Not only does he now appear to be in bed with Hoboken 411, which won't help him get too many reform votes these days but it would also appear that Timothy Occhipinti now has a credibility issue. Hoboken 411 has had a credibility issue for some time now. The summer isn't even over yet and Tim's campaign is already starting to implode. Even if you are a supporter of his a gaffe like this one can't make you feel to good about his campaign. Still, the power of the absentee ballot is something that can't be underestimated in the hands of the machine politics in the 4th Ward.
Here is an excerpt from the Hoboken Patch article:
"Without any explanation to residents, The City of Hoboken will delay using the municipality's only community pool by two weeks," said Occhipinti in a statement sent out last week, "well after other 'Summer Fun' programs begin on Tuesday, July 6th."
The city's community pool, located at the Boys and Girls Club at 123 Jefferson St. is scheduled to open on July 19, and will be open daily between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. for six weeks, said Director of Health and Human Services Leo Pellegrini.
The date on which the pool opens was scheduled earlier in the spring and put on the calendar as such. The date (July 19) has not been changed since.
