But the rest of the ticket including Carol was just boring and Mike Lenz insisted on Carol Marsh instead of Tony for Mayor. With Tony at the top of the ticket reform would have taken over the City back in 2005 and saved us from four more years of Roberts and the 8 year Zimmer faux reform disaster. <br /><br />But we can't change the past. Only the Future. That's why it's so exciting to see Tony back supporting a REAL REFORMER and true visionary like Mike.

He had no allegiance to "reform" and kept a foot in every camp the whole time he was in office, then leveraged his position to advance himself and his career ever since. He's given everyone he can corner his "I leave the NHSA in better shape than I found it" speech and they all laugh that he only ever wanted the health benefits and doomed his handpicked successor by endorsing him.<br /><br />There's never been anyone whose self-importance was more opposite to what people actually thought of him and never been a more thin-skinned hypocrite who loves to throw bombs and then cry foul when people throw them back.<br /><br />He is a laughing stock, a hypocrite, a self-serving trough-feeder and a buffoon.

After all, (Ex)Councilman Soares is a pioneer of reform isn't he?<br /><br />His associations with Hoboken's corrupt Old Guard and with the sketchiest elements in the County (see Joey Muniz) have certainly raised questions about his integrity. But his association with Mr. Soares raises questions only about his judgment. You have to be a bit of an idiot to listen too much to Tony. Nobody with any sense wants him anywhere near them. My guess is that Mike will figure that out pretty soon since he's probably in the process of hiring real professionals to do his messaging, and they'll advise Mike to muzzle Tony and that probably won't go well.

What has Mike done successfully as a Councilman?<br /><br />Here's a tip, when pointing out issues (truck that made a wrong turn, lightrail accident in JC, pipe burst) you should also propose what YOUR IDEAS for solutions are. Everyone can see a problem, point at it, and ask why it hasn't been fixed. You're in a position to FIX problems with your IDEAS.

And it bums me out.<br /><br />I volunteered for Eric Kurta when he took on Terry. Then when Mike showed up I donated money.

I know it's "just politics," but give me a break.<br /><br />Did you know that a giant tractor trailer had trouble making the turn on Newark from Hudson? And that's Dawn Zimmer's fault?<br /><br />A real councilman would maybe do something to make streets safer for the citizens, like trying to improve the signage of where truck routes are to keep them off roads they aren't supposed to travel. In my opinion, a massive truck like that has no business in Hoboken period, let alone trying to make that turn. But let's point fingers instead.<br /><br />What has he done to help press the Suez water issue? Better to just complain that nothing has changed and water mains keep rupturing. We know that Mike, you're in a position to actually maybe help. Maybe try that.<br /><br />And thanks for looking out for a community center in a different ward, and offering up the first ward for some over-development as a payoff. Really appreciate you looking out for your constituents.<br /><br />That is, unless his constituents are actually the usual Hoboken or Hudson County suspects. Looks like I got duped.
