Steve Fulop cancels the Jersey City reval

And well done there. A common sense decision and a good one. As he said he would do, Mayor-elect Steve Fulop yesterday ordered the West New York company conducting a citywide property revaluation to halt work immediately and threatened to audit the firm’s work because of its ties to a former city business administrator.

“I will not allow this back-door tax hike planned by the Healy administration to take place,” he said.

Good for you. You did what you said you do and it was completely consistent with how you've voted previously.

The mayoral ghost of Jerry Healy had no comment.

Think Fulop can't do this? Think it's too late? Rube!

Fulop insists he has the authority, or will on Monday when he becomes mayor, to stop the reval.

“They haven’t completed their work and the city hasn’t finished paying . . . which we won’t, as there are a million questions,” he said. “I don’t suppose they will proceed without being paid.”

No word on where Fulop stands on sparklers.
