FOX NY has put pretty much everyone involved in Jersey City politics, from Mayor McCheese to every city council member (again EXCEPT Steve Fulop) in their Hall of Shame over city vehicles that council members refuse to give up even after tagging the rest of us with a tax increase. Indicted pinhead Mariano Vega even ADMITS taking his 'city business only' Jeep out to the Catskills.
Not only do these sense of entitlement luddites think that a car for a part time job is a birthright, they will NOT stand for any kind of sticker on the vehicle owned by the city that says "Jersey City Business only" so taxpayers could see if a city vehicle spends a lot of time hanging outside bars, shopping centers and or being driven down Bradley Beach way (Mayor Healy anyone?) or to the Catskills (Indicted Vega anyone?). The situation is so ridiculous that when Mariano Vega was indicted for taking bribes and lost his county issue vehicle, he just asked Mayor Kwame Healy for one and it was GIVEN to him.
Citizens, the time has come. These people have shown they hold the voters and residents of this city in the highest contempt. They feel the ONLY time they answer to people is on election day (and as we learned after election day one city council person, Nidia Lopez is actually a Florida resident yet we pay for her ride). Well THE HELL WITH THIS.
From now on when you see a city council member with their Jeep or other city issued vehicle, follow them around with your camera phone. Take movies and take pictures of the actual 'city business' they find themselves on. Hound them until they can't stand the sight of you. Don't be afraid to get in their faces, this is just as much YOUR city as it is theirs. DO NOT be afraid to stand up to these little Napoleans. Take those images, take those videos and send them here, we'll HAPPILY publish our crooked city council (again apologies to Steve Fulop who is NOT one of them) wasting OUR money as they see fit. Better yet, if you see one of them taking their city owned cars shopping to to Target or anywhere else, CONFRONT THEM. Get in their faces, give them not a minutes peace. If they don't like it tell them hard cheese.
Let's remind our mayor and city council who runs Bartertown. Next up, a ballot initiative to permanently take away city cars for council members and the mayor. The trains work just fine here in Jersey City.
City government in Jersey City can start paying attention to it's residents or there are ways to make sure they do.
As V said to Evey in the movie 'V for Vendetta': "People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people."
