More mayors in New Jersey say they're starting to consider foul play

[RandySF]

Mayors in New Jersey say they're starting to consider foul play on behalf of the Christie administration in light of the George Washington Bridge lane closure controversy.

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer says she had a face to face visit with Governor Christie in the Spring, when he asked her to endorse him for re-election.

She told him she would be remaining neutral.

“He was quite disappointed, but I wouldn't say that he was angry. He was disappointed and said he would keep asking,” Zimmer said. "And I said, 'We can keep the conversation going but I don't expect to be changing my position.’ And I didn't.”

She had applied for a Hazard Mitigation Grant to protect Hoboken from flooding. During Sandy, 80 percent of the city was under water.

Zimmer says she asked the state for $100 million in grants. She got $300,000 — a fraction of 1 percent.

1. The measly grant for Hazard Mitigation a Coincidence? Believe that and I've

got the proverbial GWB to sell ya.

"In Jersey City, Mayor Steven Fulop recently disclosed that the Christie administration cancelled several meetings — the day after he refused to endorse the Governor" More Coincidence?

"In Elizabeth, Chris Bollwage, who has been the mayor for 21 years, says his city has gotten payback from Christie after its state legislators opposed several pieces of the Governor's legislation.

“The Governor's retribution was to close down the Division of Motor vehicles here in the city of Elizabeth, which is the fourth largest city in the state of New Jersey,” Bollwage said." JHC on a Revenge Cracker!

"Now, Bollwage says Christie's budget, and political relationships, are going to be under a microscope."

Yeah, look what the cruel stupid brings ya.

6. If only

More of us had held our noses and voted for Corzine - or had gotten on board with Buono.

I held my nose for Corzine.

I gave time, energy, money to Buono only to quite literally have the door shut in my face by Registered Democratic Party members.

If only . . .

When liberals and progressives say elections don't count or they are all the same - let NJ be an example of just how much elections matter. Every single one matters.
