Mayor Fulop submitted his latest budget and for the 3rd straight year this growing city will have no tax increases. We're adding cops, giving hundreds of millions in new abatements, giving loans to developers and that's before the reval, and Jersey City is still an Abbot District city.
Even a Spendy McSpendface children's character would have to realize the ride stops sometime. The time to sock money away is now. Johnny is president of a local board. That board, now that there are no emergencies and things are going well, are still collecting for that rainy day when it comes. Collect the money and invest it back smartly. The day is quickly approaching that this city will need some fall back money and the time to collect that is now while things are supposedly good and can be done in small doses.
What is we need another surge in cops? What if the roof over part of the PATH falls in somewhere, sure it's PA but you'd better have money and a plan. What if winter causes plow trucks to double planned overtime. All things even a nominal increase could be used for.
Don't cry poor later when the time for this was, well, now.

A Jersey City Desk Editorial
Know who's not an Ebola expert and doesn't have anyone on full-time staff who really truly has a working understanding of Ebola and what happens in such a global outbreak? Chris Christie.
Know who are experts on the Ebola? The CDC and World Health Organization, both of whom Chris Christie is pretending he knows more than because he's trying to raise money for the flat earth society. Cuomo conceded he didn't know what they know and NY are no longer sending people to Ebola yurts. If Christie keeps on this path then no doubt Steve Fulop will meet with certain handpicked council members and Toll Brothers to give a 30% tax abatement for 20 years to build Ebola Housing Downtown. Without fail some advertising douche would name it The Virale! Then when they get ready to break ground Toll will tell city planning they don't want stupid Ebola patients anywhere near let alone inside their glamour pad. City Planning will of course capitulate.
We don't want that Jersey City so contact Christie's office and tell him to shut his yapper and listen to real experts. If the World Health Organization or CDC ever wants analysis or lyrical meaning of ANY Bruce Springsteen song they should not hesitate to contact Governor Christie. Christie needs the old "less talk more listen" approach here.
