I had challenged frequent poster BethRusso to tell me why they supported Peter Cammarano for Mayor. BethRusso has had many posts that were critical of both Mike Russo and Beth Mason. In the interests of keeping a dialogue open I have posted the content as is with some formatting changes for readability. This is not my position as Peter would not be my choice for Mayor. Refer to post 14516 on the forum for the orginal discussion.
Peter Cammarano Talking Points by poster BethRusso:
- He publicly called for the suspension of the Hoboken Police officers involved in the Hooters scam.
- He publicly is fighting against the NJ Transit Development by the train station.
- He was the founder of healthy Tuesday for needy children where they learned how to eat healthy to avoid obesity, these children when to the farmers market to pick put fresh fruit, they went to HCCC for cooking classes, and held an event at the Jubilee Center where Good Morning America held their daily morning show.
- He fought and stated the “SAY NO TO FARE HIKE” when port authority wanted to raise fare by 33percent and he won. Visit http://www.stopthepathhike.com/.
- He also was the only council member to offer a re-organize the table of organization.
- He fought not to sell the garage to the lowest bidder when mason Zimmer and Dave Roberts wanted to along with other council members when the difference was extremely large amount.
- He also has worked extremely hard with seniors, HHA, and all Hoboken Citizens .
- But most important is he voted against the state takeover, when other council members voted for it, and then realized when they were wrong they went to Trenton and made a fool of themselves.
And finally, poster BethRusso asserts Peter always votes with the best interest of the Hoboken citizens.
How do you feel about this? Feel free to chime in. ◦
