The total dollar amount 6th Ward candidate Carmelo Garcia will cost resident taxpayers of Hoboken has yet to be tallied.
So far, Garcia has cost Hoboken taxpayers $150,000.
$150,000 is the deductible for the City's legal defense against Garcia's claims of everything from ethnic cleansing to racketeering. The fusillade of litigation against Mayor Zimmer, her husband, former HHA Chairman Stuiver, current HHA Chairwoman Dana Wefer and HHA Commisioner David Mello began on August 12, 2013 and continues to the present.
What is unknown is the dollar amount of any settlement to Garcia, should the City wish to avoid the expense of a trial.
If the City settles, the total "cost of Carmelo" to Hoboken taxpayers would be:
$150,000 + settlement* = HOBOKEN TAXPAYER'S COST
*taxpayer money that will go to Louis Zayas, Esq. and his client Carmelo Garcia
If the city does NOT settle, the "cost of Carmelo" to taxpayers:
$150,000 + trial cost** = HOBOKEN TAXPAYER'S COST
**cost to conduct a civil trial in Hudson County and Hoboken's cost to defend
If there's a jury award, the "cost of Carmelo:"
$150,000 + trial cost** + JURY AWARD = HOBOKEN TAXPAYER'S COST
WHY would Carmelo Garcia, who is in the process of draining taxpayer pockets for his 'ethnic cleansing/ racketeering' claims believe he belongs on the fiduciary body charged with protecting the interests of the Hoboken taxpayer?
As jokes go, the 6th Ward is not laughing. Here are Garcia's 3 complaints our wallets have been tapped to defend.
COMPLAINT NO 1- Filed August 12, 2013
"AMENDED" COMPLAINT NO. 2- filed January 23, 2014
"REVISED SECOND AMENDED" COMPLAINT NO. 3- Filed on April 7, 2015
Carmelo's $300 a pop fundraiser set for tonight was apparently EXPUNGED from his Facebook page. Oh my...
ReplyDeleteWe Couldn't. We Shouldn't. Their Watching Us.
Some of my peops were ready to go to Mikie Squared and party with Carmelo on his dime. He smelled us out. We're not paying $300, no one is.
DeleteOther than that sucker he doesn't like (or Tania) - Bet Mazon.
Does God forgive bathroom noises? He might forgive a number one but a number two?
ReplyDeleteBeyond the financial costs to the people of Hoboken associated with Carmelo Garcia there is the moral costs of having someone like him representing them.
ReplyDeleteThe good citizens of old and new Hoboken have tried hard and has been successful in lifting their city out of the quagmire of political corruption to be dragged down again.
Not a chance will the sixth ward elect this snake oil salesman.
ReplyDeletehha tenants were not happy with carmelo. Their not afraid of him not anymore. Their not afraid to speak the truth and they will.
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't. We shouldn't. Their watching us.
ReplyDeleteFewer then fifteen people turned up for Garcia in the park last night.
The thee R's (Russo, Romano, Ramos) and almost all do not live in the 6th Ward or even Hoboken.
They all quickly dispersed after listening to one of Garcia's whiny rants about being a victim and his own perceived progression to greatness. Awkward.
Most of the 15 people there were Carmelo's family and out of town friends. We couln't. We shouldn't. Their watching us

DeleteWE COULDN'T. WE SHOULD'T. THEY'RE WATCHING US.
LOL
I hope that paltry turnout for the garcia candidacy launch event is indicative of his popularity in the 6th ward, and a foreshadowing of Jen's re-election. Go Jen!
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't, we shouldn't...but we'll try anyway, since we're incapable of getting a job in the real world (IN MY OPINION!!)
ReplyDeleteCarmelo Garcia is a liar and a real screwball " I have lived in Hoboken my entire life but I also have the distinction of my pedigree from Harvard, Stevens, and Seton Hall. I am a hybrid,” "
ReplyDeleteHe is not a Harvard Grad. He took some seminars and courses there.
He went to Stevens while working full-time for the city and obtained a "double masters" when Stevens needed variances for a garage.... Hmmm...
The man is a sociopath
I have lived in Hoboken my entire life but I also have the distinction of my pedigree from Harvard, Stevens, and Seton Hall. I am a hybrid,”
Seminars at Harvard count about as much as going to a sporting event at Harvard.
DeleteChris Campos Isnt a Hobokenite, so why should we care what that fat scumbag, low life gasbag have to say?
ReplyDeleteChris Campos doesn't live in Hoboken but Carmelo Garcia has him as part of his paid Assembly staff. Your tax money.
DeleteRemember when Pat Waiter who was also on Garcia's staff got in trouble for making anti-Semitic public comments he wrote her apology letter.
Was a single 6th Warder even at his pep rally?
ReplyDeleteDoes Carmelo's wife count ?
