Why should business-as-usual supporter Peter Brennan have to hear ideas he doesn't like more than once every six months? Brennan is taking aim at the only real good city council member jersey City employs, Steve Fulop, by demanding any motions that don't pass cannot be brought up again for six months. Yeah Peter, who cares how pertinent these proposals could be. Who cares if the main body of the city council is simply acting obstructionist over new rules they don't want to live by, the city council here does that all the time.
Case in point, Fulop proposed, and rightfully so, that any city vehicle being paying for with taxpayer money be clearly marked as a city vehicle on city business. That's just not how Brennan and the other members of council want to be seen, they think they should keep the cars unmarked and unaccountable to the rest of us. Another case in point would be the fact Fulop wants some open government and wants Jersey City Council meetings on JCTV1, a way of keeping citizens informed. Brennan doesn't want that to happen either (Peter why show the people who vote for you what an obstructionist you really are?) and since the majority of the city council wants to protect their egregious behavior and votes as private as possible, some don't even want to hear about televised meetings for another six months when they can simply ashcan that idea too.
Peter Brennan, what REAL value do you serve on city council? What is it you really really do to help city residents? We'd love a physical tangible list of your accomplishments other than trying to block meetings from teevee or keep your city vehicle unmarked and on the sly.
You know how to reach us.
