Nepotism

On May 25, 2011; Jersey City’s council which is structured with elected leaders like: Council President Peter M. Brennan; Kalimah H. Ahmad, Radames Velazquez Jr. – Micheal J. Scottolano, David P. Donnelly, Nidia R. Lopez, William A. Gaughan, Steve Fulop, and Viola Richardson. The council comprised of Team Healy; a mayor who hand feeds his legislative agenda, voted against Steven Fulop’s proposals to consolidate the Department of Cultural Affairs (RES. 11-309), and the Jersey City Economic Development Center (RES. 11-308).

The all ganged up on the lone wolf council representative – on his tally against what practices needs to be done. Now on RES. 11-309, Jersey City shouldn’t be consolidating this department, without making concessions. Since a city as large as Jersey City can be harmed if they shifted the responsibilities to Hudson County. And Fulop, does make a point; If Jersey City is paying twice for these services – then one has to give. And maybe Steve Fulop should propose a resolution that would abolish the dual paying jobs within the county. Jobs that are no show, or no rewards or payment but you as a tax payer would pay twice.

This blog isn’t a positive for the councilman – one this blog isn’t on his payroll: two, the councilman very rarely or never supports anything this blog does. This blog is truly independent – and grassroots, because we don’t finance anyone’s campaign. This blog doesn’t care who is in charge, and don’t support two face political leaders. Leaders that engage in political discrimination in public with coding and secret resolutions!

Now on the Jersey City Economic Development Center, the people running the show have no-clue on what they are doing. Is running a romped scheme to jargonize and monopolize the entire city of Jersey City – whereas they are increasing the tax value, with greed and nepotism. The Urban Enterprise Zone was a low cost system of services that didn’t exceed its rules of the pension plans for fire fighters, and police officers—or place burdens on small businesses property taxes.

In six years the Urban Enterprise Zone has tripled or doubled its use – whereas it over exceeds the rated value set during the Jim McGreevy administration. And Jersey City was naturally high on developing through the Urban Enterprise Zone – because it was great low interest rates loans. Yet, Mayor Healy and his administration manage to mishandle the functions – how the funds are incorporated, and use theses services to pony up dual stipend jobs higher than the market rate for companies. The non-profit that doesn’t have functions and ties to the city of Jersey City but ask on behalf of the city—can’t or doesn’t control the rates of loans provided by the independent company!

I have had my battles with the Urban Enterprise Zone: and raise a couple of questions – what makes this company that is a non-profit, and gets general funding for it services that doesn’t contribute to the tax burdens of the city – any better than the same smaller company that actually does. Coaches! 101 is a not-for-profit company, which pays more than its fair share of taxes. And to note or say one person is better than the other because of political clot—only bleeds and speaks corruption. I remember when the JCEDC tried it very best to close this blog down – and now it our turn to fight the oppressor.

Yet, In order to save the Urban Enterprise Zone would mean that New Jersey’s Governor Chris Christie would have to place into effect the Millionaires Tax. And the Windfall Profits Tax on energy companies – a levy that paid for such services these desperados take advantage of – must be approved by the Governor. Now why would Governor Chris Christie continue to feed a system that rewards: NO show jobs, no reward on double taxation – and a dispersion of public trust? As people say time in and time out – there’s nothing wrong with the UEZ funds; whereas the only problem with it is the people running it. And in my honest opinion; taxes are high not because we are over taxed. They are high because political leaders have ponzied a scheme to benefit the well connected. Hudson County is the ruler of double tax paying jobs – it’s the king of allowing or forcing political bribes, and it’s the plague for corruption stings.

Hudson County Elections

Hudson County Political showdown


We want you to know who your leaders – running for office, are and where they stand or platforms they have created. Since in Hudson County, this is considered the superbowl of politics. Starting at the peninsula city and the state’s second largest city (Bayonne and Jersey City) -- Sandra Bolden Cunningham, who is running on the ticket: Hudson County Democratic Organization. Her Democratic Challenger is Bruce D. Alston – who is running on the ticket of: Believe In The Vote.

In recent polling data, from independent sources—which includes phone banking, email chatter, and organized committee members. Sandra Cunningham has a 4-1 edge on the would be challenger. And her record of helping those in need has mounted her election. She has state very quiet in this effort, and has campaigned on what she knows and does.

Bruce Alston, is really unknown plus known as a one ward candidate. People don’t know much about his political endeavors—where he came from, and mostly know he is a small business owner in ward (F) of Jersey City. Some of the older generation says he is out of touch with the roles and rules of government.

On the Republican ticket an unchallenged Donnamarie James, who is running on the ticket: Hudson County Republican Party; in a challenge that has been called weak. My question is what happen to Marie Day.

The 31 district once one of the strongest districts in Hudson County has plumped in popularity. Maybe during the General Election we will have more challengers. But overall, Sandra Cunningham may hold onto control of this and will win big – unless Bruce Alston can organize a grassroots campaign or garnish support for leaders in the county they respect.

