Dawn Zimmer killed the Hoboken St Patrick's Day Parade.

Her next target will be the Italian Festival.

Her PAID for blogger minions are going into damage control mode below.

Hoboken Questioner, at the behest of Beth Mason, seeks to divide the community against the mayor as part of Ms Mason's run for Mayor in 2013. His continued efforts are posted below, replete with lies about blogger compensation. What is known is that Ms Mason is rumored to be trying to buy that election through efforts like you will see Hoboken Questioner employ below.

that's because I asked for a rum and coke...not a jack and diet

Good idea.

As Councilpersons Castellano, Russo and Mason last year stridently advocated against the mayhem and the extra costs that the weekend places on Hoboken, they should draft a ordanance that put a such a fee in place to cover the costs. I think the Council Majority would support it. :-)

I'm no really complaining that the bar owners didn't voluntarily kick in. I am saying if this event is 10% of their annual sales, they may have shot themselves in the foot by not taking a more pro-active approach to keeping the scene more manageable. Every one of them were aware that things were out of hand and they did nothing about it. Now the munIcipality will step in and the bar owners may not like what the town decides to do. A little self-regulation might have avoided that.

I see your point ply. I wasn't suggesting you in particular, just a general statement. You have a point though. Their refusal to help definitely hurt them in end. My point was more that it was an idea that was destined to fail from the start. The city should have levied the tax once the costs became out of control. In this economyv it's tough to expect any small business to part with profits when they don't have to.

And Hobbs, I can't imagine anything that could be considered a good idea coming from those three...... well unless they decide to quit :-)

WOW...look everyone the 1st Zimmer damage control concept - BLAME THE BAR OWNERS.

Folks - 1 person killed the St Patrick's Day Parade - Dawn Zimmer.

Oh look, the Mason shill has arrived, trying to act like trying to curtail the out of control violence and drunkenness in our streets is a bad thing. So let's see, if the Mayor didn't try to discourage such acts, she would be ineffective, right? You can do better than that, Questioner. A letter from the parade committee cancelling the parade is pretty strong evidence that, um, the parade committee cancelled the parade, making no reference to the parade day problems everyone knows exist..

Oh dear, the little troll is up and about. Funny that HQ is not talking about himself int he third person today. Following is a blurb that I thought would be appealing to you, HQ.

Major Human Flaw: Some people refer to themselves in the third person.

Response No. 1, by Elsa Ronningstam, associate clinical professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School and author of Identifying and Understanding the Narcissistic Personality: Referring to yourself in the third person creates distance between "I" and "he." So if you have an exaggerated view of how great you are, you could be using this distance to make yourself even bigger. Or, if you've achieved major success suddenly, using the third person could be a way to adjust to the bigger role that's been assigned to you. It's a way to enlarge yourself to fit that role.

I can't. I'm too upstet.

Poor bar owners, woe is them.

Joseph you are absolutely correct. I have not seen any of your posts before but please feel free to come back often. The problem is that we need to get more people registered to vote in this town. Once that happens then we can get rid of Zimmer and bring back the parade.

Yeahhh!!! Rapes for everyone when Zimmer is gone and Mason/Russo is in. So says Hoboken's very own Napoleon!

See what happens here folks...if you challenge or question Dawn Zimmer her paid for minions call you a criminal.

Let me make a prediction..their other strategies involved (1) blaming the bar owners (2) blaming the Committee and (3) blaming political opponents. I now predict that somehow the parade itself was managed by CORRUPT people.. Yes...Corruption...I am sure that one is next....let's see if I am right... hmm...

Decision on the parade was made after the insanity of last year and the plug pulled.
You want the US Army on every corner?

Seems you need bar owners with deeper pockets. They didn't ante up and won't.
Too bad.

Everything is fine. The committee cancelled the parade. Questioner is out spinning it against the mayor for the Old Guard. Just another day.

Oh and as for HQ/prosbus/TommyTune/Lane Bajardi. Instead of ghostwriting lies on Hoboken411 just write something for your boss Beth Mason to come out and fight to put the parade back on Saturday.

What is she waiting for? You have it ready yet or what?

HQ, you're such a moron. You're new friend lives in Brick - Joseph Wooston Brick. Did you think that was his name, dumbass? But moving to Brick might be a good idea for you because...Lane Bajardi has NEVER appeared in an ELEC report for Beth Mason or Tim Occhipinti. He appears in this midnight video for Occhipinti's campaign leaders. http://www.hobokenhorse.com/2010/10/grist-for-mill-midnight-monday-meeting.html
Is he credited in Beth Mason's IRS filings? Does he credit her in his tax forms?

