Now you know: it's not just me.
Others have caught on; public service is not relentless campaigning against the guy who beat you for mayor; it's about keeping your promises and, most of all, work.
And work happens quietly. It doesn't come with press releases, photo ops or Tweets. For an elected official, it includes meeting with constituents, visiting Hoboken's schools, listening to residents then following up with their concerns, and keeping campaign promises.

And nobody gives a crap about an elected official's hurt feelings. The People don't care what you feel or what you say, they care what you do. For them.
Bemoaning bathroom signage that's not hung fast enough, making a stink because you didn't get a speaking part at the LGBT flag raising, whining because the Mayor held a meeting without you (note, he failed to arrange his own constituents meeting in 2 1/2 years), repeating the same attack lines over and over like a broken wind-up doll... A never-ending litany of complaints makes a complainer, not a do-er.
Like I said, other folks have caught on. GA is blocked from @mike_defusco, and to be honest... I think Twitter sucks. The Orange Caligula totally ruined it for me. Serious.
Anyhoo, a reader sent these screencaps... It looks like the First Ward Councilman's media stunt about being excluded from the Marine View residents-meeting has struck a sour note with random folks.
Final word: how dare this nitwit complain about "using taxpayer resources" when he doesn't attend the meetings he's invited to at the Planning Board!
Attending Planning Board meetings is his job. His salary is paid by Hoboken taxpayers.
I want my money back!
He is an idiot. How is this a taxpayer funded meeting? Did it happen on city hall grounds? Did the city rent the room? Sorry dumbass but just because the mayor and a member or two of his staff attended this PRIVATE meeting on PRIVATE property, that doesn't mean you get to tag along. Perhaps if you were a little less insufferable, someone at MV would ask the building to host you at a similar meeting so you could pretend to get to know your constituents better.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the reception Medium Density Fiberboard gets at the Annual Spaghetti Dinner this year. Last year's "Just get the BLANK away from me" may just be the tame in comparison.
ReplyDeleteAnd over in the Twittersphere, allegedly, Medium Density Fiberboard's significant other is on the hookup app for anonymous sex known as Grindr, and tried to out someone else who is too.
