Tim Occhipinti Watches Weather Channel and Warns Residents of Flooding this Time!

Tim Occhipinti or his handlers actually are watching the Weather Channel this time. Hoboken is being subjected to its second flooding incident this week. Earlier this week, rather than stay with his 4th Ward and help citizens with the flooding, Tim instead was spotted drinking pints of beer at the Pilsener Haus opening in uptown Hoboken with his political pals such as Ruben Ramos. Perhaps his new slogan should be "Tim drinks while Hoboken Floods" but that wouldn't be fair would it, unlike Hoboken's 4th Ward elections that were allegedly bought off with 500 VBM ballots for sale in November of 2010.

Despite a bit of sniping commentary, The Hoboken Journal will give credit where credit is due. This email from Tim does contain some vital information for residents so due take care to read it. Perhaps the junior Councilman from "Developer or Die Land" is learning a few things about politrickery after all. His handlers are on the ball today. Stay dry people. Here is Timmy's note written by the big boys behind large scale Hoboken development.....
