Dini offers a clean slate: Censorship!

On Friday, someone sent an Instagram posted by the Dini Ajmani campaign. Even though it wasn't a new post, I added some "color" there how Dini has NEVER criticized Ravi Bhalla in the last eight years he was financially wrecking Hoboken.

Adding that the Ajmani family has donated thousands of dollars to Bhalla and his Ravibots team including $500 to mayoral candidate Emily Jabbour as recent as last year.

Was later informed that my comments among others which did not glorify the mayoral candidate have been summarily removed.

That's a big no-no, as in illegal, even for campaign postings in the "public square" discussing policy where even the less than rigorous utterances typical on Instagram. Very bad, very bad, Dini. 

I'd sooner expect that from someone like Emily Jabbour who has been accused of doxxing someone anonymously that publicly posted criticism but that's unconfirmed so that episode of Mean Girls won't go to air. 

Mayoral candidate Michael Russo posted about aligning closer with Stevens which is great except it's an old idea where there's been progress (until Ravi Bhalla took the mayor's office). Pointed out Russo has been kinda busy on other matters over his decades at City Hall. (cough, cough) Russo could have deleted the late Friday post on X but hasn't.

 

The irony here is that Dini claims to be offering Hoboken a "clean slate" but it's more than a little disingenuous with her Ravibot contributions exclusively highlighted here last week. 


Maybe censorship is synonymous with a "clean slate" in Hoboken.

Emily Jabbour to State of New Jersey - 'Shut down Elysian Charter school'

Image
Councilwoman Emily Jabbour sought the closure of Hoboken's Elysian Charter School As a member of the City Council, Emily Jabbour sent a 2020 letter to the NJ Department of Education commissioner, Dr. Lamont Repoilet, in an effort to block the expansion of the Elysian Charter School. Based on her ideological definition of "equity," Jabbour also sought to have the Elysian Charter School closed and " rejoin " the Hoboken public school district. The Elysian Charter School is the oldest charter school in Hoboken, founded in 1997 by a group called Mile Square Families, a collection of local parents who wanted to improve public education in the Mile Square City. It opened its doors later in 1997, seeking to establish a progressive, hands-on, and child-centric model of learning.  In recent years, Hoboken school board members and city officials have clamored for space in the lower education ages with population growth. That growth could see accommodation with offers from...

Michael Russo to Emily Jabbour on how to do Soprano State, "Pay to Play" - follow the leader!

Image
Michael Russo, the Hoboken councilman with legendary corruption seen on an FBI undercover video getting busy with his illicit big developer Solomon Dwek, adds typical family fare via the Hoboken Housing Authority in this exclusive investigative report. Following last week's revelation of Councilwoman Emily Jabbour's receipt of $1,000 from the head of the CLEAR automatic ticketing program  came to light, coinciding almost to the minute with her vote approving the controversial pilot program, a new revelation from a council colleague and mayoral candidate.  As Russo might say to Emily, "Hold my beer." Michael Russo, as seen in this edited campaign clue card, has been getting busy with it at the HHA. After completing his $2,000,000 bankruptcy case in late 2023, he's wasted no time in Soprano State style pay-to-play. When Russo was handed a seat on the Hoboken Housing Authority in mid-June 2021, eyebrows were immediately raised. Why would the City Council do such a th...
