Mayoral candidate and small-business advocate, Karen Nason, discusses the impact of Washington Street work on Hoboken's small businesses with her former FUSE partner, Rob Gebhardt.
In spite of being labeled a "Zimmerite" (I guess that's not good), GA thinks Karen Nason is a wellspring of fresh ideas for energizing Hoboken's small business community.
Whatever happens in November, I hope his gal continues to lend her big voice, big ideas and big, red hair to raise Hoboken's game.
Unlike phony Mike DeFusco, who tells small business owners what he thinks they want to hear (trust me, if elected he will stab them in the back), Karen Nason is the real deal.
That's one reason GA likes her- she is a straight shooter. What you see is what you get, people.
Thanks Nancy!
ReplyDeletepay attention this week A GOOD ONE on my campaign coming!!!
Karen seems great, but I'm sticking with Jen. Jen knows how to build coalitions with a broad range of people with different perspectives.
ReplyDeleteLike my chief sponsor, Mr. Horsey, with comments like "Joe Arpaio was upholding the law and blatantly targeted." Some might call this viewpoint controversial in a city with many residents who've been victims of racial profiling, but I call having your chief online mouthpiece expressing such outside-the-mainstream views a way of building bridges.
That's why I'm supporting Jen Giattino - because she embraces spokespeople from
many sides, from many sides.
I see Hatfield McSores is having another nuclear meltdown over at "the other site." That guy never seems to find the bottom. Even milking is father's funeral for political points wasn't beneath him. What a creep.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I never heard "Hatfield McSores" use his personal tragedy for political purposes. Let's not go there. Really.
DeleteLet the expression of hatred for me/this site stay over there. I am doing nothing different than I have over done for the past 7 years, except support Ravi. It's made them go nuts. I could go into specifics, but not worth it. All hypocrites because they sought and/or got my help at one time or another. All stupid.
"Hatfield McSores" is on team DeFusco, not team Giattino, and is stoking the rift between Reform factions over there by trying to undermine my credibility. Now I am a "hate site"- um, no. "Hatfield McSores" stuck the knife in Jen's back big time, and I can prove it.
I want folks to stick to issues that matter to the public and not internecine fights between screen names. Let the internecine vitriol stay "over there". The "other site" lost local support and interest when it turned to the Alt Right.
Anyway, peeps let's try to pivot from personal grievances, and let the "other site" own the nastiness, mean-spiritedness and pettiness.
Who wins the next election is more important than "winning" a blog fight.
well said, GA. on a related topic, i'm not Facebook friends with anyone involved in the daily campaign rhetoric (i like to keep my private life separate from this stuff), but out of curiosity just went on to the Facebook pages of a couple of very vocal local mayoral supporters who comment here and elsewhere. i'm actually taken aback and honestly saddened by the unrelenting nasty tone and sub-low level of discourse, particularly surprising since it comes from a circle of the town's highly educated upper middle class residents who typically set a much better example. really? this is what it's come down to? reminded me of a high school cafeteria, full of half/non-truths, lack of context, innuendo and guilt by association. i expect that sort of thing from the dark side, but from reformers? really?
Deletei wonder: if mayor zimmer decided to run for a third term and it was a typical reform versus OG hoboken election (say, zimmer versus romano), would all these reformers be rabidly trash talking their reform candidate the way they are now?
who would have guessed that romano, of all people, would be running the smartest campaign so far: keep a low profile, stay out of the fray, allow reformers to shoot each other in the head and continue to give MDF enough rope so he continues to hang himself.
bingo, a winning strategy, congrats to mayor romano.
Really? Sad, not surprised.
DeleteI really like your thoughts above, GA. I think it's a great idea. Nicely said.
DeleteThanks, snoopy. A new poll out shows how counter-productive this Reform v Reform strategy has been, particularly for Giattino. The poll has DeFusco leaping over Giattino to tie for 2nd place. This internecine fighting is a loser. Those folks had better wake up to who the threats to Hoboken municipal govt are. Kinda doubt they will, so I'm asking folks to keep that unproductive squabbling out of here. It can stay over "there." Let's win this thing.
DeleteI saw the poll results. Not good.

ReplyDeleteApparently my muse is quite unamused, with a number of snowflakes of all shapes and sizes crying in their moonshine over at the Krusty Kurmudgeon Konspiracy Kook Rally.
ReplyDeleteTo put their minds at ease, let me state for the record that I take them at their words -
SomeBetterIdeas is NOT Kurt Gardiner
Hatfield McVictim is NOT Tony Soares
Kaiser Soze and numerous other doppegangers are NOT the Grand Wizard Konspiracy Kook himself.
Now clean your hankies, straighten your eyeholes and put them back over your heads and keep your eyes on the prize - winning this election for a candidate who accepts support from many sides, from many sides...
