Greg Lincoln to Run for City Council in Hoboken's 3rd Ward!

Greg Lincoln, a supporter of the Zimmer Administration and that of fiscal responsibility based on his public comments at City Council meetings, has unofficially decided to enter the race against Michael Russo for 3rd Ward Hoboken City Councilman. It is anticipated that he will have the support of Mayor Dawn Zimmer for this run but that is based on my analysis and projection and not anything official from the Mayor in terms of an endorsement or assurance.

The source of this information is Greg Lincoln himself. I had asked him previously a few weeks ago this same question but at that point he was not sure. Now he is! I anticipate a formal announcement in the coming few weeks. With the 6th Ward also apparently having a good governance candidate close to announcing and having the support of the Zimmer Administration, the taxpayers of Hoboken that are actually footing the bill will have a shot a good representation in all six wards come May. Best of luck to Greg Lincoln! ◦

Now all we need is the official announcement for the 6th and all pieces are set. Best Ward slate I could ever dream of in my 26 years of living here. Go Greg!

I don't really care but ... would it be possible to recruit a candidate for the 6th Ward who is not a white male? The "reform" slate, overall, would probably have a better chance of success if it was diversified just a little.

I could care less if it was a blue spatula, I just want honesty and integrity in any candidate who runs. We can work towards diversity after we get the dishonest tools off the CC.

I believe the 6th ward candidate that will run against Niño Giacchi will be female and smart.

Greg has the following email: lincolnlogger@gmail.com. At some point he will have an official campaign email address but not yet.

We all welcome this run by Greg Linkin',
it certainly has Mike Russo now thinkin',
He won't take the chance and can't afford,
to consistently leave his own ward,
or risk his own campaign from sinkin'.

"Greg Linkin' " ?
Get your coat.
I'm going to have to ask you to come downtown and have a little chat with the Pun & Rhyme Police.
Don't worry, I'm sure there's got to be a reasonable explanation.

Plywood- I get my queue from mainly West coast Rappers like Snoop Dogg and others that just make up words as they need to. Another literary titan also made up a lot of words. You might know of his work:

Now I am no Snoop Dogg or Shakespeare but I at least admit that they have somewhat inspired me. Word up! (Cameo)

Your underlying love of Shakespeare is no Victorian's Secret,
but for myself I have to say my favorite West Coast Wrapper is on a Ghirardelli Chocolate bar.

When I am board, I often go into full limerick mode and lumber on without concern of being on the level with the proper forms of the English language.

What is do is fun and in the spirit of fun I should not be taken "to the woodshed" by the grammar Politzei!
