It is time for the voter to pay attention and end the cycle of infrastructure decay and government waste by voting for the side the generally supports the Mayor's agenda and has her endorsement but will still vote their conscience. That choice is clear to me that we need to give Jen a chance for new leadership since Nino has just flapped like a flaccid sail with whatever political breeze is in season. The fact that he has now partnered up with Mike Russo who was caught on tape conspiring to sell out Hoboken to Solomon Dwek means he must go. The voting record of Nino Giacchi is his true Achilles heel. His partnership with Russo is like a 300 pound weight of corruption around his neck. Jen has been hitting the campaign trail hard by all accounts. What she needs on May 10th is your vote! Love your town and vote Hoboken! Vote for a better City Councilperson than the incumbent! Vote Jen Giattino May 10th for 6th Ward City Council!
As we move into the last week of the campaign, I want to thank all of you for your emails of support, donations and offers to volunteer.
Taking on an entrenched incumbent with ties to the Hudson County political machine has been no easy task. We saw their machine antics backfire when an operative stole our campaign signs from a local dry cleaner.
It's been said that our ward is considered "the quiet ward." But don't let Nino's quiet demeanor fool you. Over the past ten years, he's "quietly" voted for and against the same issues time and time again.
Flip flopping, Giacchi voted for corner cars, then he voted against it. He was against the 20 million dollar bond for parks, then he recently voted for it.
We need a councilperson to vote in step with their constituents not how the council majority is leading him.
After years of fiscal mismanagement, we finally have a mayor that has put us on solid fiscal ground.
But our opponents, led by Nino, want to raid our surplus and spend that money. If this happens, we'll go back to the days when we created ponzi scheme-like budgets that raided our funds for parks, children and seniors, while obscenely increasing our spending and masking our deficits.
When the bill came due our taxes were raised 47% - the biggest tax increase in Hoboken history. We literally can't afford policies that will rip off homeowners and increase our taxes.
As for me, I'll always remain consistent on the issues.
We need to cut spending first, lower our taxes, repair Sinatra Field, provide for more open space and rid ourselves of patronage once and for all.
How can you help? This election is important to us all, and I do need your help.
If you can make phone calls, hang up signs in your home, campaign with me or help out on election day, please email Elissa at volunteer@JenforCityCouncil.com.
This is truly a grass roots effort, and I couldn't do it without your help, support and dedication.
Jennifer Giattino
