9/7/2008:
What flooding? National politics was again the big topic of discussion in Hoboken last week. With less than 60 days left before the Presidential Election, have you made your mind up for who you’re voting for?
Besides Palin, McCain, Obama, Hanna and (soon) Ike, what other subjects made the Top 10 most discussed Hoboken411 entries for the week ending Sunday September 7th, 2008?
Hottest topics of the week
Even though McCain’s VP selection of Sarah Palin was published over a week ago, it was by far the most discussed entry on Hoboken411 this week, with well over 600 user comments. What made the top 10 list otherwise?

To bond for $4 mil is another example of the mismanagemnt of this great city. On 9/10 the Local Govt. Finance Board (DCA) will rule on their consent agenda for the supervision of Hoboken. They will announce the sanctions which will probably allow for the budget deficit to be spread over 5 years…one consequence is that this action encourages mismanagement and what stops a repeat performance? Remember, put Hoboken in your hands next year, by voting for change.
