City Council Meeting Tonight! Bye Bye Beth Mason as Council President

Hoboken is having another City Council Meeting Tonight! Bye Bye Beth Mason as Council President as this is the last regularly scheduled meeting before the changing of the guard at City Council with the addition of Jen Giattino on July 1st. As a result of her win Zimmer gets her 5-4 majority back on the City Council. For all the hullabaloo from Ruben Ramos who was walking around predicting and blathering that the "old Guard" would pick up all six seats and the backslapping from their narrow HCDO coup of the Hoboken Democratic Committee, we are right back to square one when Dawn won the Mayoral election in the fall of 2009. The balance of power is admittedly tenuous and could easily swing back the other way in 2013 but the long term trend isn't good for the "Old Guard". If they are smart and they should know it.

As a final legislative act trying to sabotage the Administration Beth Mason and her pet Timmy have put forth these two ordinances for second reading attempting to dismantle Zimmer's Administration. Ordinances can be vetoed and the "City Council of No" lacks a super majority.
