Hoboken Week in Review: 5/15/2011
Some of the most noteworthy posts for the week ending Sunday, May 15, 2011:
Politics and City Happenings
- Council Election Complete! – A Hoboken rarity – no runoff elections! The Mayans were right!
- Bookmarking Fraud – The last few weeks were not without highly questionable incidents. Here’s a handy list of bookmarks we’ll surely be revisiting again in the future:
- What next for Tom Greaney? – will he “sail away,” “fly by night,” or continue his involvement in Hoboken now that he’s no longer useful?
- Out of town voters – Will that happen again in 2013?
- 4th Ward Fraud – Will more Zimmer supporters vote where they’re told? Or where they live?
- Ohaus Lynch Mob Continues – The Kids First group of political thugs are looking for any possible loophole to rid Hoboken of a highly respected and loved teacher of the arts. Sounds more like society de-volving!
- Why such voter apathy? – The never ending mystery of why hardly anyone votes in municipal elections.
- Cake Boss hops the river – Expands to NYC Times Square. Will than lessen the load in Hoboken?