As usual, pussface, posing this time a as TT, is disingenuous in his attempts to make anyone believe that his multiple posts under different screen names signifies a significant number of people that share his views and who buy his not paid for friendship crapola.

Horsey - right now your friends are all drooling over a BOE member's criminal back ground check. That is what excited you folks. Most of us just want our parade back and we correctly blame Dawn ZImmer for killing it.

Um, the meaning of a letter from the parade committee saying they are cancelling the parade is a little too complicated for you?

You act as though it's not the responsibility of government to find a compromise that allows commercial prosperity.

The fact is, this Mayor is out of her league and because she is, she resorts to using her power as opposed to her ability to compromise on not only this situation but many over the past 3 years.

This is why PR girls make better party planners than Mayors.

I get the impression that the people that the mayor bows down to are residents with less than 13 years of residency, btwn the age of 35 and 52, preferably with children, relatively, or substantially affluent and property owning. Long time and born and raised adults, renters, seniors and poorer residents are completely left out of her equation for Hoboken. Many of us that are (and were) comfortable with Hoboken as hard-scrabble, quirky, diverse, edgy and artsy who were excited about the new 'dawn' in Hoboken are disappointed. The end of the St. Pat's parade is not, in and of itself, something that will loose any votes, but governance that favors one constituency over all others will loose votes. There's still time to build some bridges and some opportunities. Perhaps tighter historic building/district designations, perhaps the anticipated renovations of existing parks could increase the amount of nature/green space instead of kiddie play areas, maybe adding 'living histories' to the waterfront and getting some voices of residents that lived here prior to 1995 on those histories; perhaps, even someone that spoke about the various Hoboken parades and festivals, how they came about and which ones are enjoyed to this day.

Jabberwock

Is there any evidence to support your rather condescending and dumb assertion that the Mayor "bows down" to anyone? If anything, she doesn't bow down to anyone, which is unusual in a politician and is probably, if you evaluate her solely on political skills, a weakness.

Oh my goodness, that's hysterical!

http://grafixavenger.blogspot.com/2012/01/waaa-we-want-our-crime-wave.html

The tone do Zimmer's letter wasn't bad either.
" you will have the parade on a Wednesday night." My way of the highway.

Pug Mahon- From what I know the Mayor at least tried to work with the committee. I for one would have liked to see a Sunday comprimise. Takes two parties to negotiate.

The city has lost control of the "event" - a drinking orgy - to Facebook. The absence of a parade will do little to diminish the "event". The media publicity
will just inflame the youth to even more excess. History says that any attempt to "puritanize" - my word - behavior will not succeed . See today's article in NY Times on the 1897 ban on alcohol in New York City on Sundays by Theodore Roosevelt . Result - ban failed - New York City voted against Roosevelt in every election thereafter.

We'll see who loses control. There's going to be changes and no cover of a secondary St. Patrick's Day to cover bad behavior.

Enforcement won't end with a simple ticket. Let's see how PSD Tooke steps it up.

You are a shill for the bar owners , a liar, or a drunk. "I live on Washington & have never seen a situation that could be deemed out of the norm." Simply not believable for anyone who has lived in town for more than one year. And if you vote for mayor based on this one issue, then your are a complete moron. I guess you think it is okay to elect crooks that steal 800k quarters, sell zoning variances, etc. It is comments like this (along with the $40 per vote buying spurge financed by Beth Mason) that make me think that a literacy test should be required in order to vote.

Lotsa luck registering voters from NYC, Long Island, upstate NY, Conn., Jersey City, Weehawken, West New York, Union City and all the other counties in NJ.

It's Lane Bajardi and another his latest 1,000 plus screen names in his jihad against the mayor since he didn't get a City Hall job when his counte$$ got thwarted twice.

He thinks if he keeps saying the same things with different names, it'll change.
There's clearly no uproar over the parade either being moved to Wednesday announced last March or now cancelled by the Parade Committee.

The vast majority of residents are happy not being forced to evacuate so others can roll in the dough.

If Lane Bajardi thinks otherwise, then he should convince his boss Beth Mason to issue a statement she will run on a platform of bringing the parade back to Saturday and have her crooked allies like Russo and Occhipinti sign it.

We're waiting.

