Grist for the Mill: The Corrupt and Irredeemable are not inevitable

In the final stages of Hoboken Election 2025, the so-called inevitability of the corrupt and irredeemable is not in evidence. The Hoboken 2025 election voters will decide whether the ill-informed, misinformed, or simply uninformed decide the future of the Mile Square City.

Take a look at downtown Jersey City near City Hall. It's a seascape of odd, jutting towers seemingly randomly placed. That's the Big Developers' wet dream for Hoboken.

They are close to achieving that dream, once thought dead, back when Dawn Zimmer was mayor. The issue, however, would soon arise after her departure. 

The late Jen Giattino held the line as Hoboken Council President on one big development effort led by Mayor Ravi Bhalla with his Ravibot allies on the council, Emily Jabbour, and Joe Quintero in 2019:

"Recently, the City Council declined to conduct a vote. Council President Jen Giattino asked why the mayor’s office made no notification to the public on the massive redevelopment, nor offered the public a meeting. She publicly announced she was removing the controversial plan for a vote, citing only a day separated a hastily scheduled public meeting the following day."

The sad truth about Hoboken is how many are eager and readily available to sell Hoboken out. Hoboken residents have seen this movie too many times. 

Over the weekend, former Hoboken councilman Mike DeFusco dropped a bomb with a series of X posts related to the 2017 mayoral election, where he was slimed with the evil Ravi Terror Flyer. A finger was pointed in the direction of a certain PAC that doesn't have a stronger, independent Hoboken in mind. Later that day, it was yanked, but not before dots were connected to the current election.

 

The Hudson County View editor followed this morning with a post foreshadowing said shoe.


The thing about how easily Hoboken is sold out. It's not only how readily it happens but how cheaply. 

Make out the check to "Russo for Hoboken." 

                             

Now it's time for Hoboken voters to decide. GOTV. 

Grist for the Mill is Hoboken Election 2025's rumor column, but its success makes it the most popular column in all of the Mile Square City. All the contents of this rumor column are the property of Hoboken Election 2025.

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...
