Omar Dyer's Response to what Mayor Healy is doing:
I can't believe the people of this city will allow Mayor Healy to courtside the type of abuse he's doing. He could have handled the job cuts in a better and fundamental way-which is to systematically over time cut down on the size of government. Yet, Mayor Healy will leash war on the people that elected him, after his top campaign manager, and Deputy Mayor got convicted on bribery charges-which are more concerns of political abuse. [Political abuse is using the nature of public office to ensure a project is being done in the favor of a prospective inquirer-with moneys funneled to the prospective campaign.]
In my eyes people will lose jobs because the Mayor Jeremiah Healy's go fish [Leona Beldini] got caught being greedy with moneys, that were indeed bribes-since it was to influence a project which will grant the allegedly developer more money back in guarantees once the project was completed. Any form of government can allow people to lose jobs because the city's Mayor's campaign treasurer / Deputy Mayor were found guilty on corruption charges. As a prominent leader for the community, who has been asked to speak on this agenda-I now think it's time to recall Mayor Healy, his partner Councilman at-large Mariano Vega, and Council woman at-large Willie Flood. Mayor Healy's leadership has included in begging the federal government for money [$20 million], Mayor Healy begged the State of New Jersey for money [$3 million + $14 million], and now he's forcing job cuts, tax hikes, and anything else. Mayor Healy is forcing an $800 tax increase for home owners that make over $100,000-where 5662 home in Jersey City have already been foreclosed on-it just doesn't make since to me. His ruling to cut 280 seasonal workers; which include 240 of them as part-timers, and 40 of them as full-time workers, just to hit them with a double whammy with property taxes increasing.
This mayor is fighting the Fire Chief with a massive cut, and closing down of cities rescue services, and I fell that the burden of the city's rescue service besides the police department will face heavy cuts as well. People voted for change in the 2009 New Jersey state elections, and they didn't get what they wanted-yet instead this city was embarrassed with a massive probe on corruption-which leads to an unpopular Mayor facing unpopular candidates-in an election he had beaten with 4.1 million, after already having $2 million in his war chest.
Mayor Healy didn't need the Solomon Dwek funds, and didn't need the corruption benefits. He would have won this election even if Dwek never showed up to his office at the local dinner instead of in City Hall. If, this is what the people wanted, and this is Change We Can See-Jersey City, New Jersey is in a whole lot of trouble, with financial and high unemployment numbers. I know think it's time for term limits in local government, since the level of corruption and the use of political power to deem people, is getting really serious where the people want to have their voice back.
