Election 2013

My letter is to ask the African American community, and those that are leaders in the community to open their hearts up just a tad on the political activeness. One, the viral attacks – letter campaigns and rope-a-dope actions going on against Candidates for the mayoral race in Jersey City is getting out of hand with the run-to the paper, letter campaign.

As a perennial candidate, and public / private advocate – my address to the editor is addressing these open letters. You have a vast majority of supporters, following Mayor Healy: (Which is good) and you have a small number of supporters following Councilmember Steven Fulop (Which is also good) since it means Jersey City is politically active for this mayoral race. What bothers me are these anti-black rhetoric coming from African American leaders, on Fulop’s commitment? I must point out that I have been a Steven Fulop supporter since 2009, when he helped me launch my crazy bid for a Gubernatorial Race in New Jersey, even though he knew I didn’t stand a chance; he supported the effort of a college student engaging in politics. What I don’t understand is the velocity of hate media trying to paint a picture of how his commitment should be deemed devilish, by him helping out the African American community’s children. Whether it’s coming from an advertisement on Martin Luther King Drive, or Jackson Avenue—we as people need to open our eyes on the benefactors of our community. This is the same community that is begging for leadership – in which I myself has been diligently tinkering on while living in Jersey City’s hardest hit places for the last 7 years.

We need to look at the facts: Sure Steven Fulop is no perfect politician, but that’s what he is: A Political leader. Which means he should be allowed to engage with students, children and all communities for the benefit of the community; and not to be denounced upon for political purposes? Some of those who are public workers, and participate in public service, and happen to be elected or appointed members of the same administration—holding the growth of the city hostage; need to take a valid look in the mirror, and stay non-partisan on critical issues, when a candidate is trying to introduce themselves to the public. Since some of the rhetoric is boarding the lines of reverse racism. Where those are hating others based on the simple notion of who they support? Mayor Jerramiah Healy has been a complete disorganized leader for Jersey City in the last 8 year. We reward him 4 more years because no candidate wanted to challenge him due to the notion of Healy’s nasty honchos. I encourage those who have vast opinions, to run for Mayor. Let’s make sure Mayor Healy doesn’t get 4 more years: 16 years to run Jersey City in the tanker. He’s not Barack Obama, and he shouldn’t be trying to act like he is.

Omar Dyer looking for a Reform Party Nomination

This is the PR team for Omar Dyer, we are PAID to talk about Omar Dyer. This isn't Omar Dyer.

Omar Dyer after failing to make the ballot in the Democratic Primaries, (based on support) made a choice not to submit his petitions, and withdraw from the Primaries. He's now running for the complete nomination of the Reform Party in New Jersey. At the Reform Party Convention -- Omar Dyer laid out his plan for the Senate. And he made clear objectives that he's looking for a generational shift in Congress. At the convention Omar Dyer talked about the role of Ted Kennedy in Washington.

"Washington is dysfunctional, where the Republicans has gone to one side and the Democrats have gone to the other... Nobody is willing to step out of their bases, to make compromise, you have no leader that will go into the Latino Caucus, and the Black Caucus and pull them out of that line in the sand."

Omar Dyer talked about that there would need to be a generational shift in Capitol Hill like it was in the 60s when the Kennedy Family came into power. And Omar Dyer said that he has a proven track record on getting both republican interest, and democratic interest on coming together so government can break the wall of political differences, in order to make government run more smoothly.

In a private off camera interview, Omar Dyer stated that he can bring a middle ground approach to Washington because he has been in tough yell, and scream meetings with Gov. Chris Christie -- where Omar Dyer came out on top. And has helped advocate with Assembly speaker Oliver, with NJ Back to work. While Omar Dyer has also been a west winger of Lautenberg's administration! And Omar Dyer believes that the current Senator isn't about the problems that face New Jersey, and has lost touch on what the goals of the Senate is suppose to be when in Capitol Hill. Omar Dyer told his personal news organization that he believes that he can break the divide, get Gov. Chris Christie at the table, bring the Democrats along with him and keep government moving. Because what's going to happen is Senator Menendez will continue to bash the Governor and not understand the roles of what the Senator should be doning for New Jersey. And the Governor is going to try and elect a Republican, so the party can beat up on the Democrats. Which will be political theater at best? Omar Dyer is trying to prove that electing an Independent will create a generational shift, send a message and force Government to move in the direction of the people.

President Obama v. Conservatives

It has always been part of the Republican electric to defeat and beat democrats, yet what we have seen in this party or base called: Republicans are outside of the general public. The National Republican base has become some sort of a joke in politics. Paul Ryan, has been part of the leadership that was waged differences in baiting a divide in someone who has pigment in their skin. This is a social vetting process that many fiscal conservatives' likes to point out on distinguishing themselves from Caucasian members of this American conservative movement in the 2000 era.

