NJ.com's Auggie Torres Fires Shot at Mayor Dawn Zimmer for Observer Highway Paintjob

Agustin "Augie" Torres a political columnist from of NJ.com fired a shot at Dawn Zimmer for the conditions of the paint job on Observer Highway in his column last Saturday. Here is his quote:

"Just wondering when Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer will get around to having the yellow lines and turn lane markings painted on Observer Highway. They've been too faded to provide driving safety since before Peter Cammarano started campaigning for mayor".

Here is the link to the story which is mainly about Mayor Healy. Dawn Zimmer is mentioned at the end of the post: http://www.nj.com/hudson/voices/index.ssf/2010/08/healy_listens_only_to_those_sa.html


Glad to hear "Augie" is keeping tabs on Hoboken roads. Most of his political columns are indicative of a man that spends little time in Hoboken. In all fariness cities like Jersey City have a lot more going on. Observer Highway is actually designated a county road so he should ask the Board of Freeholders in Hudson County for the answer rather than Dawn Zimmer but that is nitpicking. Covering political events for as many years as Auggie has you would expect him to know that. Perhaps his observations were based on another visit to Timothy Occhipinti's political camp for yet another campaign "puff piece" for the old guard. Just kidding "Auggie". Just little old me shouting out to you from the "ant hill".
 
PS- I actually appreciated the link to my Jib Jab spoof on Tim's campaign kickoff party. Just returning a little bit of the favor. :) ◦
