I'm the same one, but not the only one that jumps on Zisa when he continues to let the people of Hackensack down with self-interest moves. You remember me because I gave info that hit harder then most on the other forum such as the Trooper/Hackensack P.O. incident. You claim I don't back up my claims, but I do because I have access to a member of Zisa's inner circle (city council-man who talks) and the trooper thing... I got it from a trooper (Hackensack guy and life long friend) who was involved on the seatbelt check part of the incident. I've notice that you responded to me more then other on your forum even though I don't post that often. What about others on both forums that continue to attack Zisa with more posts then I can write in a year? Why don't you attack the "The Record" for bashing Zisa more then I do because they see a problem with him too? Editor, the article is "great" for other downtowns because they are following that course, where as Hackensack continues to spend money on studies to "improve Hackensack". How many more studies (with tax-payers' money) are there going to before something is really done? All that has been done so far is band-aid measures. During the 90s this country saw great growth on Wall St. down to mom and pop stores around the country except Hackensack's Main St. National chain store moved in on River St. while small stores on Main St. closed only to be replaced by 99 cent stores. That's a community life-saver if I ever saw one. (lol) Could it be that Zisa (since 89) hasn't done more within his powers to be a bigger part of the growth during that time? It's great the big box stores came, but what about the original stores? There needs to be a mix of stores to help towns such as Hackensack to survive. Also, as you posted revival of downtown increases the image, pride and value of the entire community. I'm not here to fight you, but I'm here to be the right to the left and the up to the down because a person in power unchecked or questioned is dangerous.
As for Steve the other poster, have you ever seen a magic trick? The hand is faster then the eye. With all the new stores (strip malls) on River St. opening, the same amount has closed on Main St. You might not have shopped at Prozy's, but plenty of other have and Lowitz was a quality store that plenty of people "still" found up-to-date suits and other things. When things happened in the community, the local stores (not national chain stores) are more inclined to get involve because the outcome affects them more just as is does the rest of the citizens of Hackensack. Big box stores on River St. pad themselves from local stuff with billions dollars profit years. Also Steve, I know where you're coming from because of your relationship to someone in the administration, but that's not for here to explain to all.
Oh, for the editor: I did not invent online bashing of Zisa. It was always there just that there wasn't a way to voice it until now. I just happen to be the first to post on the other forum about him. Besides, I can't be bought like some on the forum.
