Minor league baseball, in Hoboken? It's a pipe dream for now BUT

We can have fun trying to come up with a name unique to the mile square city. 2nd Ward Councilwoman Beth Mason was recently waxing poetic about her ideas for development of the northwest corner of the city when the idea of building a minor league baseball park came up. So, what might they or you call this team?

Big Brother is watching in Hoboken, and the Hoboken City Council is OK with that

The Hoboken City Council asked for, and received permission to install "Red Light Running Automated Enforcement pilot program" cameras for stoplights at 14th Street and Willow Avenue. These are the kinds of cameras that take pictures of motorists who might be skating through red or yellow lights and issue citations through the mail.

Now the Hoboken City Council has said no decisions have been made as to install the cameras. They'll need to discuss if they really want to spy on drivers. Guess what, they're going to do this. If they were going to do it for safety reasons, they'd have said YES instantly. If the TRUE idea was for safety, they'd have made this a done deal right now. If it was REALLY about safety they'd have made significant changes to the intersection by now. No, citizens, the REAL reason this would be done is money. Cold hard ticket money. Imagine the power to raise revenue by doing nothing. That's what this is really all about. Cash in the coffers.

Wait and see, they'll pass this and they'll say it's all about safety, and they'll be lying through their teeth.

And uh, Mayor Healy and the Jersey City Council, don't get any ideas or we'll rain holy hell down upon you. Big Brother, at least to most thinking people, is a BAD idea.

Hoboken residents--They're not happy with a 47% property tax hike

And who can blame them? 47%? Jumpin Jeebus on horseback. Take much there Mayor David Roberts? 250 LIVID Hoboken residents protested at the Hoboken City Hall last night. Resident Diane Imus said their property taxes went from 17 large to 26 thousand a YEAR. Is the city of Hoboken SERIOUS? That's robbery in our opinion. At this rate if Mayor Roberts and the Hoboken City Council don't get their heads out of their collective asses who is going to be left to live there? The uber wealthy and the welfare recipients. If more people leave, less people pay taxes and then the mayor and city council will go after MORE of Hoboken residents cash.

Just heinous. 47% increase, ridonculous....
