And we all came together as a community to emerge from Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy stronger than ever.

We are now back on the right path and ready to move forward to a very bright future.

The decisions made over the next four years will define our City going forward.
We must protect our City from flooding and skyrocketing insurance costs. And I will do that by implementing my comprehensive Resiliency and Readiness Plan.

We must make sure redevelopment strengthens our infrastructure rather than burdens it, enhances rather than overcrowds our neighborhoods, and protects the incredible character of our City.

We must continue to make the tough fiscal decisions needed to keep our finances sound for the long term. We simply cannot go back to the failed practices of the past.

I love this City, and I love serving as your mayor. I ask for your support for me and my City Council team of Councilman David Mello, Councilman Ravi Bhalla, and Council candidate James Doyle, and for the Kids First School Board team of Leon Gold, Irene Sobolov and Jennifer Evans so we can continue leading our great City forward.
Sincerely,
Dawn Zimmer

Election Funeral Gathering?

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

A reliable source says Councilwoman Beth Mason who has dropped tens of thousands of dollars on Timmy Occhipinti to advance her political ambitions has arrived at the Raia-Mason HQ on lower Washington Street.

The $20,000 from the Mason family is at this point probably more than double if not triple.  Mason has been running a scorched earth campaign with Councilman Ravi Bhalla her target.

Also arriving the architect of the doomed Occhipinti campaign (and some say Mole #1 of the Ramos campaign), FinBoy aka the Weehawken fishy, Dara Gluck, Ravi Ravioli, et. al. is on the scene. Read More...

More Breaking the Law: Carmelo “the Ethic Cleanser” Garcia and MSTA

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

There’s a new Hoboken tradition this year, rampant illegal sign postings.  They all seem to be sharing a similar approach to posting the signs up in illegal places high up so no one can easily remove them.

Here’s some of the latest:
Here’s a sign placed high illegally on a pole at 9th and Garden for Stack and company.  A local resident
noted there are plenty all illegally posted around the neighborhood.
Same deal – another illegal sign for MSTA posted high up on a utility poll out of reach of anyone.
Another illegal MSTA sign posted but this low enough and felt the wrath of a voter.
