Official Statement from Carmelo Garcia on recent lawsuit against Mayor Dawn Zimmer

Official Statement from Carmelo Garcia

“The filing of this lawsuit was necessary to bring numerous matters to light that have been ongoing for the past year. Throughout my life, I have and always will continue to be a champion for the peoples’ right and a better quality of life in Hoboken and beyond. From growing up in the Hoboken Housing Authority to working now ,as the Executive Director of the HHA, I am living proof  of the great things Hobokenites can achieve when everyone works together for the betterment of all.

 The egregious actions by Mayor Dawn Zimmer, her husband/de facto chief of Staff Stan Gossbard, and HHA Chariman Jake Stuvier left no other option except for legal recourse to remedy the hostile environment that they have created through coercion, intimidation, harassment, and political corruption. Furthermore, I refuse to allow Mayor Zimmer to continue with her racially biased social agenda that has affected numerous Hoboken residents to this date.  Any injustice From Harrison to Hudson, is a threat to justice for everyone. In closing, it's time to expose their hypocrisy & tell my story so, I look forward to my day in court to expose these horrific wrongdoings and have justice prevail not only for myself, but for ALL the residents of Hoboken.”
