NO WONDER PETER CUNNINGHAM GOT THE HELL OFF THIS TICKET
This week, political reporter Al Sullivan put down his crack pipe long enough to smell the North Bergen stink all over one Hoboken council ticket. It really didn't take a genius to figure out, since Al's newspaper gets press releases from Sacco's public relations firm, Vision Media. And yes, Vision Media now represents Jen Giattino and Tiffanie Fisher, as well as Mike DeFusco and Ruben Ramos.
So, thanks to Al for bringing this fact to everyone's attention, because Nick Sacco has been trying to expand his network of alleged patronage jobs and contracts, and development into Hoboken since 2017.
In 2017, mayoral candidate Mike DeFusco played Sacco's muse. DeFusco was squired around Hudson County by Sacco captain Joey Muniz; Muniz introduced DeFusco as "Hoboken's next mayor" at county fundraisers and events. And when DeFusco lost, Sacco picked up with the allegiance of Tiffanie Fisher and Jen Giattino who stood by Sacco candidate Tom DeGise, as did Ruben Ramos.
Note: this Sacco coalition didn't happen overnight. In March 2018, Giattino accepted a Sacco loyalist's "free" legal opinion which was used to pass an ordinance against the advice of Hoboken Corporation Counsel.
In return for Fisher's loyalty to DeGise, last May the County allowed Fisher to throw fourteen of Mayor Bhalla's Hoboken Democratic Committee candidates off the line ("Column A")- including Bhalla's brother Amar! The County later restored ten of the mayor's discarded candidates to Column A on the ballot, including his brother.
Peter Cunningham saw the writing on the wall. No way in hell was he going to be an instrument to the alleged looting and pillaging of Hoboken for patronage jobs and contracts by being proxies for an outside political boss.
DO THEIR SUPPORTERS KNOW?
And so, appears that Giattino and Fisher may be deceiving their supporters by failing to notify them that they are receiving help from Sacco associates and are a defacto slate with Ruben Ramos and Mike DeFusco. Too bad, because Al Sullivan spilled the beans this weekend.
They ARE a team. They ARE supported by North Bergen. North Bergen (allegedly!) wants jobs, contracts and DEVELOPMENT. Jen Giattino and Tiffanie Fisher are selling out Hoboken to hold onto political power.
As noted above, Giattino already accepted a favor from Nick Sacco-- legal work which she converted to a political contribution. In the parlance of HudCo political corruption, she owes him.
Reform folks who support this "fusion" ticket- watch this NBC NEWS I-Team report. Is this what you want for Hoboken?

TIFFANIE FISHER AND JEN GIATTINO HIDE KICK-OFF GUEST LISTS FROM PUBLIC VIEW (ONLY FACEBOOK "FRIENDS" CAN SEE)
It looks like Al Sullivan's 'reveal' has driven these candidates underground.
They did not block me specifically from viewing their Kick-Off guest lists (which they could have done.) Only Facebook "friends" can now view the Councilwomen's guest lists. Interesting. Why not allow the public to see who is attending these fundraisers? Too many developers? Too many out-of-town power brokers? Well, since some guests may be targets of the ongoing federal investigation into voter fraud in Hoboken, lets hope the F.B.I. can access!

Here's the thing. Their surrogates prattle on 365 days a year about the perceived horror that is Ravi Bhalla.
ReplyDeleteHe's funneling contracts to his lawfirm. (Zero proof of that and easily confirmed).
He let Anthony Russo visit city hall and didn't run someone in the 3rd - that proves he's with Mik Russo. (Absolutely brain-dead analysis.)
He has a bloated staff. (It's never been about size, always about the politics.)
He made the anti-Ravi flyer. (Both brain-dead analysis and absolutely zero proof.)
And whatever else you want to toss in.
Let's say it is all true. Everything. Every completely unsupported accusation is true.
Your answer, Tiffanie and Jen and your once savvy supporters, is Nick Sacco?
Nick Sacco?
That's your magic bullet? Your secret ingredient, your miracle cure? Throwing in with the most Capra-esque political machine overlord in the state? That's how you'll save Hoboken from what you think Ravi has done, could do, might do, is capable of doing?
Nick Sacco?
I've left Defusco and Ramos out of that rhetorical question because I know their answer. They give that answer every day in one form or another. And no one with any sense has ever trusted them. But people trusted Tiffanie and Jen and their once savvy supporters.
WTF??? WT Everliving F???
