@Hoboken085 @Tiffanie_Fisher Anywhere that you live in NJ a portion of taxes go to the public schools whether you have kids or not. BOE meetings are public.

@hobokenknows @Tiffanie_Fisher So if you don’t have kids you just get a random tax bill if you aren’t on the socials.. awesome.

#Déjàvu. For the 2nd yr, I sat in a nearly empty room @ #Hoboken BOE budget introduction tonight. Only Council member. One other member of public. Last yr: 9.4% ⬆️. This yr… almost triple. These decisions impact our taxes & they’re happening in rooms that shouldn’t be empty. Learn more in an upcoming newsletter. Subscribe here: tiffanieforhoboken.com

@Hoboken085 @Tiffanie_Fisher No schools promote the meetings. Dates on district websites for the year.

@Tiffanie_Fisher Is it open to the public or communicated to the public via Nixle?

@madhuge99 @HobokenFire Why would he resign over this? This started in 2021.

This politically motivated nonsense cost the City of Hoboken a ton of money. It’s time for the king of public safety to do the honorable thing, and resign. ⁦@HobokenFire⁩ hudsoncountyview.com/hoboken-finall…

@Zebrapeach1 @madhuge99 @HudsonCoView Last PSD before was 2015 vacant position for 7 years, not decades.

@madhuge99 @HudsonCoView Yes. This will cost the tax payers. Ferrante is a big issue. Over paid baby sitter making double dipping salaries. Enough. The city hasn’t had a public safety Director in decades before him. The position needs to be abolished and save Hoboken 150 K.

@20SomethinDesis Vacation can lead to more over time=more money. They can threaten layoffs or demotions - unions would have to decide for the better good of all involved. Overhaul of city health benefits may be a good start.

Will there be CUTTS?!? Let’s leave the theater for #hoboken high school pls (btw a true local gem) 6 unions will only come together if there’s an obvious reason and benefit to them. What can city offer to lower these costs? I vote for : more vacay!!!

@CityofHoboken @HobokenEmily Start the $2,000 fines- will close the $17M budget deficit in no time!

A friendly reminder from your #Hoboken neighbors: please pick up after your dog. 🐶💩 
Keeping Hoboken clean is a team effort, and a small act like picking up pet waste makes a big difference for everyone walking our sidewalks and enjoying our parks. 📲 HobokenNJ.gov/petwaste

@CityofHoboken @HobokenEmily When did Sharp come back?

#Hoboken Mayor Emily Jabbour to restructure City government to put people first and streamline services Get all the details: hobokennj.gov/news/mayor-jab…

@satchel73 It's illegal🙄

Delivery vehicles are parking in the street blocking traffic. There a piles of snow everywhere. Dump it into the river.

@CityofHoboken #hoboken on days that there is no parking on residential streets will plows be running to remove snow? It's now becoming very dangerous

@presinzano4hob1 No thanks

#HobokenDay732: Smart development. Real opportunity. Watch the full video. New administration, a New approach. Garage B impacts the 1st Ward in a big way. A School. A Garage. Affordable housing & A Police station might be possible. No tax dollars. Parking Revenue preserved.

@Indiecom2 @BadHoboken @RaviBhalla No is referring to the Menorah. Why insert yourself into this conversation when you don't know what is going on. All Jewish families attend from both synagogues. BOTH rabbis attend as well. Your comments are irrelevant. Just stick to your affordable rent plights

@BadHoboken @hobokenknows @RaviBhalla The menorah has always been from the Chabad.

@Indiecom2 @RaviBhalla You don't even know what you are saying. He referenced his conversations with the TWO rabbis chabad and USH in town and didn't even have the respect to write the correct name. Maybe you need to know what you are talking about and stay out of it.

@hobokenknows @RaviBhalla He wasn't referring to USH, he was referring to Hoboken Chabad. When we're snarky, it's a good idea to know what we're talking about.

@satchel73 @Tiffanie_Fisher @HobokenPatch @CarenLissner @TAPintoHoboken @HudsonCoView @CityofHoboken @HobokenEmily Bc it WASNT. A mistake

@Tiffanie_Fisher @HobokenPatch @CarenLissner @TAPintoHoboken @HudsonCoView @CityofHoboken @HobokenEmily if it was a mistake and they acknowledged it this morning, why did it take so long to come down? i call bullshit on the Mayor

@Indiecom2 @Tiffanie_Fisher @HobokenPatch @CarenLissner @TAPintoHoboken @HudsonCoView @CityofHoboken @HobokenEmily Where do you draw the line then? They denied breast cancer awareness flag this year but continently offered that in his memo. Also denied another resident asking for a Ukrainian flag- strong armed with a legal letter to deny it. You can't have it all ways.

