Quote of the Day: It appears we'll have control of the city council

by: Jason Springer

Unless Dawn Zimmer asks for a recount, Peter Cammarano will be the next Mayor of Hoboken by a margin of 161 votes. Even if she doesn't, the victory of Zimmer's council candidates has them still ready to flex their muscles:
"It appears we'll have control of the City Council," Zimmer said yesterday.

"The council majority is going to be able to stop the NJ Transit Western Edge, and other out-of-scale projects that are currently in the works," said Zimmer's campaign manager Sam Briggs. "They will finally make redevelopment work for the people of Hoboken and not just the developers."

The new mayor dismissed those concerns:
"Every mayor has to work with whatever council they are presented with. And no City Council majority is lasting," he said. "Just because you have three council members who are with Zimmer doesn't mean they will always vote in lockstep. You will always have some new issue that will change their minds."
It looks like things will continue to be fun in Hoboken.
