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.

Russo’s decided even if he’s finagled a deal to run unopposed for re-election, he’s not going to take it anymore. He’s putting his foot down that further discussion about corruption needs to stop.

After all, in November’s 2017 election, he’d like to run for Hoboken mayor. If the Hoboken public keeps talking about corruption, how can he ever see himself nail down the family’s top business CEO slot with its hands on the money at City Hall?