In the 33rd District, which is nothing exciting—where Nicolas Saaco has ranging control, where he is now the Mayor of North Bergen, and will be the State Senator since nobody is challenging him. And the only challenge to be in the Democratic Party is Jeff Boss—the guy who say George W. Bush and the NSA is trying to kill him.

And in the Democratic Ticket for the 32nd there are no challengers for Mayor Brain Stack (Democratic) and Republican Beth Humburger—so this primary election will be boring, no political fights or maneuvering.

For your Assembly Ticket

The 31rst district has nobody to challenge or worry about as Charlie Manior, and Jason O’Donnell will still have open spaces left. And this district is weak and boring; since nobody knows what Manior has done—and feels that O’Donnell is an over paid political hack with 3 government stipend jobs.

As on the Republican Ticket, we have all new challengers with no Marie Day (Committee woman) yet we have an unchallenged Daniel E. Beckelman, and Michael J. Alonso—another boring run in Hudson County.

Moving on the 32rd a very competitive race—where there should have been one of these candidates facing Nick Saaco. Vincent Prieto , and Angelica M. Jimenez, running under the HDCO ticket, will faceoff against -- Francisco E. Torres. And no challengers in the Republican slate for Michael J. Bartulovich, and Ronald F. Tarolla.

For the 33rd where we have Connors and Ramos Jr. against Bahilla, and unchallenged Republicans Fernando Uribe, and Christopher Garcia.

So this year Hudson County Politics failed to endorse or support a positive ticket, and making people wonder – why do we need primaries in the state of New Jersey for local elections.

*Looks like this year will be a boring year for elections -- since there's noboby creative enough to draw out any candidates. Sparking the debate -- why would we or do we need a Primary Elections at the local levels.

HANDS Program

Here is the Letter sent to Mayor Healy -- Robert Bryne and leaders in New Jersey on the HANDS Program.

Robert,

This letter and email is being sent to talk about the process of using HUD funds under this program : FY 2010 TI: Homeless Families Demonstration Small Grant, US Department of Housing and Urban Development; CFDA Number: 14.525 CFDA Description: Transformation Initiative Research Grants: Demonstration and Related Small Grants, Opportunity Number: FR-5415-N-23A, Competition ID: HFDSMR-23A, Opportunity Open Date: 04/08/11: Opportunity Close Date: 05/11/11: Agency Contact: Applicants may contact Elizabeth Rudd at (202) 402-7607. Persons with speech or hearing impairments may call the Federal Information Relay Service TTY at (800) 877-8339.

Coaches! 101 are asking the City of Jersey City in helping and assisting to apply and approve of the appropriate of this program with a private to public partnership. And using the private system of where the Department of Finance can bond out the moneys to our program to infuse H.A.N.D.S. (Helping Assist Neighborhoods Demanding Support). Coaches! 101 have 4 sets of fundraising options after the fact on this award being awarded. The property has been abandoned for more than 4 years—where nothing has been in place to redevelop such properties. This agenda has an application date set for 05/11/2011 to apply, and Coaches! 101 has applied for this program. We are asking the city of Jersey City to approve of the plan—with budget details, on either bonding out the funds, in order for this program to be enacted—and credited on Coaches! 101 (PAC)’s 1120 reports. This plan is a win—win for Jersey City, because it take an online company and turn it into a commodity of valued assets, redevelops an abandon property—through tax credits or tax deductions, and brings value and public / private services to the community. Robert, thank you for the help, and I hope you become a valued advocate for this agenda, because it would be a valued plus for Jersey City and Coaches! 101.

P.S. The Property isn’t bank owned – doesn’t have a real estate dealer owning the property and Coaches! 101 have been approved by the NJ State banking and Regulatory Department to have home – legal, auto and health insurance provider. And as a full liability corporation Political Action Committee we are a firm that has the same rights as a bank and real estate agency.

Paid For by Omar Dyer CEO of Coaches! 101 / Coaches! 101 PO Box 4463 Jersey City NJ 07304 – 160 Thorne Street Jersey City, NJ 07304— www.coaches101.org (201)208-4533

Master Plan sent to Jersey City's Clerk Office:

2/7/2011
Office of the Mayor
Office of City Clerk
280 Grove St
Jersey City NJ 07302

City Hall—Office of the Mayor: Master Plan

Master Plan on Development

The plan for Coaches! 101 are to redevelop an abandoned un-used non-appraised property, and apply for assistance from the City of Jersey City in Bonds at a rate of 4%, and apply for the funds from HUD. As a Political Action Committee—any contribution to the committee as a whole will be reported on our 1120 return statements. Our plan is to ask the city to bond out the property, and use the tax credits as a private / public entity to control and share cost. While the city of Jersey City gains a profit in the mix.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Drive – 479 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive there is an abandoned building, with no real estate agency developing the product, no insurance company developing the product, no appraisal on record besides what the Department of Housing and Urban Development gives out for broken and abandoned properties—which is $75,000. While the banking industry hasn’t been able or is unwilling to buy the property, reinvest in the property, or give financial solutions on redeveloping the property.

