Jersey City Politicians Make Me Proud! Well, Not Really.

First we got a mayor who gets convicted of assault down the Jersey shore during a night of drunken revelry (http://www.nj.com/columns/jjournal/index.ssf?/base/columns-0/1226129149293070.xml&coll=3) we now get councilmen getting into the act trying to one-up the Mayor (http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2008/11/jersey_city_councilman_lipski.html)

And people wonder why Hudson county politicians are such a joke.

I am truly sorry to hear this story about Steve Lipsky. He has always appeared to me as bright, level-headed, and practical. This current situation, if true, is obviously an act of poor judgement, which is not in line with my impression of his character. My prayers are with him and his family that he find the inner strength to overcome his problem, and resume a promising future.
