Voting down an agreement amicably agreed to by the vape guy and the city would have been insane.<br /><br />What's dumb is trying to reinvent reality to try to make DeFusco look like a hero when he himself made himself look like an ass. <br /><br />What's dumb is deFusco making this somehow about himself and his "friend" and accusing Ravi of playing politics when Mike has done nothing but play politics for months.<br /><br />What's dumb is taking political advice from an idiot who has said his political advice is infallible.

The analogy is ...Sorry but you're quite wrong. The analogy is perfectly apt and any lawyer with experience in these issues could explain it to you. It's not remotely a close call. Soares's role, public and private, speculative or real, in Hoboken political and government affairs, is very much an issue of public concern and he is very much a public figure in that regard every bit as much as Grossbard.<br /><br />Consider that Lane Bajardi was held to be a public figure with respect to Hoboken politics and then compare Soares involvement in public life and politics to Mr Bajardi's. Think about the fact that Soares just gave a newspaper interview discussing whether he was going to run for office this year and who he might endorse, not to mention he's held elected office and several appointed public positions.<br /><br />I'm not saying anyone should get up at a Council meeting and talk about Mr. Soares. In my opinion it would be a waste of the Council's and the public's time.<br /><br />But if you agree with Mr. Belfiore's and Mr. Liebler's arguments then anyone could get up and talk about Soares's behind the scenes role at a Council meeting to their hearts content without interruption.

That's the legal issue involved. If both cases settle we won't actually get an "official" answer but my guess is that in order to avoid this type of litigation the Council would probably just let it go from now on so it would be interesting to see the response of people like Soares and Belfiore if that were to happen Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982097314224201904.post-47945106747899353852017-05-19T10:37:51.016-04:002017-05-19T10:37:51.016-04:00Just my opinion but I always figured his ethics an...Just my opinion but I always figured his ethics and phony outrage always came with a price tag.
