In response to a letter from Hoboken's Charter School presidents asking to share a $1M gift to the Hoboken Public Education Fund, Mayor Bhalla has taken action.
Bhalla spent the entire day in talks with KMS (the developer) and with all 3 Charter school presidents, and hammered out an agreement for an additional $500K giveback to be shared as follows: $300K to Hoboken's Charter Schools and $200K for Hoboken's Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
The letter below from the Mayor to Charter School parents succinctly explains his support for the HPEF give-back:
At the same time, the Mayor explains as a charter school parent himself, he understands the need Charters have for capital improvements, and so negotiated a donation on their behalf.
The Mayor's letter, posted in full below, also breaks news on details of the KMS givebacks, scheduled to be announced tomorrow morning.
MAYOR'S LETTER ANNOUNCING GIVEBACKS
Jen and Tiff must be fuming mad. Screw them.
ReplyDeletesee if you can spot the difference:
ReplyDeletetiff/jen/MDF/ruben -- complain, whine, scheme, obstruct
peter -- umm, whatever tiff/jen tell me to do.
russo -- pass the popcorn
mayor bhalla -- get shit done.
Ha! Just attended the presser. It was wonderful, a real happy vibe. Got pics, video. Was speaking to the developer after, just getting into design issues-- wanted to feel out whether we could swap out architect or change design--when Jen came over and BUTTED IN, interrupting with, "I just wanted to say..." like she's Queen Shit. So I was never able to get the design topic back on track. Will prob post later.
DeleteUnless she plans on apologizing for being a horse's ass or a giant tool, I don't want to hear squat for her. She needs to just STFU already. She and her obstructionist cronies have done enough damage.
DeleteWhat a surprise! Good for Ravi for getting this done. I had the pleasure of a cruise with KMS on board with Ron Hines and "Fund for a Better Waterfront" and Dennis Martin and his folks were amazing! Frank took pics and it was one of many events I attended with Frank. These folks are the real deal. Congrats! By the way I never saw any of the council members at these events, not until it was time to run. I know one guy around this project who should be really embarrassed that he wanted DeFusco first for Mayor and then Jen for Mayor. He knows who he is. We would disagree all the time. Silly Silly man
ReplyDeleteWe already covered this on Horse and Friends.
ReplyDeleteThe real story is a bribery and extortion scandal involving the terror flyers and 70-story waterfront high-rises and Crooked Bhallary getting Albio Sires seat in congress.
You are so behind the curve all the time. Last time it was the budget line item for pizza at Marine View. The real story was a bribery and extortion scandal involving the terror flyers and 70-story waterfront high-rises and Crooked Bhallary getting Albio Sires seat in congress.
Remember when Doyle got booted off the planning board in favor of someone who promised not to bore the public by going to a lot of meetings and reporting back?
You totally missed the point of the story, which was a bribery and extortion scandal involving the terror flyers and 70-story waterfront high-rises and Crooked Bhallary getting Albio Sires seat in congress.
I shouldn't do this, but I feel sorry for you so I'm giving you a scoop.
Early tomorrow morning Crooked Bhallary will do something that looks to the untrained observer like he is going down to the corner for a bagel. Pure smoke screen! What's really happening? A bribery and extortion scandal involving the terror flyers and 70-story waterfront high-rises and Crooked Bhallary getting Albio Sires seat in congress.
There you go. A freebie. You should really just close up shop if you can't get this one right.

saw a giant slowly lumbering down Washington st in the middle of the afternoon yesterday. sat down on a bus stop bench and watched buses go by, obviously not waiting for one. seemed kind of lost, a lost soul.
DeleteJust lettin' you know (Hugh Huge & Anon 12:18): everytime a comment is dropped here about Team snowflake: Kurt 'I'm a winner' Gardiner, Roman 'paparazzi-stalker' Brice, and Tony 'I can dish it out but can't take it' Soares, they go apeshit on yours truly. Now, I can take it, but really... can I ask a favor? Just ignore them. Hugh Huge: you are a repeat offender. Why? I have no interest in their lives, their opinions, their activities. Truly. None interest me. They don't matter. All three are losers in my book, and worst of all, mean people. They wish to do harm. I never saw this characteristic when we were friends. Okay, except for Tony. Always knew he could be mean and nasty, but he could be kind and generous, too. And he'll never let you forget it!
DeleteSo can folks just stop writing about them? If any want to jerk off / obsess about me-- that's their problem, I can ignore. In fact, saw some keyboard cowboys yesterday, and their tiny testicles retracted-- so brave behind the keyboard, but none had a word to say to my face.
So I ask you all to please try to ignore. Can we stick to politics ? I truly don't give a fuck about any of them. Thank you.
will do, GA. I never go to that blog, so had no idea they were taking it out on you.
DeleteNo prob. Think of it like a bad divorce- one side moves on, the other is malevolent.
DeleteA wise poster named Kudos observed on MSV that the blogs had devolved into forums fixated on each other. When we fall into that trap the forces of lunacy arguably really are in some sense winning.
DeleteThe handful of individuals who shall not be named by me have made themselves irrelevant. Best to let them keep the status they have so richly earned.
numbers, please there is no equivalency between comments here and on MSV- that was a characterization by Kudos, who from my observation is not wise. At all.
DeleteMy commenters are intelligent and fair-minded. Some are brilliant, like Hugh Huge whom I offended earlier but he/she is a big boy/girl and can figure out why I said what I said. I put a lot of work into this blog for a reason, and it's not to provide a shooting gallery. Let them do/say what they want over there in that toxic waste dump, I wash this blog of them. Scrub-a-dub-dub!
I was agreeing with you GA, not creating false equivalence. They who shall not be named are ripe targets for satire, and I've very much enjoyed the satirical references here from Hugh and others. I've even engaged in some satire myself at times. But even laughing at them gives them relevance they are not worthy of, and as you note it provokes the spewing of venom toward you and others.
DeleteAs you say, its best to let them wallow in the muck together in their lonely echo chamber. To the world outside, they don't exist much less matter. Entertaining as it is to laugh at them, they aren't worthy even of satire.
GA, you don't think Kudos is a wise owl? I do.
DeleteThat's a good theory. I'll agree!
DeleteAnon @ 10:15- as I said above a couple of times, the comment threads here will no longer discuss that toxic waste dump and the beasts who comment there. No mas! Hoboken politics provide plenty of fodder for discussion and ridicule!
