As much as I like Zimmer, calling BS on this one. She is deliberately scheduling it on a day nobody and I mean nobody will show up.

This is what will happen next year. Next year St. Patty's is on a Saturday and next year the bars will ignore her, hold their St. Patty's celebrations on that Saturday and so will everyone else who lives in town. There will be no parade and just as many drinkers in town at the bars and house parties will be packed and it will all happen on March 17th. But the city will be completely unprepared b/c of a poorly thought through knee jerk reaction and it will be complete chaos.

Good decision. It will maintain the parade tradition while keeping a lid on the heavy drinking which is destroying this fine event.

Mayor, you made a tough decision which demonstrates real leadership.

For the last 25 years bar owners in Hoboken have had two St. Patrick's days to make additional profits.

Every year the post Saturday parade day/night has been a problem though last year better than years before. I don't ever remember having any real problems on the real one.

I would think with multiple party options including the mega celebration and parade in Manhattan on the real St. Patrick's day things in Hoboken will lack the chaos we have seen.

RedRider is right. Just because the parade is off doesn't mean the partiers won't come. Other towns have tried things like this and the party goes on anyway. Dawn is ruining one of the best things about Hoboken. I and my family look forward to the parade each year and now that's over. Few residents are going to be able to watch it on a Wednesday afternoon, except maybe Dawn and the other politicians whose main job seems to be going to parades. And who's going to march? The kids in those out-of-town bands will be in school. Most of the other marchers will be at work. And Dawn is killing the parade on the flimsiest of excuses. Things were not "out of control." There were a few more summonses because there were more cops. The cops had things well under control. And Dawn must stop citing these two "alleged sexual assaults." No charges have been filed. One happened on Friday so it had nothing to do with the parade and only one is under investigation. The other one apparently didn't happen. We elected a mayor, not a nanny.

Why do people assume that because the parade is moved there won't still be zero tolerance and a beefed up police presence the first Saturday in March? My guess is that the City will monitor the situation and make decisions accordingly. The Mayor isn't outlawing house parties on that day - she couldn't if she wanted to and I'm sure she knows there will still be lots of them. The fun will go on - no one can legislate away fun. She's placing a bet that moving the parade will spread out the festivities and help make the day more manageable. Maybe "Hoboken St.Patrick's week" instead of Day. The bars and restaurants might make even more money than now and we can have just as much fun with a little less mayhem. No one knows how this will actually turn out but the current situation pissed off too many people and created too much of a public safety problem to be sustainable.

At least this will save me 250 bucks a year. Now I dont have to put my mom and dad up in a hotel. I guess now I can go stay with them for the parade in Syracuse.

there needs to be a change in the culture of the town. that comes from the top. mayor, council, hospitality industry, etc. all of us have two rapes and countless assaults on our hands if we do nothing.

What is Donnie Pellican gonna do??? He'll have to drink alone again and post in the middle of the night!! I hope he's ok with this

The Mayor demonstrated how little she understands about the businesses in the city she runs. While the bars do earn record profits that day, and moving the parade will only hurt them, not kill them. However the effect for other businesses may not be so kind. Will the Mayor offer rent substies to pay August's rent or just have more vacant store fronts? These business owners do not just benefit on parade day, there are more deliveries of food orders on the Friday before and Sunday after. What the city needs to do is embrace this event, shut down the lower half of Washington Street to all cars, and open a few beer gardens. Turn this event into a party that the city can make money on. The city needs all revenue from any possible source. Government is a business and needs to be run like one.

Zimmer!!!! Not Winnnnnnnninggggggggggg!!!!! Get her out of office and Charlie Sheen in!!!

You can see why Zimmer is trying to do something as it appeals to her base of supporters. Having the parade on a wed would essentially kill the parade and the tradition. The mayor needs to meet with the bar owners, chamber of commerce (as it is not only the bar owners that make a small fortune for the day-the restaurants, fast food joints, pizza places, bagel places and other small businesses as well as the St. Pat committee to resolve some of the issues.
This was not done after last years parade.
Potential solutions:
More porto potties
Consider moving the parade and day to Sunday-will result in less late night drinking and still have the ability to enjoy the parade on a weekend. Due to church-have it at 2:00pm start time.

More conversations instead of knee jerk reactions!
PS. Most of the offenses went down-year over year so there is some progress........

Knee Jerk Reaction! Where are the meetings with the business owners and st.pats committee to discuss the issues? NO communication just PR statements. Firm Stance without cooperation from others is another form of Jamming YOUR REAL Agenda!
What happened to community meetings to discuss things????
Wednesday is NOT the solution.
Have meetings-Gather input-Develop solutions with cooperation from others!
This one will not fly................

