Winter warning advisory

Jersey City has become a place of shame and embarrassment with the level corruption and negligence—the mayor has an administration that does nothing to help the people abroad. The level of cronyism makes this administration one of the worst ran governments in New Jersey Period. People in Jersey City are lining up to file federal complaints on a Mayor whom doesn’t know how to govern. Complaints that range from abuse of power, lack of knowledge on how to run municipal services.

Mayor Jerramiah Healy who ran on the Team Healy campaign slogan of: “Change You Can See” – hasn’t lived up to the Mounties of changing anything in Jersey City. With more hardships, political patronage—substance abuse in terms of alcoholic consumptions (by the mayor); New Jersey’s second largest city is facing proportional economic hardships. And for the city the size of Jersey City, New Jersey, the hardships shouldn’t be that widely across the board. With layoffs, furloughs and firings, with salary increases to executive staffing, and political wildering from outside organizations—or forcing good company to buy into a system of corruption, or be damaged or prudently destroyed.

From heavy bans and prevention ordinances on small vendors that worked on street corners, to hire taxes on small business in general – “if they didn’t donate to the mayor’s foundation;” the attack on business has made it harder for people wishing to do business in Jersey City, if you’re not socially connected. Connected in terms of who you are literally in bed with, in order to engage in business. It ranges from laying off municipal workers, to not funding publicly owned private companies, and forcing people to walk into economic hardships, because of laziness and accountability in the administration.

Now here’s where the danger lies in Jersey City, with the blizzard of 2010, passing, and rain battles are about to begin – the beloved Jersey City: NJ may have to face heavy flooding, turn streets, with heavy pot-holes, terrible drinking water, rising level of lead and chromium flowing up to the surface – where it leads to a major health crisis worse than the people living in Haiti. And Jersey City doesn’t have to be in this position if the Mayor was more responsible and control of how his city is ran.

Weather forecasting says: New Jersey will have 10inch of rain – when the city had 24 inches of snow, while 60% of the snow hasn’t been removed. And as the aging pipelines, in Jersey City are put to the test, and as chromium level increase because of the amount of water and land corrosion – we in Jersey City is about to be hit with a health problem that shouldn’t be.

I am an activist, and I am sending my warning to the City of Jersey City: from January 1, 2011 to January 5, 2011: this city should be in a flood zone warning, and there should be a crew going around cleaning out the sewage, to prevent the water levels from reach unsustainable amounts. In my opinion, Jersey City’s Mayor in Jerramiah Healy should resign. He’s not doing what’s best for the city of Jersey City, and his maintenance of city affairs is by far the worse I have seen in my Adult life ranging from 18 years of age.
