New Blogger "T. Paine" Joins the Hoboken Discussion at Commonsensehoboken.com

One reader, T. Paine (as in Thomas Paine) on at the Hudson Reporter had this to say about Jennifer Gianttino running for 6th Ward City Council vs. Nino Giacchi:
"Oh, the confusion! Giattino is clearly an "Old Hoboken" name, but livnig here only since 1998 and running against a coronated member of the Entitlement Class? Read why this is makes so many people uncomfortable"...

Pamphlet #1 "Old Hoboken Is A Lie" is available at:

Here is a excerpt on Mike Russo from the article:

...............

"With corrupt roots so deep, not even the 2003 arrest of a mayor at the core of that new aristocracy and responsible for much of that misery could halt the harm to the city. That family, perverted by an undemocratic belief in entitlement, enriched itself through graft, trading contracts for campaign contributions and side deals whose impact would last for decades. Even the apparent incidental benefits to the citizens, such as an expanded but decrepit waterfront and privatized but unmaintained water infrastructure system, still serve as an expensive reminder of the ongoing legacy of corruption that has spoiled and distracted the advancement of our beautiful city.

That mayor's son, now seeking to regain a throne of totalitarian rule, is a skilled charlatan who carries the torch for the father, but he is not alone in his treacherous endeavor. No, he is backed by a dense legacy of embedded family within Hoboken's government. With him on the City Council is his father's cousin who frequently espouses the "Old Hoboken" lie. His brother and her husband serve on the police force, while his uncle is Chief Financial Officer. Around that nucleus of power are the soldiers and their families that have invested so much into Hoboken's OTHER SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT and sing the colorful melody of greener pastures whence they regain their power. Take care fellow Hobokenite! A family dynasty installed through nepotism rather than merit endures and, crouching like a tiger waiting to pounce, positions itself for the upcoming opportunity to devastate the yearling fawn of reform that has only but recently felt the warmth of a healthful spring sun and yet matured so much."