David - why do you feel the bars and restaurants are the most important stakeholders here? Last time I looked the residents of Hoboken were supposed to be the primary constituency of our elected officials, which is why not a single member of your beloved Russo/Mason team will utter a public word in opposition to this decision. The silence from Michael Novak will be deafening. They'll send you out to do their dirty work while they hide with Mama Russo and Mason's consultants and try to figure out what to do now. The strategy was to scream about how bad things were, blaming the mayor for doing nothing while praising the police for their great work despite the evil layoffs that didn't happen, and hope nobody noticed that they were proposing nothing themselves. Kind of like how they've been hoping that nobody will notice that the layoffs didn't happen and the police union contracts were settled by Zimmer on much better terms for the taxpayer. That strategy's done. Can't wait to see the new one. The playbook is pretty limited and like the successful police negotiation strategy, I don't think this one was anticipated when the binder was written. You guys really need to stop underestimating the Mayor and overestimating yourselves.

Reading is fundamental. Clearly this decision does NOT universally appeal to Zimmer supporters. All you have to do is read the first 2 posts, David. But why start now.

Horse I call them as I see them. As much as you say I am Anti-Admin, I can say you have completed gone to "ONE-WAY" journalism. You are no where close to being neutral any longer, as MSV, which I enjoy reading is a ONE-WAY street of Zimmer propaganda. So stop!

She made a review? With who? Why not bring together all the parties and maybe the community and hash it out. Pro's and Con's and develop solutions together????

In certain areas the parade saw a decrease in problems, so I would say that is a WIN!
The sexual assaults is a very serious issue and I am glad an investigation is under way.

Hoboken families can enjoy the parade!!!! Stop drinking the Kool-Aid!
NO families are coming out on a Wednesday!
Most people work for a living and the weekend is the time to enjoy these types of events.

Saturday or Sunday....pick one as the weekday will never fly!

Calm people sitting in a room identifying all the issues and developing an action plan to combat should be the next course of action. Not some Knee Jerk Reaction to gain some public opinion.

Fantastic news. I hope it does close down the parade. If people want to have private parties in their own home, please feel free to do so. Mayor Zimmer continues to impress me with her no nonsense attitude and decisive actions.

So here is a question. Does the mayor actually hold the power to approve when and where parades are held, or is this a city council issue?

@RedRider,

The city does not generate more in fines than it spends

Simple fact

Even if that were the case, who pays the deductible on personal private property damage claims?

add: THe police are strained, the fire dept strained and the better the visitors behave the less fines collected.
But the city is nowhere near breaking even.
Police officers are required to go to court many weeks after the summons are issued who pays for that?

Pretty ironic that a fiscal conservative supports spending public money.

32 summonses x 2,000 is $64,000
And not sure if all were for the 2K Max or all will be upheld in Court

If it cost the Parking utility 9,000 for PEO's how much do you think we had to spend on 200 Police officers?

Good question, GHIII. I don't know what she can do by fiat.
.
I think this is going to be used as a wedge issue by her opponents either way. They would say she was allowing 24 hour bacchanal if she left things where they were. (Note: massive idiot Marion above blaming her for the sexual assaults.) Or they would say she over-reacted and abandoned local businesses if she sought to move the parade.
.
We're in the season of the $27million surplus. So consider all facts negotiable.

MOVE THE PARADE TO WEDNESDAY! ENOUGH SAID!

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/nyregion/09hoboken.html?_r=1

So much"business advocates" on here for caring about Commerce:

From the Times article:

Other merchants were less enthusiastic. Owen Miller, who works at Tunes, a record store, said he had to handle crowd control for the barrage of people coming into the store in search of a bathroom on Saturday.

One reveler stumbled in, knocked down a display of pins on the counter and asked Mr. Miller if he would like to fight. When Mr. Miller, 20, replied that he would not, the man asked him why not, Mr. Miller recounted.

“I said, ‘Because I’m working,’ ” Mr. Miller said. “He just shook his head and kept saying, ‘That’s so weird.’ ”

Guess Tunes should be happy they can offer free bathrooms for someone else's profit

What happened at the record store, probably happened all day at other merchants. The bathroom situation is a nightmare for people coming into town. Again, this is an easy fix. Just bring in more and set up a few areas in town where you have a many of them stationed, then hold the owners responsible to bring in 10 each of their own. You can not expect 10,20,30,40,50k people coming into town for a day and think we have the bathroom situation handled with a few porto potties.
You need 100 at the path.
100 uptown
5 -10 on each block min

This is part of a conversation and meeting of the minds.
We have a bathroom problem.
Solution, we get more.
Who pays for it-town and the business owners split the cost.

