And by 'our', Johnny means Jersey City.
Tuesday night City Councilman Steve Fulop led a demonstration of over 300 people at city hall to demand the resignation of crooked city council member Mariano Vega. Many in the crowd also were clamoring for the resignation of Mayor Healy who was present at meetings where dirty money was discussed if not given out. Said Fulop at the rally:
"Every single time that we hire somebody's brother, somebody's cousin based on political patronage. Every single time that a contract doesn't go to the lowest bidder. Every single time that an envelope is taken it is a tax that you pay for at the end of the day"
When asked about Councilman Fulop's positions, Mayor Healy who was attending a 'National Night Out' event a ways away from the rally got all pissy and said:
"Tonight is a great opportunity to get the community involved with the Police Department. Attempts to make political hay out of it by some folks with his own political agenda and ambitions, trying to usurp this event ... I don't have a lot of respect for"
What a little tantrum THAT was Mayor Healy. Wanna know the irony of your idiotic words? National Night Out was a way to fight crime. Wanna know what else is a crime? Taking illegal money for favors in government. The only difference is, those crimes happen in broad daylight and there is no need to turn your porch lights on or stand outside against it. Apple Jacks boxes filled with money are passed in the middle of the day, not in the dark of night. Meetings are held to buy influence in the Jersey City government in the diners at lunchtime, not in a back alley or street corner at 3 am.
You are one crooked embarrassment to this city mayor. You and Mariano Vega should step down for OUR sake. We don't need your taint on our city government any longer. The crowds will only get bigger. Next time maybe we bring torches and pitchforks.
LEAVE US BE