@Tiffanie_Fisher @HobokenPatch @CarenLissner @TAPintoHoboken @HudsonCoView @CityofHoboken @HobokenEmily so, Tiff - do you agree w/others on this thread that the city should not fly any flags except U.S. flags ---- EVER?

@Indiecom2 @Tiffanie_Fisher @HobokenPatch @CarenLissner @TAPintoHoboken @HudsonCoView @CityofHoboken @HobokenEmily Hopefully never. You can't pick and choose which flags you raise.

@Tiffanie_Fisher @HobokenPatch @CarenLissner @TAPintoHoboken @HudsonCoView @CityofHoboken @HobokenEmily when will they be re-raising it?

@TruthHoboken @RaviBhalla And give up his newly renovated brownstone cozily next to his brother?

@RaviBhalla Just move to Jersey City already.

Earlier today, the flag of Palestine was raised outside of Hoboken City Hall, at my direction, following requests from local residents of Palestinian descent, and in keeping with our city’s long-standing practice of recognizing the many cultures and communities that make Hoboken special. This is the same process through which we raise the Italian flag, the Mi’kmaq flag, the Puerto Rican Flag, the Breast Cancer Awareness flag, the Progress PRIDE flag, and many, many others throughout decades and many administrations in Hoboken’s history. Celebrating diversity is a part of Hoboken’s character. I want to be clear that the act of raising this flag is not, in any way, shape or form, intended as a political statement by the City of Hoboken. Hoboken is a municipality and takes no position on international political conflicts because it is not within the purview of municipal governance. As with other communities, this flag raising is an acknowledgment of our Palestinian neighbors - mothers, schoolchildren, brothers and sisters in Hoboken - and an affirmation that they, too, are part of our community. Our City has routinely opened this space to residents who wish to celebrate their heritage, and today was no different. However, it has since been brought to my attention that today’s date holds historical significance related to the First Intifada. I want to state unequivocally that this association was not known when the scheduling was approved. I understand that this coincidence has caused concern for some members of our community. This was not our intention - rather it was simply to recognize local residents who call Hoboken home. Our City’s commitment to inclusivity means that no community should be overlooked or denied the chance to be recognized, because Hoboken’s strength lies in its diversity, and each flag we raise symbolizes the cultural richness of the people who live here. We have raised flags representing Puerto Rico, Ecuador, India, Ukraine, Israel and many others. Extending that same respect to Palestinian residents is consistent with our values as a Fair & Welcoming City and with the principles we apply in every similar situation. Especially in moments of pain or conflict around the world, it is vital that our residents feel seen and supported. As Mayor of the entire City of Hoboken, my responsibility is to treat all community members equally, without exception. I am proud to lead a city where people of all backgrounds, including Palestinians and those who stand with them, can feel welcomed and valued. I appreciate the grace, honesty, and dialogue that so many residents have already shown, and I hope we can continue to engage each other in the spirit of recognizing our common humanity, especially during these challenging times. Sincerely, Ravi S. Bhalla Mayor

@RaviBhalla You pick and choose. You told a resident you wouldn't raise 4 Breast Cancer Awareness and had lawyers respond to another resident who wanted to recognize her culture. Your words or, sorry, Marilyn or Vijay's wife words are BS. Shameful. You cant keep up with your lies.

@Hoboken085 @TruthHoboken @HudsonCoView I agree with that- but you also can't pretend the video in the diner didn't happen. Also plenty of proof her promised city positions to his supporters if he wins- people with no experience. But I guess we will see how this pans out.

@hobokenknows @TruthHoboken @HudsonCoView What was illegal? Was he charged or convicted of a crime? No? Was it a personal bankruptcy? No? You can’t fault someone for a bankruptcy either, someone works hard and sometimes it doesn’t work out. Businesses fail all the time.

LETTER: Jabbour put ‘political ambitions above friendship & decency’ in #Hoboken hudsoncountyview.com/letter-jabbour…

@Hoboken085 @TruthHoboken I know plenty more than you do Karen, which is why I'm asking for your proof of allegations. Also- def not a liberal. But thanks for another generalization- proving my point. "Allegations"

@hobokenknows @TruthHoboken Maybe you aren’t HobokenKnows because you don’t seem to know anything besides public record.

@Hoboken085 @TruthHoboken What are you referring to? Do you have proof or another false allegation?

@TruthHoboken @HudsonCoView Keep up with your crazy theories. How about how Ferrante covered up Ravi’s misdoings? He gets a pass because you just dislike Russo?