Case closed. Next issue. House Parties?
Noise violation or the like:
1 st offense $5,00
2nd - $2,000
The parties are and have been out of control for years. Surprised no one has fallen off a roof yet.
Hit people who want to let their parties go out of control in the wallets and they will start listening.

The city should be happy that IAN and his team increased revenue for the day. Great!
The city should focus on increasing revenue.

Killing a parade does not do that.

Red when you read the numbers from real sources and not your speculation we can debate this

Will the Businesses pay for the Porto johns David?
Will you?
I know as a taxpayer I'm paying and paying for clean up aroundy building
Tell me how that helps real estate?

David I assume EatDrinkHoboken will be paying for the hundreds of port-o-john's you're suggesting? On behalf of the city I want to thank you. When can we pick up the check?
.
.
David your solutions are always someone ELSE should pay more. It doesn't fly and it's why your warped "solutions " are constantly rejected by anyone who hasn't sustained a massive head injury.

first of all tony I wanted to say how impressive it is to see you blog in your own name! God only knows what "other" names you have been blogging in the past, but not to regress, kudos to you for blogging in your own name. Now the public can honestly see who is speaking and your point of view.

As I mentioned in the previous post, the city and the hospitality industry should meet and discuss this issue. I do feel the hospitality industry needs to assist in covering some of these expenses. No doubt.

But this would take meetings, conversations for adults and compromises.
NOT Knee Jerk reactions to appeal to voters at election time.

This does not show cooperation and consideration to our business owners in town or the general public. Where is the open and transparency of holding a meeting?

PR, PR, PR and more useless PR. Not buying it. Kool-Aid doesn't taste to good on this one.

Mayor Zimmer has drawn a line in the sand and sent a clear message that she "wants' to move the St. Patrick's parade to a week day to prevent the chaos that now surrounds it.

It is within her power as Mayor of Hoboken to move or end the parade. There is many very good reasons to do either.

It is now a very clear to those who want to continue to keep the parade and keep it on a weekend. Come up with a better plan to drastically control the chaos or end it.

If the business community that profits from the having a second St. Patrick's Day and a parade on a weekend then it MUST be willing to pay the entire cost of the entire weekend and find a way to compensate those have had their property or businesses damaged.

Trite suggestions like more porta sans may help but will not fix the problem and the problem MUST be fixed one way or the other,.

As the Cake Boss crossed in front of the City Hall reviewing stand on the back of a car, the mayor popped out to give Buddy a big hug. The tv cameras were rolling, so I guess we can expect to see that scene in an upcoming show.

Maybe the mayor needs to get her buddy to be the corporate sponsors for Port o Pottys in town on parade day.

If we're taking a vote, I'm all for the parade on Saturday. The mayor didn't live here in the days when Hoboken was a washed up old city (beloved by many, but still washed up). Let's celebrate how great a town this is instead of letting the New York Times call us "lawless." That's the mayor's fault. She should have declared that her cops (and the reinforcements) did an excellent job of controlling tens of thousands of revelers, which is the truth. I saw cops everywhere doing a great job in a very patient way.

She admitted to the world that she can't handle the job. There's not another St. Patty's parade for a year but she had to rush in and declare defeat three days after the parade. Should have let it simmer down, Mayor. The time to decide on the parade is in August, not March

I was hoping for Sunday.

David please stop the petty personal attacks
I NEVER blogged on here by any other name
So stop with your LaneLike false allegations

I like the day except the damages

As for Red
Well red if I hate St Pats day because of your misunderstanding of my complaints regarding 411's fake ads well why us it I don't whineabout Chrustmas

Find the posts where I say it's because I'm hurt?
It the Exploitation by asses like 411 who make me mad
Not bagpipers

As a bussiness owner I am so happy with this decision every single bussiness owner that I have talk to (that doesn't own a restaurant or a bar) was considering being close next year and so I was ! I can't no think of any other during the year that hurt bussines as much as the drinking that goes on Hoboken St. Patricks day parade !

David liebler
Ive warned you already stop with the claims
God knows you are wring again

BTW how do you plan to fit 5 Porto jonns on every corner
And what makes you think the drunks wont trash them
And 100 by the path and 100 uptown?
Where on the football field size areas that can accommodate them
Also aren't you in PR and own a website that profits from the day?
Since we're talking honesty here David and you constantly act superior to anyone who disagrees with you

I don't know why you hate the St. Patricks Day parade so much Tony. Having it on a Wednesday will not be a solution. We all know that.

