Readers are noting once again a nefarious effort to dirty up Hoboken’s victory in saving the hospital.  We’ve received word of this by email and commenter khoboken posted:

Speaking of cockroaches that love corruption soup, did anyone else get the weird phone pre recorded call tonight from this guy with a very creepy voice spewing lies about Mayor Zimmer selling the hospital to an out of state develoepr that is going to put up a high rise in the middle of town (but he did acknowledge the payment of the 52M in bond debt)? Press 1 if you agree with the sale, press 2 if you dont agree with the sale. More Mason Money thrown down the drain. 


At least get a guy that doesnt sound like a child molester to make the tape. Read More...

A Hoboken police officer crashed his personal car into several vehicles before flipping over his own on Clinton Street 3:30 this morning apparently due to driving while intoxicated.  Officer James Miller was inside the vehicle as it lay on its side in the middle of Clinton Street when police arrived on the scene, this according to a story reported in the Jersey Journal.

The story adds Officer Miller will be assigned to desk duty pending the outcome of DWI charges.

Talking Ed Note: This photo comes from the infamous September 21st City Council meeting where the Beth Russo hydra tried to kill the hospital sale. It shows Officer Miller standing on duty outside Council Chambers as Michael Russo enters. Read More...

There’s chatter about the cost of New Jersey’s municipal services to the taxpayer but a factor left out of the equation is the cost of corruption.  As the number of municipalities in the state of New Jersey is greater than in California, the age old problem of having so many school districts, fire and police departments is well known in higher costs to its residents.  The cost for corruption however much less so.  People know its there.

In Hoboken under the Zimmer Administration measures were taken via audit, one last December and corruption discovered such as the Russo family grifting of health benefits costing taxpayers approximately $100,000 after ex-mayor Anthony Russo got out of prison.  (Somehow he found himself back on the taxpayer roles under Mayor Dave Roberts.)  When Councilman Michael Russo discovered the results of the audit, he complained not about the results but why the audit was conducted in the first place.

Freeholder Anthony Romano is running for re-election on Column A under the (HCDO) Hudson County Democratic Organization next month November 8th.  He’s also being supported at the uptown office of Councilwoman Beth Mason who has the HCDO signs up for Romano too.

Hoboken’s Kurt “Giant” Gardiner is running against the Column A Machine as an independent candidate.  He’s focused on issues central to Hoboken including taxes and services.  Hoboken taxes have risen consistently at the County level.  Sometimes people will confuse the increases as the tax bill consists of county, education and municipal.

Considered the all around greatest American player to come out of our young footballing re: soccer nation, Claudio Reyna the former US National Team Captain held a Q&A at Mulligans Monday night.  It was probably the first time a bar was filled with people and none were there to watch American Monday Night Football.

Now the head of youth development, he’s transitioned from having the best career in Europe playing in Germany, Scotland and England while also playing on four US National Teams. Read More...

In an epic World Cup showdown, Italy would take on host country Germany in a classic for the ages. Although Italy already a three time World Cup champion would later claim its 4th World Cup title against France, this match was the high point of the tournament as the win came on German soil in an open attacking style by both teams.

Hoboken held a grand party when Italy won that day and also the final. If you don’t understand much of the beautiful game, this video may help.

Let us reflect on one great moment in Italian history:

Here’s the complete, unedited video of Mayor Dawn Zimmer on Friday during the Q&A portion of the press conference:

Earlier in the morning, the mayor attended a Columbus Day event at Columbus Park run by the County.   One report said when the mayor mentioned the hospital had been saved, the reaction from those present was absolute silence.

Another source said she was applauded at the completion of her remarks.
In attendance were Council members Terry Castellano and Beth Mason and Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise and Mayor Dawn Zimmer spoke. Read More...

There’s not been much of anything of substance coming from the Council minority/group who attempted to sabotage the sale of Hoboken University Medical Center since Thursday when it became obvious the creditors settlement would be approved along with the sale.

The judge in bankruptcy court actually praised the members of the Hoboken Medical Hospital Authority along with the mayor and the other parties involved in the negotiations for getting to the finish line and working with him to sign off on the deal without requiring him to act in a hearing. Mason411, the website Beth Mason says she does not own, control or beat its mascot Oscar any longer is pumping out the latest vitriol in the hopes it will lead to poisonous fruit later.  If it doesn’t, no worries, Hoboken411 will move on to other fabrications as instructed by Beth Mason and her ready and willing political operatives. Here’s its latest rant grasping at straws: If Zimmer really wants to prove there was no wrong doing she’ll release the depositions

 provided by her and the Hospital Authority Board members and release  Read More...
