I really hope that is not the case, but, the city will need state/federal help... the state democrat political machine needs to curb the "new reform" mayor from JC because you wouldn't other parts of the state to follow the lead of Jersey City voters. It's going to be interesting, lets see how the mayor monitors his administration. Posted on: Today 8:47 | |

Oh, come on. That talent comes with a disregard for ethics and morals. Think your standards might be a little low? In fact, I'd question why Fulop would want to associate with someone who has acted so corruptly during their career. Hmm...

I hate it when people use phrases like "top quality talent at a discount"... if someone is that good, why discount your services? And save the "wants serve the public" quotes. He has been there and it didn't produce much. By all measures, that is a damn good salary compared to many Jersey City residents. How many other people were considered for the job? What is the current salary with benefits and how does that compare to similar positions in other cities? And based on the fact that bribes / pay-to-play is considered a cost to doing business in New Jersey, it is usually the taxpayer that gets screwed. Posted on: Yesterday 14:24 | |

 Joined: Group: | Agreed. McGreevey, despite his past personal shortcomings, has dedicated his time and efforts at a worthy cause in recent years, counseling inmates and helping them once they are out. That's a rather noble thing. I say let's give the guy a chance. Posted on: Yesterday 14:23 | |

 Joined: Group: | Who is Robert Knapp to be slinging mud? He currently holds 3 government jobs for a total salary of $108,463. 1) Hudson County-$88,296, 2) NJ City University-$3,750 3) East Newark Borough-$16,417 (but he lives in Jersey City). This is a step down for Mr. Knapp from a couple of years ago, when he actually had 4 government paychecks (he was spokesperson for HC Sheriff Juan Perez).

 Joined: Group: | Chair of Jersey City jobs program predicts fight over McGreevey appointment By Terrence T. McDonald/The Jersey Journal The chair of a Jersey City jobs program that Mayor Steve Fulop wants former Gov. Jim McGreevey to run is predicting a battle over the appointment, noting that only the program?s board of directors can hire and fire its employees. Last week, Fulop stunned political observers when he announced he wants McGreevey, 55, to head the Jersey City Employment and Training Program, a 20-year-old nonprofit that administers the city?s job training plan. But Bob Knapp, who chairs the program?s seven-member board of directors, said he believes the board will stand by the program?s current director, Keith Davis. ?We want to work with the new administration, we want to do what?s right by the city,? Knapp said. ?However, the city does not have the authority to appoint or terminate an executive director.? Fulop wants McGreevey to run the JCETP and work with the city to create a re-entry program for ex-inmates. McGreevey helps to run a similar program for Hudson County, which the former governor says has been successful in getting former prisoners jobs and housing. Knapp, the deputy director of the Hudson County Welfare Division, lobbied hard for Fulop?s main opponent in the May 14 mayoral race, former Mayor Jerramiah Healy. Fulop noted that when asked about Knapp?s thoughts on the McGreevey appointment. ?I really don?t think it?s going to be an issue,? Fulop said in a meeting with editors of The Jersey Journal. ?His board is appointed by us.? Knapp, who said he wouldn't mind McGreevey taking another job with the city, notes that only two members of the board have terms expiring this year. Fulop brushed aside Knapp?s concerns. ?I suspect the majority will be fine with change,? Fulop said. ?I don?t think anyone can say that place has achieved everything it?s capable of achieving.? In the meeting with The Jersey Journal, Fulop again defended his choice to team up with McGreevey, who is set to join the city payroll in September at an annual salary of $110,000. McGreevey in 2004 resigned as governor after declaring himself a ?gay American.? At the time, he was facing a sexual harassment suit on behalf of a former lover whom McGreevey appointed as a homeland-security advisor, despite the man?s scant qualifications. Fulop said he isn?t concerned with McGreevey?s past troubles. ?I?m looking at his performance over the last 10 years,? he said. ?It?s probably second to none as it relates to prisoner re-entry.? McGreevey currently ministers to drug-addicted female inmates at the Hudson County jail. He said his volunteer work there will continue when he begins working for the city. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... cgreevey_appointment.html Posted on: 7/16 23:20 | |

There's nothing wrong with challenging the Mayor on this appointment. It is clearly controversial and demands extra scrutiny by the citizens of Jersey City. The Mayor has a stacked deck council on his side. It is up to us to keep him honest. Posted on: 7/15 21:33 | |

In that case he has my full approval, hope and responsibility needs to be spread at all corners of the city. +1 on that besides, McGreevey's tenure will be scrutinized not just by JC residents but the media as well. He was written up my big news organizations and I think it's in his best interest to keep it legit. Posted on: 7/15 21:26 | |

This is an ad-hominem attack and does nothing to address the actual argument - that McGreevey has a proven track record of being corrupt. You don't need to be bitter about the election to realize that. Posted on: 7/15 20:17 | |

We don't need him, and we certainly don't need to pay him $110,000 a year for his services. This is a disgrace and a distraction. MeGreevey, GO AWAY! Posted on: 7/15 18:53 | |