Nothing will stop people coming to live here. The biggest draw for residents this city has in access to NYC. Why sit of a NJT train for 45 minutes when you can go door to door in 30?

I somewhat disagree. Whatever measures the city takes to control the out of control drunks, they need to do it year round. You don't selectively enforce the law one day out of the year and not the other 364. The whole reason the parade got out of control is the city didn't enforce the laws year round so people who visited this town were conditioned to expect that their unacceptable behavior would be tolerated here in Hoboken.

Seriously, can anyone honestly say that we don't see this stuff year round in this town? People vomiting in the street, check. People urinating in doorways, check. People passed out in the gutter, check. People brawling on sidewalks, check. Random acts of vandalism fueled by alcohol, check. DUIs, check. Everyone turning a blind eye to all of these things 364 days out of the year, check. The only difference b/w this particular Saturday and any other Saturday is the number of people who show up, get drunk and all act the same way they would any other Saturday they get drunk in this town.

REd
I agree that enforcement should be the same 365 days a year. I point out, however, that given the huge crush of 40k drunk revelers on Fake Paddy's Day, it is not possible, absent having the National Guard arrive on the scene, to make that happen. The parade and the celebration of a holiday has given the "mob" cover for a one day drunken orgy where they know that by virtue of the sheer numbers of drunken assholes urinating and vomiting in the street that the odds of getting arrested that day, as opposed to any other random Saturday, are pretty low. And as events have unfolded, those revelers have the safety of random open doors to duck into to attend a house party if cops do zero in on them. Arresting people indoors in a private residence, or even in the hallway of an apartment building, is much less likely to happen, for simple civil rights reasons. I am all for ratcheting down the mayhem of Fake Paddy's Day. If moving the parade, and having the parade committee act like petulant children and cancel the parade is part of the fall out - so be it.

It only isn't possible on St. Patty's b/c they never do it the other 364 days of the year. If people come here knowing there is a zero tolerance policy that is enforced, they will behave. Most of these people come to Hoboken year round at various times of the year and they already know they can do whatever they want. It is unrealistic to expect that the city can police them after conditioning them to expect almost no policing what so ever. Had the mayor just started a zero tolerance policy last year like I suggested last year, this discussion would not be happening and I suspect we'd have a parade as usual.

KHobeken knows David Liebler is playing a very dangerous game with public safety by promoting and focusing a know to be a reckless uncontrolled party. When the usual problems arise, hold him accountable!!

Are you kidding? Things went downhill when it came to controlling the parade after the city convinced the bars to open late that day. That led to all the house parties. You want the bars to open early, keep the drunks either in the bars or in lines at the bars and where the bar staff, cops, FD & bouncers can keep an eye on them. Worst mistake this town ever made was asking the bars to open late that day.

Yep, the house parties and people wandering the streets looking to crash house parties are the problem. Very tough to manage those things.

Art, if the city even tries to tell me WTF I can do in my own home, I will be the first person to hold a party and sue the city.

Red,

I agree with you on that issue.

Amazing! Red and I agree again.

Your right to enjoy yourself in your home doesn't trump my right to peace in my home. It boils down to minding your own business. As long as you mind yours (and that of your guests), I'll happily mind my own. Have fun, trash your place, go F-n' bananas! Just don't make it my problem, is that not fair?

ThisMeansWar- The fact that people want to take advantage of Vote By Mail option does not mean a crime has occurred. In fact, NJ encourages people to Vote By Mail. Here is what is said on the New Jersey election site: "In New Jersey, any voter can now vote by mail in any election. You do not need a reason to Vote by Mail. Don't feel like going to the polls? Simply vote by mail. Now there is "no excuse" not to vote! "

http://www.nj.gov/state/elections/mail-in_doe.html

Trust me-- no one is shaking in their booths.

i'm sure all kinds of people in Applied are recieving plump visitors with ballots in hand telling them "there's no reason not to vote"

I'll score you 3.5 troll points out of a possible 10.

There are other possibilities for celebrating cultural heritage in Hoboken such as this: "The Puerto Rican Cultural Committee hosted the 44th annual flag raising on Saturday morning."

Eric I think you're being generous. The problem is the posts are neither scary nor entertaining. The material is stale and the delivery never changes.

.
Maybe Perry will wander by and tell us how great the Hospital was doing before Zimmer ruined it.

A word to outofcontrol - your ridiculous posts aren't fooling anyone. We all know the Old Guard was behind cancelling the parade for political gain. Just admit it.
