...and quite surprised at your tack but go on, this is so unlike you:
The administration should "take into account the new realities of Jersey City's growing development," Lavarro said last night, when the council adopted three new tax breaks, two 25-year abatements and one lasting 15 years.
Building in Jersey City is now "less of a risk in some neighborhoods," he said.
Now as many of you know Johnny has been after Council President Rolando Lavarro about being an absolute rubber stamp for Mayor Fulop's Crazy-Abatement-Land style of government. Now Lavarro is breaking with Fulop and we cautiously wonder if he doesn't finally see the light (That the Newport abatements are up and new tax rates as such are now allowing Mayor Fulop to hide a lot of his irresponsible spending) or if he's just talking the talk because he'd like to run for mayor next go-round if Fulop is successful in his yet unannounced bid for governor.
We're watching you Rolando, don't mess this up, spending is a serious serious issue. Glad you're listening.
What exactly prevented this shmuck from voting down abatements that day? Wait, he actually managed to pull off his sleeve another one outside of listed agenda, which was put on hold in January. And Byrne just happened to have paperwork on hand. What are the chances of that? How convenient?
ReplyDeleteIn view of this, I say translation of Rolandos words are as follows:
"These measly bribes ya developers are giving us won't do anymore. You got to cough up more, or else".
LOL, I like your style
