A little something for the facts and stats crowd

Caitlin Mota at the Jersey Journal has collected and ranked the compensation packages of all the mayors of Hudson County. Pay ranges anywhere from $2500 a year to one mayor making $116K.

Mr. Fulop, what about this $750 from Birdsall?

Look we'd expect the disgraced and now bankrupt company who gave out secret donations like grandparents give out candy to have greased the palms of outgoing Mayor Healy to the tune of $4700 (for Healy and his team). We'd expect crooks like former FuHo Mayor Peter Cammarano and former Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell to be on the list for these secret donations, they loved taking money they shouldn't have and served time for doing it.

Everyone questioned in the Star-Ledger story on Birdsall's secret cash not appearing on any campaign donation filings had an excuse as for why it was there. Hudson County Executive Thomas DeGise got money and said he made no promises. North Bergen Mayor and state Sen. Nicholas Sacco said through a spokesmodel that Sacco had no knowledge money was allegedly donated in an improper way, and if that proves to be the case, the money will be donated to a charity.

We're beyond being able to shame Mayor Healy, he's done in a week. But Mr. Fulop would you kindly tell us what the secret campaign money went to? See you're sitting there having taken two and a half shares of the money (Because state law prohibits giving more than $300 to many politicians, Birdsall had its employees write personal checks to candidates and then later reimbursed the staffers with salary bonuses and lied to the state on disclosure forms) and since in this past election you were all about the need for a transparent government and how Jersey City needed to put and end to, in your words, "pay to play"we're wondering about you taking Birdsall's money.

We don't want to hear that no favors were granted. We heard that from Healy. We don't want to hear another "Well of course candidate X had no idea this money came from where it did, we'll donate it." No, what we want to hear is how you wound up with these donations Steve. Not in a press release, not in a statement from a lackey, but from YOU Mr. Reformer.

For the new face of all that is good and right with Jersey City and by extension Hudson County politics that $750 looks like a millstone around your neck.

So much news, so little time

Quite a bit of vital, disturbing, titillating, and economic Jersey City news in a segment we like to call "Go read it for yourself, Johnny's busy"

First the sexual innuendo news, North Bergen Mayor and State Senator Nicholas Sacco is being sued by an employee for commenting on her ample cleavage-ness.

Jersey City Municipal Court Judge Wilson J. Campbell is being reprimanded for having an affair with a bailiff. What was the old Cheech and Chong line from a skit they did? "Bailiff whack, his pee-pee" takes on a whole new meaning here.

A 16 year old girl was shot in the face leaving a Jersey City laundymat yesterday near Communipaw and Van Horne. Yeah, guns are a great idea...NOT. Hopefully someone will come forward with information.

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy's budget was rolled out last night. Get the details here.

Big plans for the Journal Square area are afoot. Big doings indeed. MAJOR improvements. Hyperbole aplenty. They even wanna name one of the new proposed buildings after Johnny, *sniff sniff*

Disgraced Jersey City policeman Martin Abreu blew well over the legal limit when given the breathalyzer Saturday night. He blew a .124, and had slurred speech and an open bottle of liquor in his car that hit and killed Marilyn Feng. His partner it turns out was in the car with Abreu.
