Beth Mason wheeled a big fat $8,200 to Tim Occhipinti’s election campaign exceeding the individual maximum contribution of $2,600 for at least a whopping $13,400 – a matter of public record. But are there other ethical and/or campaign contribution problems Beth Mason is suffering from in a terminal death spin of hypocrisy? According to a Hoboken Journal report earlier today, there in fact may be.
| Beth Mason’s wheeling may not be just the obscene $13,400. It may in fact be far more. |
MSV has also been reviewing Beth Mason’s and Tim Occhipinti’s ELEC reports and there’s some suspicious activity indicating she was most likely playing fast and loose with funneling money to Tim Occhipinti for amounts of loot more than earlier believed. Money her new puppet on the council needed in the closing days of his campaign to pay his voters, uhm cough cough, his hundreds and hundreds of ‘campaign workers.’
Rami for Council announces:
STATEMENT ON MAYOR ZIMMER’S CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM
“For too long, Hoboken’s progress has been stymied by political corruption, pay-to-play politics, and elected officials who put self interest before the public interest. I applaud the Mayor’s campaign finance reform package because it takes us away from the reputation as ‘The Best Council Money Can Buy.’
Public office was meant to be held by the best and the brightest of our community; people who would look out for all of our interests. By limiting the influence of outside PACs, we will be able to see directly who is contributing to a candidate so we, as the public, can make informed decisions in fair elections.
Greg Lincoln a third ward resident and a voice for intellectual honesty on issues and budget finance who has spoken at City Council meetings is throwing in his hat for the ward’s council seat up for election in May.

Apparently, Mr. Lincoln a family man himself is more than willing to take on the new cuddly, rebranded Mike Russo and his Daddy’s Civic Association.
Release the hounds!
Talking Ed Note: Greg was also a contributor to the guest column at MSV, “Guest of the Stable.” The link to his piece can be found below:

After seeing this clip, whole chapters on how to rebrand your political image could be written and in this video, a slick production is looking to market a kinder, softer, and one can even say polite Mike Russo. It doesn’t hurt to use an expecting wife as a prop who describes your ‘work’ on the City Council as “passionate.” There are many descriptions of his work in City Council and that description is to put it nicely, incomplete.
This video features the sweet song of catharsis when covering the touchy aspect of Mike Russo’s father. Call it his Oprah moment.
Here’s the latest political emailer from Beth Mason:
Dear Friend,
Where’s my $20 million?
2nd ward City Council candidate Tom Greaney launched his new website along with an advertisement featured on CNN. His opponent Councilwoman Beth Mason previously announced her candidacy for the May council election along with an ad previewed in the fall prior to the 4th ward City Council special election.
So with her ad out first, Tom Greaney has now responded in kind. Kaboom! The race is on in what promises to be the highest profile and costliest council race. Beth Mason will uncork a checkbook not only likely to make this the most expensive council race of all the wards this election, but perhaps setting a record of any Council race in Hoboken’s history.