Having a Mayor hold a few meetings about this would not have been a bad idea!

EatDrinkHoboken.com does not make a single penny off of the St. Pats day parade or event.
False statement Tony and your "warnings" are funny.

The acting superior comment is also funny, as most bloggers who decide to attack me have the highest sense of superiority. Another false claim.

I love parades and I respect them ,But unfortunately St. Patricks day parade has nothing to do with honoring Saint Patrick ,once again if I am wrong please correct me I thought it was a religious day ? I don't recall any other Saint parade ex:Saint Ann causing so much controversy ! I do own a picture framing bussines and after the harsh winter and the economy slowdown all of us (bussines owners) a beautiful day Like Saturday was a zero bussines and just to give you an idea Saturday it's the strongest day of the week for Most of us

David
Perhaps you should READ before you Type!
I dont hate the parade
You are twisting what I said

If anyone who hates it's you
You HATE Zimmer becauseshe didn't hire YOU for the PR position last year right?

In fact one of the very first posts I recall from you was all about that

So again
$5 for you for each post that I wrote about hating this parade

All of the non-bar businesses along first street had to close on Saturday. So the argument that this is a great day for businesses doesn't really hold true.
I was out with my two year old on Washington street at both 10:30 and noon. There is no way in hell I was going to stay around any longer to have him witness the drunken mess on and around the parade. The parade is absolutely not a friendly place for families, and both Washington and First Streets were a nightmare all the way back to my apartment. Hoards of drunken groups of people screaming, acting like hoodlums were pushing past us.
My friend's two year old stated (once she got back to her apartment) that she didn't want to go outside with all of the party people in green shirts. The poor kid was terrified.
I have lived in Hoboken for 14 years, and did partake in my share of drinking when I was younger and single. I'm not saying people shouldn't have fun, but I do think that the event has become not just a place to come and drink and have fun, but rather a get completely obliterated fest. I have been a frequent attendee at the Hunt in Far Hills - and let's be honest, that itself is pretty much a booze fest with the ability to watch a horse race on the side - but it is also contained in a huge field, and I don't have friends of my neighbors pissing all over the elevators or passing out in my hallways once it is over.
Yay, I may not have to pay to leave town next year! Which most people with kids have to do.

To make this event a more controllable situation for all parties involved, it should start at 2pm on the first Sunday. This way the church/St. Pat committee are not offended. 2 pm would be a good start time for a family friendly parade.
Sunday would also decrease the drinking (to a certain level) due to work the next day.
Weekend events in Hoboken are truly the best.
Whatever the number is on increasing the porto potti situation, will only help the peeing problem.
Glad no one is a hater of the parade and the day. I understand it is really all about the drunks and their behavior, I get it and agree. You don't have to own a place in Hoboken to feel the pain of house parties. My building has been a zoo for years, until they really cracked down and limited the house parties to 10 people and made everyone sign in.
This was the best year. Not a problem, not a peep.
Ownership controlled the problem.

Leadership can solve this one as well. But why lead when you can send out 2 PR releases a day with your agenda. Not very open and transparent.

So are you going to apologize for calling us "haters" of the pareade or do just spew whatever fits for a reply?

One irony is that dogs pee all over the place every single day in Hoboken... and that's okay with everyone. But on that one day a year some twenty-five year old suburbanites pee in the street and all of a sudden it's a crisis.

I hope the parade (and the parties) will go on next year.

Dogs generally don't pee in hallways or elevators. Usually not on other peoples property either.

The rain washes pee away
It doesn't fix smashed windows
Replace uprooted landscaping
Pay police OT
Rush to aid a firefighter hit with objects from a roof

5 years ago a few pub owners started the hospitlityassoc and vowed to hire a squad to clean the streetsthey had a photo op and eveything
That was Once

Last year they could fork outmore than about 8,000 bucksto the mayors clean up call

Just stepping in to point out something. This dog-hijack is a stupid red herring.

This statement is not at all on behalf of Patch. This is my personal opinion.

I understand that the mayor wants to preserve the culture of the city, but the reality is that much of that culture is young adults in their 20s-30s that enjoy having house parties with friends. They aren't all renters - many of us pay taxes here, too. We moved here because this city is fun, not because we want to join the stroller brigade or the old Italian regime.

Many of the summonses written were unjustified and the cops were beyond rude. At one point a cop stood outside our door insisting that a girl in a white knit cap had run into our apartment. They had a ticket written to her - but she didn't exist. When we said she wasn't there (there were 5 of us left, cleaning the apt.) they started treating us like idiots.

