Who has power in Hoboken?
Posted by: Hoboken411 at 06:28 pm on November 2, 2012
Hoboken power coming back very slowly
While other towns are getting their power back, Hoboken is mostly still stuck in the dark ages. Below is a map that shows where the lights are on. Hopefully more spots are restored – and quickly. The consensus from countless residents (and especially seniors) – is that the Zimmer administration has done a pretty poor job with Hurricane Sandy – despite the scale of the event. I’ve even received emails from people across the country who saw our Mayor on TV and felt bad for us (her lack of composure, begging, apparent instability, etc.) In the most dire of times, people need leaders – not whiners.
Hang in there everyone!

animal_lover – the area of the projects is generally a non-tax paying segment of the community. It only makes sense to help the taxpaying areas first … I was without power for a week, have young children and was trapped on my block, but was able to survive without ANOTHER government handout like Hazel wants and you endorse. Did you go out and volunteer?

Dear Councilman Russo – I live right across the street from you and did not see you outside once. Were you in Hoboken during this storm? What efforts did you take to make sure your constituents were safe?
Answer – None. People at Church Towers had better smarten up and realize that this guy is a clown – time to move on come next election!

CHOW- More of your sensible, opinionated and judgemental “truths”. Give yourself a big pat on tbe back for not evacuating. Try to reread my post w/o a prior opinion – and then respond. Better yet, understand the role and functioning that government, nonprofits and taxes ACTUALLY play not how you imagine them to be. Did you vote , donate blood, make a contribution to the red cross or yor church… take in a stranded evacuee? Enough w your self righteousness and have a little gratitude rather than attempt to knock others.

YOU, are one screwed up, self-centered individual. If I were YOU, I would pack up and move somewhere where your needs would be tended to first. To hell with the needy, poor, or those who cannot pay taxes. They can be cold, starve or be stranded til your self-serving need be met. YOU, are the perfect example of an asshole.

I have seen your posts regularly on this site and your handle should be Whiner because that is all you do. YES, my family as taxpaying, hardworking group should come first. D-bags like your self believe that we need to keep giving more and more entitlements to this group.
You probably live in a rent controlled apartment and work for the state. Maybe you should just say thank you to me for paying your salary!
MAYBE YOU SHOULD BLAME CARMELO GARCIA!!!

LMAO. Seems to me that YOU’RE the one doing all the bitching and whinning here (count your postings). And you’re crystal ball as to where I work, live, and who pays my salary are wrong assumptions too. Guess you’re not the “know-it-all” you think you are. And besides all the bullshit in your reply, it doesn’t change the fact that your’re an asshole.

Rent Controlled apartments in Hoboken are not subsidized by tax payers, and are not given out based on income level. You can be a Wall Street executive and live in a rent control apartment. That’s what is so ridiculous about the system. They are subsidized by the property owner.

Name calling – so juvenile. I guess your class off people understands you better that I do.
How do you feel about Carmelo Garcia’s response to the events in the projects? There was no photo op so he was probably home watching TV.

There’s not a damned thing you understand. This isn’t about Carmelo Garcia or any of my postings either. It’s about an asshole like you who thinks they can section off this town and then determine who’s entitled to what, and when they can receive it during a crisis. It’s jerks like you who divide this city and it’s my duty to make you aware that ALL in this town will be treated equally, and NOT just idiots like you who seem to feel their shit don’t stink. Guess Russo living across the street from you and NOT attending to you personally gives you all the reasons to know he doesn’t consider you “special” either, and I commend it for it.
