Last Wednesday December 17, 2008 a group of about 300-400 protested outside of Hoboken City Hall in response to the large tax increase, 47% on the municipal portion just levied for 3rd and 4th Quarter for 2008. The Group Revolt was one of the organizers and at the time I had not joined officially yet. I did decide to show up and put my own twist on it by dressing up as the Grim Reaper with this sign to voice my disgust. Granted, the City Council is not blameless but it is the Administration that is responsible for the spending and the buck stops with the Mayor, Dave Roberts.
Here was my slogan:
"I Will Give You Death, Roberts Gave You More Taxes"
Such a grim confession indeed.
