Mayor Healy would rather spend your money on protection at a fundraiser than his

Mayor Healy held a fundraiser the other night at Puccini's Restaurant while two on-duty Jersey City policemen stood guard outside. Now the mayor's minions are claiming that government official do get shot and we need only look at Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords to see this (albeit and isolated case we think). So then Mayor, since YOU are fundraising, and well since you haven't even announced you're running for re-election this is kind of a PRIVATE matter and in no way city related or tasked we sorta think the security detail should have been on YOUR dime. You're wasting our money so you can put money in your coffers for a race you may or may not run in? City Councilman Steve Fulop who IS running for Mayor in 2013 said this about the waste of taxpayer money:

“It is pathetic, as they know the city has a crime problem, and yet they take patrol officers from the busiest police district to watch over a political event,” Fulop said. “This is the type of judgment that explains why residents don’t feel safe”

Is this the biggest deal to ever hit this city? No. Does it show a complete lack of understanding on the Mayor's part about what everyone is going through financially? As per usual.
