Thursday the Hoboken University Medical Center will be having a budget workshop for the public led by its board: the Hoboken Municipal Hospital Authority.  Following the two held for the city the past two Saturdays, the Authority will have a budget report presented before going into a closed session to review contract and employment issues.

As part of the special meeting, a public comment portion will be available.  There’s been a lot said about the hospital in recent days from the Governor’s transition team predicting its closure in December and the CEO’s reply rejecting that characterization.  In a recent phone discussion with Mile Square View, CEO Spiros Hatiras stated Governor Christie is now fully aware and supportive of the numerous steps the hospital has taken to improve its financial viability.

Is it possible the new Governor may be visiting Hoboken to pay a visit?  Da Horsey knows but won’t say.

This special workshop will be help Thursday night at 7:00 in Assumption Hall.  It’s at the rear of the main entrance: 308 Willow Street.  Agenda follows.  (Public comments will probably move ahead of closed session as it has in the past.)
