My endorsements (green) |
People, it's very important that rancid New Jersey Trumplican candidates- like that Jackass Ciatarrelli- get clobbered. Locally, our unopposed mayor may be a done-deal, but the Hoboken City Council majority is up for grabs.
I give my personal endorsement to At-Large council candidates Emily Jabbour, Jim Doyle and Joe Quintero.
Sure, they are on the Mayor's slate, but there isn't a 'politician' among them. None of the three actually like politics, they are true public servants. Incumbents Jim and Emily have a record of progressive-activism- I call them unpoliticians. I know that Emily and Jim are as disgusted at the endless council majority sniping at City Hall, their constant effort to undermine Executive authority, by changing our local ordinance- be it tampering with the "donut hole", defunding his Office of Constituent Services, or taking away his board appointment powers so they can stack boards with cronies. When it comes to power, they want it all.
The only "check" that's needed is on their continual overstepping their own legislative powers to dig at the mayor, his staff, his Directors, even the Police Chief.
It's gotta stop.
Fisher- Giattino will continue their politics of personal grievance. They scrambled to find 3 candidates to keep their majority- if "Independently Together" slate is elected that means 3 HOBOKEN REALTORS will be seated on the City Council. What kind of "check" is that? Enough with this Fisher-Giattino majority obstruction and political infighting. How about civility? I love boring.
Jim is incredibly boring (with excellent grammar) and Emily is a doer- not a talker. Neither are interested in partisan warfare. Joe Q seems like a straight-up guy, possibly as boring as Jim. I hope so. All three are about PUBLIC SERVICE, not whining on Facebook or Twitter.
Last but not least...
Honorable Mention goes to the candidate who ran the most animated campaign in Hoboken history: Ian Rintel. I mean that literally: his campaign was animated! I personally like Ian, he also is not about partisan nonsense- but alas we only vote for three.
VOTE FOR TEAM BHALLA!
AND PLEASE RE-ELECT BOE TRUSTEES Malani Cademartori, Thomas Kluepfel, and Ailene McGuirk
