Other than actually running for office in Hoboken, the second toughest gig in town might be coming in as a Director these days.  At the City Council meeting last Wednesday night, the finality of confirmation went through smoothly although many in the audience were awaiting a blip.  Thankfully, it never came.  But let’s salute the new Directors first.  They’ve been subjected to a trial by fire more difficult than candidates on Survivor.  They all deserve a ton of credit for their efforts to this point.

From where this horse is sitting, there’s satisfaction in seeing the professional quotient elevated to benefit all Hoboken.
