| Nasty, lying flyer found in Hoboken this morning |
Oh my goodness, the Dark Side hasn't figured out who they're FOR but they sure know who they're AGAINST!
No Dark Side candidate has yet to emerge from the ooze; to observers it appears there is no clear frontrunner to take on the popular, powerful (and under-estimated) Mayor Dawn Zimmer.
GA supposes a series of phone polls done in late August/September produced bad news and this conundrum: which of their apples is the least-rotten of the whole rotten bunch? Given the public's response to such an unpalatable buffet the question the Dark Side faces is: who wants to lose in 2013?
No one.
So, as the opposition tries to find a least-worst pick, someone has taken a swipe at the mayor with a very-early midnight flyer.
GA was told they were scattered all over the 2nd Ward, and found littering Washington Street...

| Litter on our streets left by callous, lying politician(s) |
WHO could be responsible for this blizzard of dreck?
The slick graphics show it's not the run-of-the mill operative's handiwork- it was done at some cost by a graphic artist/team. But the flyer lies with a pretty face as it 'sources' a quote from this JJ article published on September 11, 2012: "Hoboken announces new finance director; transportation director stepping down"
Problem? The quote is FABRICATED. Here's the quote (then look for it in the article):
"The Director of the Hoboken Parking Utility resigned so he can move to Europe, but Zimmer is keeping her friend on the payroll for a NO SHOW JOB"
Didja find the quote there? No?
Sacs' alleged "no show job" is actually consulting on an as-needed basis- he gets paid for the hours he works- for projects he was involved in or those requiring his expertise. And Sacs will use new-fangled electro-powered gizmos called 'computers' and 'telephones' that can teleconference and email so business can be conducted from anywhere, even Europe!
Ask Ricky Mason, who reads Grafix Avenger from Europe on some wireless fruit he calls a 'Blackberry':

You see? Just imagine all the trees that were sacrificed to lie about Zimmer and Ian Sacs. And like manure spread on a pasture, these flyers have left a field of litter for City workers to clean.
WHO is responsible?
It appears to GA like it was hatched by the same nitwits that carpet-bombed our mailboxes back in 2009 with this brain-dead dreck:
Remember THAT idiocy? Voters were so offended by this campaign of over-the-top nastiness they fled to Zimmer.
Well, it looks like more unrelenting negativity from the Dark Side directed at Zimmer is in store; a sign of weakness as they scramble for their least-worst to market against a popular incumbent.
If YOU were hauled into court for stalking a five-year old and were rumored to have solicited sex from a teenage girl, would YOUR boss keep YOU on the payroll?
ReplyDeleteBeth Mason would!
Another new low for the Old Guard. They never cease to entertain. Perhaps Mayor Zimmer & Director Sacs should sue for libel.
It makes perfect sense for Sacs to consult on important ongoing projects and be paid for his time, regardless of where he is. Rational Hobokenites with real - not fictionalized - experience in the business world understand this and Sacs did more to address Hoboken's parking issues in his tenure than all of his predecessors combined.
With no expectation of a bonus (paid in quarters), whatever his compensation, it wasn't enough to suffer the abuse and disrespect from the council minority.
A recurring theme of theirs which exposes their pathology and insecurity is that they perceive all city hall directors to be the Mayor's friends. Sad and laughable.
The concept of working from a distance (or not in their case) should be familiar to our council minority members - aside from their twice-monthly appearances where they bloviate ad nauseum, "phoning it in" is all they do anyway, having abandoned the posts they were elected to.
There have been a million dirty fliers in Hoboken.
ReplyDeleteSomehow this one made it into the Hoboken Reporter?
Somehow instead of being a piece about the combination of extremely questionable ethics and somewhat professional looking work - it ends by promoting the message of the flier "The flyers say, "If you quit your job and moved to Europe, would your boss keep you on the payroll? Dawn Zimmer would!" At the bottom, they say, "Tell Zimmer to stop taking care of her friends and worry about parking!"
Now can anyone think of a half-page of reasons why this flier not only made it into the Hoboken Reporter but also gets to question he mayor instead of being questioned itself?
Remember, we're looking for half-page answers....
