allshark asked q's today and the deleters have killed many posts....

I asked the Q's (and can anyone answer)

1. What are/is the Moody's rating for Bayonne

2. Did Doria actually think he was saving Bayonne, by shoving the P.A.. deal down our throats ( so far the P.a. money and Ports America monies are in a bank and the U.S. Army will not let the Malloy/Doria shell game be unleashed on the residents of Bayonne

3. How come Malloy never protested the night the BLRA approved the P.A. Tony C', Gary L and Mike Masone did and so did many many other smart people.

4. 65 acres of prime MOTBY property for 19 million is a crime, why. this land is worth 100 million or more. <font color="#0000ff">(Editor: this is in reference to the Trammell Crow sale)</font>

5. Why build housing first, when thousands of rentals and condo's are available throughout the HUDSON gold coast and is sitting vacant and stagnant in a slumped and dead housing market.

Disharmony on FD and deep PooPoo in the LRA, are we getting our moneys worth? No, we have given patronage jobs to supporters who can’t cut the mustard. Joe Doria’s former Secretary is an assistant director on the LRA. Her last name happens to be the same as the chief of the BFD. From what I can tell both make over 100k, and in my opinion both are helping drive these 2 departments into the dumps. You can say what you want about the Army, but they now something is rotten in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Denmark</st1lace></st1:country-region>.<o></o>

Is it also just coincidence that the best friend of the chief, a former deputy chief in the BFD (and now current local tv show host) has a family member who shares the same last name working at the BLRA? Someone who comes straight out of college, with no field experience.

Connect the dots. A secretary for Doria, her husband, her son, all big money jobs for the city. Now the best friend of Doria and his daughter, get huge promotions which come with all big money jobs. Now Doria leaves and the illusion of a beautiful world goes too, and now they are looking to jump ship. <o></o>

The new Mayor may have good intentions, but the damage is done, and exiting deals are still being made. I believe the new Mayor still takes some direction from the old one, we can’t vote him in this November.<o></o>

Apparently our former mayor Joe Doria is leading an "effort" to consolidate small towns.

A column in Today's JJ speculates about "BayCity" and quotes Trenton Joe who will use state aid as the "carrot".

Without bonding or some big development moves now, Bayonne will be a "distressed city" and need that carrot.

Quote from the column:

"Merging municipalities is something that Gov. Jon Corzine would love to see happen among many of the state's smallest burgs. Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Joseph Doria said: "The effort is to make them more efficient and move toward consolidation. The incentives are: We have the grants for shared services and working toward consolidation. That's the carrot. The stick is not receiving the aid." Could this work in Hudson County, regardless of a town's size? The feeling here is that one interesting consolidation could be Weehawken and its neighbor, Hoboken. There would be a nice continuous waterfront community. Let's call it Weeboken. Weeboken would have one board of education, planning panel, police force, shared recreational facilities and parks, and, of course, one local governing body and mayor. Think of the other possibilities. Can you guess which municipalities would be involved if, hypothetically, mergers created the new communities of Bay City and Westberg?"
