Nino the Purse-Snatcher

Oh, Jeez. Nino Giacchi flipped. 

Now it's gone.  Hoboken's purse for a rainy day.

The kind of rainy days every other N.J. municipality is prepared for. Our rainy day may hold future Union contract settlements, an unforseen waterfront collapse or sinkhole repair, crisis management funding, raising the city's junk-bond status to decrease Hoboken's cost of borrowing money- something we'll be FORCED TO DO NOW should we face a rainy day... and we will.

If not now, then later.

The 'Voice of Reason' lost his reason.  But not his voice.  He exercised it last night to snatch our purse.  

The grown-ups in the City Council chamber last night lost, 3-5. On the budget, Nino used to sit at the grown-up's table.  Last night he left his chair to join the kids shooting spitballs at Hoboken. When it came time to vote on the budget the kiddie table- packed with boistrous, reckless, vindictive brats- collectively stood, bent over and mooned the City.  Nyah nyah nyah nyah-nyah...

Now you see it, now you don't.  Our budget surplus down to ZERO.

Well, kiddies.... here's where folks on your side of our local culture wars start to WAKE UP.

See what I mean?  This is one of YOUR people.  Not anymore.

This what the people really think about what you've done.

Live with it.
