Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter to lend support to my friend Tim Occhipinti for the upcoming election on Nov. 2 in the 4th Ward. Tim represents so many thousands of Hoboken residents that look for honest government, respect for tradition, and a government that works on behalf of its people. I found it remarkable that Hoboken unfortunately had to pay a six million dollar tax increase to Hudson County, an increase that Occhipinti would have fought against. I know that Tim and I share a lot of the same desires for our city, a city where we should not be beholden to such unfair circumstances. And if such circumstances occur, I expect my government to fight for my city, not to be complacent. I also know that Tim has full support of our Police Department, and will stand by us even after election season if over. If you support a government that is honest and a police department that does what’s right for our city, please support Tim Occhipinti on Nov. 2.
Justin L. DePascale
