My comment: Once this deal is done this will be the Mayor fulfilling one of her major campaign promises to get the City of Hoboken out of over $60 million in bad debt associated with the Hospital. The larger the stakes for Mayor Zimmer to complete a goal, the more the faction of Russo and Mason try to obstruct and obfuscate. This will be a major political victory for Mayor Zimmer and the "old guard" can't stand it. ◦
