Yesterday Mayor Fulop stepped up to the microphone and let loose with the fact PSE&G have been shortchanging Jersey City residents when it comes to tearing up their streets and putting them back together slapdash and with bubble gum and spit:
Fulop said the city is halting all non-essential PSE&G work until the utility agrees to adhere to a new city law that requires contractors to leave newly paved roads as they found them. At least seven PSE&G projects have been halted as a result of the directive, the mayor said today.
"PSE&G wouldn't do this in Short Hills," he said. "They wouldn't do this in Chatham, N.J. They wouldn't do it in affluent areas. They do this instead in Newark. They do this in East Orange. They do this in Paterson. And they do this in Jersey City."
The law mentioned was one championed by City Councilwoman Candice Osborne who noticed long ago the repairs made by PSE&G to new pave jobs was awful.
PSE&G actually said this, they really said to the media they thought they were exempt from Jersey City's you tear it up you repave and repaint it law. Now this isn't going to happen often but we're giving the famous Jersey City Desk last word to Mayor Steve Fulop who will tell you what he thinks of PSE&G thinking they were exempt from the laws where they do business:
"Crazy foolishness"
