I was never endorsed by Brian Stack. He endorsed my opponent in 2020.

I also never voted against dispensaries in UC because I’m not on City Council. The UC Council voted on the ordinance to ban cannabis dispensaries.

As a member of the Planning Board my vote was that the ordinance was consistent with the City’s Master Plan, because it is consistent with the Master Plan, despite my personal feelings about the substance of the ordinance.

If you check the Board minutes I spoke at length about my opposition to banning dispensaries & gave an interview to the Hudson County View reiterating my views. I have always been pro cannabis legalization.

You're the one who bragged about your Stack endorsement. While you're here, care to tell us why you believe marijuana doesn't belong in Union City? You made public comments claiming to be in support of marijuana sales in Union City and then went ahead and voted to ban it anyways, just like Stack. The literal textbook machine politician play.

Their other location looks interesting, but I don’t see any indications that they make their ice cream from scratch in-house, which automatically puts them at a disadvantage to Torico in my opinion. But I’d love to be proven wrong.

It would be nice if the neighborhood could get another no-frills, high quality gelato place to fill the void left by Bucket & Bay.

Like, I can’t imagine telling an old Jewish person, “not okay to be bigoted to Germans,” like it’s not fully justified dislike. Don’t want to be disliked? Don’t be an enslaving, lynching, redlining, segregationist piece of shit. People want to move on and have all be forgotten with no reconciliation. Meanwhile, basic idiots are having weddings on plantations with cotton bouquets. Not being bigoted to white people is not because it is not “deserved”. It just solves nothing and hate get us no where. But a white person telling POC it’s not okay to dislike them is laughable as f*ck.

No idea who this guy is or what he’s running (ran?) for, but this should give any prospective voters enough insight into the type of politician he could be if elected. Not the tweet - everyone tweets dumb shit, stop fucking crying - but the responses, victimhood, radio silence for years and then a frenzy of activity, and finishing it off with some more flame fanning to salve his clearly fragile ego. How many red flags can you give prospective constituents? Tweet it, own it, say it with your fucking chest, and stop trying to have a “nuanced conversation”. Retweeting red meat isn’t the medium for nuanced conversations, that’s what you do when you’re too lazy to jerk off.

He's also a fake progressive like Brian Stack (who is currently using gobs of taxpayer money to fight Hoboken on their plan to build housing that might slightly block some Union City millionaires NYC views). The machine likes him. He voted to ban all marijuana stores from opening in Union City and I have no doubt he'd extend that to all of Hudson County if allowed.

That’s fair, so I was looking you up.

I looked your Twitter up, found you bragging about making people on Reddit cry, which I guess would include me?

Your offer doesn’t seem genuine. If I meet with you, will you brag about shitting on me on Twitter like you just did? Why would I ever meet with you then.

It’s interesting to see certain “progressives” employing the same immature tactics that Trump & Co. use when they have nothing substantive or useful to add to a conversation. He’s trying to be edgy like AOC, but he has zero substance.

It’s juvenile behavior and people who act like this should not be in positions of power.

Want to protect long term residents? Build dense housing instead of letting people build more one unit Bayonne Boxes that are net decreases in the housing stock.

In every community that's tried restrictive zoning, the end result has been mansions, not affordable housing. Jersey City still has tons of old buildings, if we ban new construction, everyone who would have moved to the new construction will move to the old homes and turn them into mansions instead.

  1. Just because something hasn’t been done, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done. How would things ever be improved upon if we never allowed change? That being said…see point 2.
