Me and My Shadow





Mike Novak,  President of the Hoboken Chamber of Commerce, erroneously claims in his Twitter-linked message (posted above) that the "State finds City of Hoboken in violation of public ethics and contracting laws..." alleging hiring practices of the  Zimmer administration prompted a rebuke from the Office of he State Comptroller (OSC).
 
Today the Jersey Journal corrected Novak and Mason411; the issues the OCS cited as "deficiencies"in the City's hiring practices were for 2008 and 2009-  when David Roboerts was mayor.

Mayor Zimmer was sworn in  on November 6, 2009.


From the the Jersey Journal's Hoboken Now:


Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss

Whatever happens, we've got us.

Me and my shadow

We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's to Liza
Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to L.A.
We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

And when it's sleeping time

That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!

Me and my shadow

And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar

We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Jilly's right after Toots Shor
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!

Say Frank?

What is it, Sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! From the ending!
Wonderful!

And while we are swinging, to mention a few

We'll drop in at Danny's, The Little Club too
But wind up at Jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Wow!)
For my shadow and me!

Frank?

Oh, forget it Sam.
All right
