Johnny would say "Only in Jersey City" but this kind of threading the needle to hand out tax money goes on everywhere. Mayor Fulop announced his support for a new 30 year abatement (oh look, ANOTHER 30 year abatement just 22 days into his new term) and tried to couch it because the of the units to get the huge tax break THREE would be earmarked for homeless veterans. This is the kind of shitty cynical politics Johnny is just sick of. It's couched to look and sound like if you don't support this deal or question the 30 year abatement for so few units, YOU look like you hate vets. Johnny is going to turn that around on the mayor and others who would fawn over this deal and ask, THREE units? That's SOME commitment you're trying to tie your boat to mayor. Three whole spots? In the years you've been mayor and now you want to trade on three units.
Johnny's dad was a vet. One of his good friends was a Blackhawk helicopter pilot for the Army in Iraq. Johnny's support of the military and vets isn't some kind of "if we can fit it in for politics sake" commitment and Johnny's not the vet here, the mayor is.
Three units. Yet those opposed to this deal are the ones who are supposed to look bad. Don't think that's going to be the case.
