A credible source has confirmed that at least (3) winning Democratic Committee men and women have been called by Third Ward Councilman Michael Russo to persuade them to 'flip' at the Reorganization meeting.
In other words: vote for a Party Chair other than the 'Column B' Democrats' pick. The source used the term "goodies" to describe what benefits were suggested would come to them should they cause an upset. The source described said "benefits" of flipping as, for example, being awarded a "Vice Chair" or another role in the Party.
Although, my source said Mr. Russo did not state a desire for the Party Chair position, the notion seemed implicit.
Here's all that our elected Democratic Committee men and women need to know: you MUST attend Monday's Reorganization meeting at 8 pm at Room 84 (corner of Washington and Newark streets).
The stealth campaign to steal the new direction of the Hoboken Democratic Party is underway and it's fierce. If ALL of our elected 'Column B' Democrats show up and vote for new leadership on Monday night, then our win should be secure.

Interesting and not altogether surprising. It would seem to vindicate Cunningham's expressed concern about the "standard bearers of corrupt Hoboken politics." Cunningham was calling out the entitled and their culture of corruption. The false dichotomy of old/new or BNR/yuppies is used by the entitled to divide the community and distract from their efforts to retain and regain their hold on power. Cunningham is correct when he states that they are not wanted and there is no place for them; does anyone want a repeat of the Russo years corruption? Kurta's history lesson (on Revolt and da Horsey) makes this very clear, "in a fourteen-month period spanning 2000 and early 2001, the Hoboken Regular Democratic Party, chaired by Michelle Russo, contributed (funneled) nearly $250,000 to Anthony Russo’s city and school board slates, all running in non-partisan races."
ReplyDeleteConfession: I've already blogged this on da Horsey but it bears repeating and repeat I will.
