Boy this Fulop inauguration is getting quite the guest list; The big man signed on to speak

The Governor himself will speak at Mr. Fulop's inauguration as well as U.S. Senator Bob Menendez. That should be a sight that will be much photographed and long remembered, this outdoor inauguration in front of city hall. It's a great idea and good for everyone on stage for again putting differences aside in an adult manner.

Which brings us to this. We realize you may have issues with the governor, some people even say his mild-mannered ways come across as brash or insulting. You may have policy differences. You may be angry he'd even consider putting the right to get married to whom you choose on the ballot instead of fighting in favor of the right side of history. You may think something he did or didn't do after Sandy makes you mad at him.

Steve Fulop's inauguration is not your place nor time to shout or protest at Christie. Strangely enough Steve Fulop's inauguration is about him. Imagine that. He deserves his day. Respect that. Jersey City is not some backwater like East Stroudsburg (we needed a new foil, they'll get this insult by telegraph by Saturday). We are a diverse city with diverse opinions that bring us together rather than tear us apart.

That's on July 2nd when the replant they trees.
