Let's hear how mayor spins it
December 22, 2006 JJ
Letters to the Editor
My last letter raised a number of important questions.
1) How long have the apartments owned by Mayor Roberts on First and Monroe streets been vacant rather than be offered to needy families?
2) After all the grandstanding, how many dollars of the mayor's salary have actually been paid to homeless Hobokenites?
3) Exactly how much does Mayor Roberts get annually as his pension? And oh yeah, how much would that pension be if the less than five years he served as a firefighter weren't counted in his municipal service?
These are questions the city's public information officer should be answering.
Mr. Bill Campbell shouldn't be spending his time making legitimate questions about the mayor's finances into political sport. And while he's getting answers to those important questions, let me ask one more: Why does Mr. Campbell, who waxes poetic how wonderful it is to live in Hoboken, choose himself to live in Union City, in direct violation of Hoboken's residency requirement for city employees?
