Mayor Roberts mistakes 'promises' for 'achievements'

Dear Hoboken Reporter:

Last week, the Hoboken Reporter published an advertisement from Mayor Roberts in which he pats himself on the back for all he has achieved. Unfortunately, the Mayor seems to mistake promises for achievements. Not one of his "achievements" has, as yet, actually been achieved. The Mayor will earn the credit he seeks only if, and when, his "achievements" become real.

The Mayor states that he has identified seven acres in Southwest Hoboken as the next park site. Actually, those seven acres were identified by the City's Master Plan. We commend the Mayor for recognizing his responsibility to implement the Master Plan's open space vision. We look forward to the day when the ribbon is cut, and Mayor Roberts can bask in the glow of the accolades he will then rightly receive.

Respectfully,
Stan Grossbard