Yet there were dozens of loud teenagers - many who were joking with the cops that the seemed to be friends with - not getting summons or anything, just crowding Washington Street. I saw cops hugging some of them. Must be nice to be related.

Parade Day is one of the biggest days of the year in the area. I haven't even seen the parade happen in my four years here, but I've always respectfully enjoyed the day while hopping between parties. I feel pretty certain that with or without a parade, those parties will happen on the first Saturday of March for years to come. It's tradition.

The NYC parade is 250 years old. They have 250,000 marchers and 2 million spectators. Perhaps our mayor needs to contact Mayor Bloomberg and ask him how NYC prepares for and deals with mischief makers.

I am also dubious about the situation of the firefighters being attacked by spit, beer and flowerpots from a fourth-floor balcony or fire escape. Why isn't there a record of the arrest? Why couldn't the firemen call their police pals and have them come and make immediate arrests? There were sirens wailing all day but I think if the firemen put in a call for aid to their police brethren, they would have gotten immediate response, charged up there and made numerous arrests.

With all the photographers around the city that day, why haven't I seen one photo of a guy or gal behaving badly. I just see lots of smiling faces waving at the cameras. Why don't the homeowners post pictures of the broken windows, ruined landscaping and piles of vomit on doorsteps that other posters have mentioned?

regardless of MM's smarts or lack of same, the points are valid: a) another PD might have better methods for handling troublemakers and b) the fun nazis might have overstated the problem just a bit.

My grandmother was born in this town in 1913 and I can honestly say as long as I've been here I honestly worried less when it was more minorities and middle class. There shouldn't be any day were I should be nervous about having my kids around and when my father who served this community as a police officer has to be bothered by open house parties and wet behind the ear idiots who can't respect anyones property but their parents who would never stand for this. I'd like to see if this was a puerto rican day parade or some other minority, how everyone would tolerate it then. If you should have the right to have fun don't cry when someone catches you pissing on their property and takes the law into their own hands.

I don't know why everyone keeps saying this big day of debauchery has been a tradition when as a lifelong resident of 38 years I can honestly tell you that growing up this was never any more significant than any other parade day of the year. I speak for all born and raised when I clarify this. It is only with the new wave of transplants that this day has taken on such an atmosphere. So stop trying to speak for those of us who really know.

First of all you're 38, the parade is 25! You were 13 when it started!
Here we go with the anti newcommer comments again...
You don't have to be born here to "really Know" that's really offensive.
I've lived here for 20 years! I know people who weren't born here and have lived here and raised families here before you were born. So can we stop with the new resident disdain.
It's mostly out of town visitors who cause the problems

Okay the point was the parade was never a big deal, and the reason I have anti-newcomer disdain is because they never prove me wrong. I don't care who you know thats raised kids here before my time i'm certain my family goes back to before you can imagine.

Prove you wrong?
How about the billions of dollars in new investments they brought to the city?

This is a city of immigrants
Nobody owns it more than anyone else!

I don't really care about the parade I just despise this attitude every new comer has to disregard what came before them with some sense of entitlement because they make up the monetary majority and through white collar colonialism have run all the old guard out. Yeah I got disdain but you have no idea why. You couldn't imagine.

Newcomers didn't run anyone out, many born and raised resident sold out, made millions and good for them!
Take a look at all the Born and raised WHITE COLLAR professionals who own condos in The W, don't sell your own short!

C'mon it's not worth giving a bigot the time of day.

let me ask you this if your grandmother lived here for upwards of 90 years and had to watch her next door neighbor urinating on her tree is that bigotry or newcomer disdain?

As for new school politics and new money reviving the town how come we have to lay off police and threaten to demote firefighters seems like it's old school city hall to me all this so-called money being generated and nothing to show for it.

I don't loathe new comers but I doubt that the old woman whose raised two generations and is on her way to pick up groceries is well pleased by the jerkhole kicking garbage bags that our blue collar garbage men have to then pick up. I don't even wanna hear what any politician on here has to infer I'm a little tired of listening to this weeks bulls*#t. By the way I happen to be dating a "Newcomer"

Do me a favor and look at the budget battles and tell me what this new money means to me. My family had to sell because they couldn't pay the property taxes so i'm through listening to anymore new money talk. Point blank it's now a great place.....If you can afford it. Please.

As for Mr. Soares I could care less how you think I sound and I quote "After years of bad behavior, Soares and Lenz are so adrift in a sea of their own half-truths, quarter-truths, hedging, smears, fence-straddling, side bets, blame-shifting, doublespeak, second-guessing, side-switching, evasions, shafting of friends and allies, and all-around equivocations, that they now cannot find safe haven anywhere.
