Hackensack, NJ Community Message Boards

The Record is not always right and there not always fair. But they have made a lot of sense in there editorial on Sunday and it deserves our attention. For the next four years we are going to be served by whoever wins tomorrow. There has been a lot of mud slinging and little knowledge of the issues affecting this city. The promises that have been made are few and far between. The city has been influenced by one family for many years and there influence is seen and heard in this years race as well even though they have tried to hide there personal interests. Tomorow's election should be about who actually has a better idea of where Hackensack needs to go. All the involvement in the world on the school board and in the teaching profession isn't going to be worth anything when your trash doesn't get picked up or your taxes fly after the reevaluation, or someones brother gets a promotion. Remember these things when you go to the polls to cast your vote and whoever wins hopefully everyone will come together after to move the city forward for the good of us all.

McNerny is only the tip of the iceberg when you consider who else is behind the scenes in this race. We should not be surprized that the chief of police, and a former assembyman is supporting the new Visions slate. The woman who used to be his office manager is actively involved in there campaign. Police and Politics is never a  good mix but here it is coming home to roost like the old machine politics. the chief Zisa will have a free hand and it will cost us plenty we need a fair and balanced city council not the brother of the police chief or his hand picked freinds. What about property taxes and the homeless problem and programs for teens. Where is this new vision? Vote 6 to 10 and say Amen

Maybe Joe Ferrero and the county politicians will help fix the city once he gets his people elected.  It is a shame that some of these canidates are still backed by the old political bosses
