Get out and Vote for Hoboken City Council May 10th! Today!

Update 5/10/11: Today is City Council Election Day 2011. Turnout is expected to be about 8,000 voters out of a potential of 36,000 voting aged people in Hoboken according to some of my sources. If it is more than that it bodes very well for the cllection of candidates bck by Mayor Zimmer. If not, it could be a long day for reform.

Below is a note from a local realtor that summarizes some information on the upcoming City Council election. Whether you support Mayor Dawn Zimmer and the progress she is trying to accomplish (i.e. a rational taxpayer) or that you don’t like her policies and want a City Council to oppose her at almost every turn (on the take, developer sell-out), you should exercise your right and make your voice heard at the polls on May 10th. It could take as little as five minutes of your time this coming Tuesday May 10th. Love your town and vote!
