Recalling Mayor Jerramaih Heally

There is a group working hard to recall Mayor Heally. Even though the Recall efforts of Peter Brenan has failed the group working on the efforts to Recall Mayor Healy is still trying to gain momentum. In recent magazine from NJ Monthly: Jersey City's living standards dropped again--as Jersey City became the 402 city with good living conditions. A dramatic drop. Jersey City continues its decline and fall under the leadership of Mayor Jerramiah Healy. From 2004 until 2009 polling data, and reports show, Jersey City went from 120 in the state of New Jersey to 402. In 2008, Jersey City was 256 in the state, and it’s now 402. The median household income range: $36,000 -- people unemployed 10.3%, people that work in the private sector 26% for the municipal government 17% -- and people say this city is managed well. City official Jack Kelly has to close an $84 million dollar budget hole – with a $91 million dollar budget debt. A city that is seeing massive amounts of layoff—low income revenues, and dangerous levels of education defragmentation.


Hudson County has the worst rated governmental leadership at the county and municipal levels in the state of New Jersey. Inpendent polling date: compiled from PHRA reports and searching tools, show Hudson County's leadership and government are ranked 19th out of the 21 executive branches. And Hudson County's the Educational Department fell to 12th in the state of New Jersey -- where Jersey City has seen all of their public schools lined up at the bottom. Even Mayor Healy's Job approval Ratings show almost 75% dumbs down -- where 80% would like to see the mayor recalled.

The worst schools in New Jersey: Snyder High School, Dikerson High is the second, third is Ferris, and Lincoln high leads Jersey City as the best of the worst schools in New Jersey. This is embarrassing: Jersey City's Mayor should be fired. Since having no alternative programming once school is over is that great or bad for education. Studies show that when students engage in learning outside of the normal schooling hours -- test score rise dramatically. Not only does it set the decorum for advancement class--but extracurricular activities outside of normal school functions bring part-time jobs and mentors for the youth. Everyone knows that the Mayor doesn't control the educational department --now when it comes to after-school programs, yes the MAYOR has full authority over the fiscal issues of faith based and community outreach programs.