Coaches! 101 (PAC) plans to incorporate H.A.N.D.S. program – which is Helping Assist Neighborhoods Demanding Support – with a community center, and a business solution center. The Community Center will be a one stop solution for the working poor, on assisting them on finding jobs, and other solutions—where the one stop center wasn’t able or couldn’t help because of resources, and demand. Be a safe house for those who are working homeless, and assist them with fiscal needs. Plus give Coaches! 101 a business place of residence instead of being an online vendor.

Hiring Practices

We plan to hire local contractors or independent contractors that live in Jersey City, using the workforce tax credit—once, the city of Jersey City bond, donate or lease in business favor of Coaches! 101 (PAC) business proposals. The practice of hiring Jersey City contractors would be placed in the budget submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Focus of Project

The Project will not be some make shift or community uplifting project. It will help lessen the burdens of the taxpaying citizens, bring value to an abandon building on the block-revive a community setting, and give help to the community begging for needs. In the Community Housing Center, there would be a source of broadband services – staffing for those individuals in need, and education.

We have talked to the director of the Revelopment Center and was stated this project would need city approval after an application was submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. We have spoken to Darnice Toon from Jersey City’s Department of Urban Development, and no-such response has been forseen. As problems like abandon buildings and warned down properties that deflat the vaules of other homes throughout the city. Our plan is simple, we are looking for a no-money down voucher payment waiver—whereas the city of Jersey City bonds out $75,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the selected address of the project called H.A.N.D.S. Which will allow the state registered insurance company #4916537 under Coaches! 101 A NJ Non-Profit state license # 0400172435 sucure funds and assist families in need.

Dr. Omar Dyer is a sole trader whom has fully disclosed his political intentions, financial disclousure forms, and draw back on how he will re-pay the bond or tax deduction/ credit. He has publicly won unpaid contracts on the federal level in recent attemps where his company Dun & Bradstreet credit report has this company’s grant and bonding rating in the top percentile.
Thank You

Coaches! 101 CEO Omar Dyer: PO Box 4463 Jersey City NJ, 07304 registered by the state of New Jersey to practice civil insurance as a Public Notary at Law.

Dyer v John Jack Kelly

Jersey City NJ’s Revaluation plan is a side show to promote a higher calling for the Hudson County Executive. And to make points on the practices of Solomon Dwek still exist. Whereas the current adjustable rates for the city of Jersey City are currently off on its assessment. In 1988 when the city was assessed the property taxes where at $1.6 million, and in 20 or more years the tax rate is now $4 million—that’s more than a 85% increase on municipal taxes, and a 15% decrease on federal aid. Which is pretty amazing because of the levels of abandon properties and abated buildings? Jersey City Tax Assessor Ed Toloza stated: “Most properties are valued on how much it takes in and not the overall surrounding. And most investors would value the take in proportions of the property.” Which is absolutely wrong, as noted a property that is openly abandon, and unused will bring down the value of the block, increase the rate on what the city can collect, and weaken the property no matter how much in revenue spending the higher earning tax block brings in. For instance 314 Communipaw Ave draws almost $2.2 million in revenues, and pays the city of Jersey City in average of $200,000 in adjusted taxes which is 22% on the tax rate--while the state askes for 30%. And since many of those properties are abated, its that notion where they aren’t obligated to pay, if revenues are down. And right now many abated tax blocks don’t pay a dime in property taxes, and many taxed homes like small business, and sole traders are getting cheated.

The Hudson County Executive’s office requested the state to give a revaluation assessment on Jersey City. Where they will be going block by block to revaluate homes. Where many will see their property taxes and home valuations go up or down. Since right now there are 51680 tax payers, and 8776 tax exempted—while an unreported 2,000 abandoned. Realty Appraisal Company said they would assess the property to its actual value. And they basically presented themselves to the public as the company who will control the value of your home, and report to the tax assessor on what they should charge you on the adjusted rates and proportion setting on what the city views as a tax increase—or decrease. Yet, what people don’t know is that if there aren’t any sales on your block—no matter what the evaluation really is, they will assess that property to the value on the books, and make your block radius tax assesment will go up or down. I say that the revaluation process for Jersey City is needed, and many people’s taxes will go down, yet my concern is what about the properties that have lack of sales. And nobody can answer that question! It was a side show to promote the company called Realty Appraisal Company.

What we learned from this side show was the notion that 101 Hudson St Jersey City NJ was assessed on pennies on the dollar, sold for $1.6 million with abatements, and gives the city of Jersey City $2.5 million in terms of taxing revenue, when it should be $5.4 million. Meaning the building manager and property owner of 101 Hudson st, hasn’t paid its fair share on how the city pays social services. Municipal and Social Services meaning – schools, road repairs, cops, fire fighters, municipal employees, and social services: such as welfare, unemployment, block grants, and self employment tax credits. And Jersey City has the most in the nation of 30 year abated properties. And the people are asking for something to change.
