You know what...? I would be tempted to agree with your take, but he is NOT wrong in his take. People overwhelmingly chose to vote for more taxes and shenanigans by electing the "Eductions Matters" slate through direct voting and, to a larger extent, voter apathy. And, not only did the union backed candidates get voted in, but the sole outspoken dissenter got voted out. So, we are now back to a BOE that is 100% aligned with the union.

Jersey City (and, Hudson County in general) proving once again that they have the government and elected officials that they deserve. So much posturing and verbal diarrhea in online forums about taxation abuse and bitching and complaining about corruption and yet less than half of registered voters showed up to vote, and the ones that did re-elected every single person that deserves to be kicked out, and then chose to vote in tax and spend people. Awesome. Enjoy the fiscal BOHICA.
