Politics & Government::Jersey City mayoral candidates get into shouting match over corruption at debate
“Let’s talk about the issues.” But corruption is Issue #1. Healy surrounded himself with crooks who went down soliciting bribes during his last campaign.
You can't argue this is harmless, it is a CORRUPTION TAX on JC residents, which we pay in favors doled out to contributors, incompetent political hacks "managing" city departments for fat salaries, and government jobs awarded for political loyalty, not for ability. It is what fed Charles Epps and his patronage machine at the Board of Ed for 10 years without moving the needle on student achievement.
Healy's crony government steals education from our kids, wastes tax dollars on his friends, and lets the city rot while he pretends he's doing a great job. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER.
