Here is a letter from Peter Cammarano's Volunteer General Counsel Michael Goldberg. It is not an outright endorsement although we can assume he is supporting Peter but rather a suggestion to voters to reach out to each candidate and get more information before deciding. Here is his letter as written. Remember people can be presented with the same information and come to different conclusions. As the editor of this blog it feel it is important to publish multiple viewpoints, especially when I don't necessarily draw the same conclusions:
Who should you Vote for on June 9th?
Dear Editor:
My name is Michael Goldberg and I am Team Cammarano's Volunteer General Counsel. I have known Peter Cammarano for the past five years. He is not only a close friend, but a person I professionally respect. Recently, I have had the opportunity worked closely with Mr. Cammarano and his council slate, Angel Alicia, Vincent Addio, and Raul Morales. I truly believe Hoboken would greatly benefit from their leadership over the next four years. That is why I will be casting my vote for Team Cammarano on June 9th.
However, unlike other letters you may read, I am not going to persuade you to vote for one candidate or another based on my opinion or beliefs. I want you to make your own decision once you have all the relevant information. In other words, I want you to be an informed voter.
Go to each candidate's headquarters. Mr. Cammarano's is at 119 Washington Street and Ms. Zimmer's is at 619 Washington Street. Speak with each candidate. Ask him or her some questions and listen to the answers.
Afterward, watch the Hoboken Report's Debate (http://www.HudsonReporter.com/pages/multimedia) and the Our Lady of Grace Debate (http://www.hobokenpog.org/ or on Channel 78). These debates represent each candidate’s vision of Hoboken past, present, and future. The debates also show how each candidate will act under pressure (an event no doubt to occur often during the next mayor’s tenure). Listen how each candidate answers the questions and watch their body language.
Also, go to each candidate's website (Mr. Cammarano’s website is http://www.cammarano09.com/ and Ms. Zimmer’s website is http://www.zimmerforchange.com/). Read each candidate’s blueprint for the future of Hoboken and various community endorsements. Perhaps even watch some videos.
Congratulations. You are an informed voter. Now ask yourself the following questions:
(1) Which candidate, Peter Cammarano or Dawn Zimmer, would you feel more confident with leading Hoboken over the next four years?
(2) Which candidate is better equipped to handle the unexpected?
(3) Which candidate is more qualified, competent, and professional?
(4) And finally, during a crisis, which candidate do you want on your side fighting for Hoboken?
Whichever candidate, Peter Cammarano or Dawn Zimmer, you honestly answered to the four questions above is the candidate and council slate you should vote for on June 9th.
Sincerely,
Michael Goldberg
