Hackensack Discussion / Re: 2013 Election
« on: March 08, 2013, 03:58:06 PM »
I don't care much for Mike Kelly of The Record, but he wrote a column about Lynne Hurwitz in June 2012:

"She is a 73-year-old grandmother who says her “style is to help people.” Her critics call her a fierce, no-holds-barred power broker and key strategist behind Hackensack’s former police chief, Ken Zisa, and his family’s political machine.

So who is Lynne Hurwitz, really?"

Here is a link to the column, and just know that Hurwitz's support for the Open Government slate in the May election is common knowledge around City Hall:

Hackensack Discussion / Re: 24-story tower for Summit Avenue

Why not move this proposed tower to the property owned by North Jersey Media Group on River Street -- about 20 acres? It will make the Borgs even richer, and everyone else happier.

Who is to say the owners won't apply for non-profit status after several years of paying full property taxes?

Hackensack doesn't need another hospital.

A rare peep from a North Jersey racist

P.S. Eye on The Record has a blog roll, and I've listed HackensackNow.org, so people who read my blog can now go to the community message board. Why doesn't HackensackNow.org have a similar list of blogs, such as the Ridgewood Blog, which I also list?

It remains to be seen how open the Hackensack Coalition for Open Government will be concerning the candidates' main supporter, Lynne Hurwitz, the Democratic Party chairwoman who was the power behind Ken Zisa, the disgraced former police chief and assemblyman.

And although the editor has reprinted articles from The Record on the two slates long before they filed, he or she has not written anything about my candidacy.

The Record will not publish a story about my candidacy because I am not part of an organized slate, Staff Writer Hannan Adely explained. Calls to Steven McCarthy, her assignment editor, were not returned.

I am confident I will be able to get enough signatures by the March 11 deadline to get on the ballot. As a reminder, I will be at the Dunkin' Donuts on Passaic Street from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday to meet voters.

Cheers,
Victor E. Sasson

OK. So why don't city officials urge the county to improve traffic flow? Do I have to call the county and contend with the bureaucracy and the run around?

Hackensack also collects garbage in Maywood. Why not start there before 6 a.m. and let us sleep in so to speak?

So take the property. Why inconvenience thousands of motorists, not to mention the waste of gasoline and increased pollution, just to maintain our antiquated road system. There are lots on intersections that can be improved, widened etc., all for the public good.

Meet and greet with Victor E. Sasson at the Dunkin' Donuts on Passaic Street, near the railroad tracks, on Saturday, March 9, from 10 a.m. to noon, to discuss his candidacy for the City Council and Eye on The Record. He will have nominating petitions to sign, if you wish to do so. Here is his platform, modified slightly from when he posted it originally:

VOTE FOR PEACE AND QUIET


I am Victor E. Sasson, a former reporter and copy editor at The Record of Hackensack, and I have owned a home in Hackensack since August 2007. Now, I am running as an Independent for the Hackensack City Council on a quality of life platform. The election will be held on May 14, 2013, and I need 250 signatures from registered voters to get on the ballot. If elected, I will:

Work with Teterboro Airport to reduce aircraft noise, and work with federal officials to get a mandatory curfew on flights between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Get Hackensack to purchase more efficient vehicles, including hybrids, for the Police Department and other agencies.
Explore government grants to add hybrids to the city’s fleet, and encourage the installation of more solar panels on city owned property.
Start collection of garbage and recyclables after 6:30 a.m.
Ban commercial landscaping work on Sundays.
Encourage police to establish routine patrols of neighborhoods, if that isn’t being done now. Get police to crack down on speeders, stop-sign violators and loud motorcycles.
Encourage the city to undertake a major program to repave streets.
Have turn lanes installed on Passaic Street, at Summit Avenue, and at other traffic bottlenecks.
Encourage the non-profit Hackensack University Medical Center to pay more to the city in lieu of taxes.
Encourage the City Council to deliver a property tax cut to residents by passing along some of the additional tax revenue from major building projects, and gasoline and electricity savings.
Call me with suggestions: 201-488-3012
