Why would anyone vote for Mayor Jerramiah Healy?

Dear Editor:
Why would anyone vote for the incompetence of Mayor Jerramiah Healy and his unscrupulous cohorts? Unless you feel that the mayor and all his political lackeys have the right to satisfy their selfish thirst for greed by milking their constituents dry, while creating an undesirable place to raise a family in which your tax dollars have no value.
Why would anyone vote for the incompetence of Mayor Jerramiah Healy and his unscrupulous cohorts? Unless you are fully naive to the fact that top heavy government officials, some don’t even reside in the city, are permitted to hold multiple high salary positions, without justification. You totally accept the fact that the lowest salaried employee should be laid off or dismissed to save these political leeches and loyal friends of Healy. You agree that they deserve these created and appointed government positions even while the unemployment rate of Jersey City is above the national average.
Why would anyone vote for the incompetence of Mayor Jerramiah Healy and his unscrupulous cohorts? Unless you firmly believe that abatements are the key to a successful municipality? You accept a tremendous raise, in your property taxes, to achieve this losing economic subsidy, while the politicians reap the rewards.
Why would anyone vote for the incompetence of Mayor Jerramiah Healy and his unscrupulous cohorts? Unless you firmly believe that our streets are safer now than before he took office over a decade ago, and you refuse to face the cold hard realism that your life and the life of your loved ones are in constant danger, in or out of your home. You ignore the fact that you have developed a strong case of whiplash looking over your shoulder, out of fear that some violent deviate will compromise your existence.
Why would anyone vote for the incompetence of Mayor Jerramiah Healy and his unscrupulous cohorts? Unless you feel totally complacent and satisfied living in a regressive life threatening, economically challenged environment, waking up to daily increases of closed businesses, abandoned homes and buildings, for rent or lease signs, unsafe deteriorating parks, dirty dangerous streets, potholes, unmarked school zones, pedophiles, muggings, illegal guns processions, murders, drugs, prostitution, gangs, truants, vandals, homeless, panhandlers, constant lies, fabrications, manipulating reports, while our taxes are up and our services are down. Healy fiddles while Jersey City burns and his administration dances to his tone of destruction. These negativities continue to destroy our urban existence, while the mayor and his bought and sold cronies are lying to us all with a straight face.
Unfortunately Jersey City has been rapidly regressing with Jerramiah Healy, as Mayor, but we do have the power to change this rapid tailspin course of ruin, by voting him out of office. This year we have the opportunity to eliminate the oppressive burdens of greed and failure, the choice is ours? Remember we deserve what we elect, so let’s stop this madness? Eliminate voter apathy! Go out and vote, because we do deserve the best?