Let me be frankly clear on this subject, I am a Barack Obama supporter based on his economic policy. He has the right steady approach that can manage government, private, plus public interest-where it can improve an economy. Obama's road to recovery, has stabled the foundation in this country's economic structure. And has a moderate view on the taxing code of this country's financial outlook. This same administration has placed in key policies that have allowed the private sector to grow in record numbers - with 23 consecutive months of private sector growth. Which mean, public moneys were placed in private companies to spur consumer confidence? Consumer confidence is based on risk factors, marketing strategies, and projection outlook based on the values represented in the market.

Like, making the move to invest in General Motors (some people say bailout) moderates will call it an investment. When that investment made public became the outcry of: Government will take over the auto industry. Which was the exact opposite: Government gave the corporation an extended life line-investing in a turn-a-round process. What happened - GM is now the number company in the automotive industry in the world. That's one investment he made, and President Barack Obama didn't place on single mandate on GM, and only asking them to keep jobs in America. Now we are looking at profit gains for an American Company instead of share losses, and public debt on the death of a company. Since the American Public would still have to pay off the debt of the company, even if the loan was approved. And instead of the people getting back that dollar, they will lose that dollar. Obama 1 conservative 0.

The American public then came to the flow of how we create jobs in energy. The movement to create alternative energy, and jobs that would rid us on foreign energy (solely) started in Solar, Wind, Natural, and Bio-technology-as Alternative Energy became the number tool of investments. President Barack Obama made a solid choice to invest 60% of the Recovery Act into energy investments. This in turn has created 3 million jobs. And what is meant by 3 million jobs, is in direct jobs such as manufacturing and infrastructure jobs based on the investments on a public to private intervention. Meaning, by tweaking the rules and requirements for Community Block Grants, and personal bonds, and loan packages-companies were able to finance critical projects that created actual jobs in other industries. Example: Megan White from Arizona - wanted to improve her home for the weathering season. She was allowed to work with Solyndra-(what people don't know is this company was a distributor) and one of the sub-contracting companies issues parts to organize a product that created 250,000 in direct jobs. But how did this help Megan White, well Megan was allowed to apply for a grant at her local economic development agency, worth $20,000. With that $20,000 she was able to invest at the local store on improvements to her home. And in the process, Solyndra - would supply the facility that she was purchasing from with the goods she needed. A balanced way to capitalize income on public investments - where the public actually made a profit, and the business side, had stable rates. Obama 2 - conservatives 0

What happened with Solyndra? John Boehner, and the Republican Party wanted to make an example of any company President Barack Obama invested in, and in order to embarrass the president. John Boehner cut - all funding for direct employment and freezes all pay-out options to the energy company. And in directly used chatter to main stream the republican electric to follow a lead of firing public employees in order to overload a system. So by firing public employees in this department that handle such private events, there would be a black lash of applications or overload. That would cause the system to shake out numbers that looked good in the public or media eye, but not what was really going on. Obama 2 - conservatives 1.

The conservative base, knew that if nothing was sent out of Washington, and they attacked President Barack Obama's Health Care Law - they can force President Obama to crack. And the pressure would cause him to make mistakes that would undermine the process, so they can win an election. This is what happened; the republican leadership couldn't find a leader that can challenge President Obama. Like they were opening a can of worms, and the first leader to eat the worms and lead - happened to be the President! For every move they made that would shift the electric in one way, President Obama had his supporters jump on top of them. And leading the base or electric from behind; like stirring a ship that's lost back on track-without even being the captain of the ship! Smart Obama and Team 3 - conservatives 1.

Now the chatter and talk is back to national debt and budget out comes. In an interview on Meet the Press for the 02/19/2012 segment - Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan made a statement that President Barack Obama's budget does nothing to held the general economy. Please note that he is the point man for republican budgets-whom the leadership follows. And in that statement, he said: Obama's budget is $1.9 trillion in revenue increases, and $1.5 trillion in spending cuts. And he said that was a bad thing. Well, I am no expert on money matters-I mean I have certificates (non degree) in small business administration from New York University seminar classes. And have been approved as a notary public in the state of New Jersey-plus become a litigant with the Internal Revenue Service. So these numbers are hard to break down, but I think I can handle it. The number figures of $1.9 trillion means tax incentivizes for private and public interest. And the $1.5 trillion in spending cuts are - deductions and credits that will allow corporate and wealthy regain what was taken away. Get the numbers and look at them well, because Republicans will spin this as a negative. Yet, here's the real ticker-out of that number there will be a $400 billion dollar surplus-were $250 million can be generated on a 4 quarterly basis. Where it comes down to for every $1 that the tax payer spends - America will make $2.50 in profit. This means that the American economy will generate $1.50 on what was spent, and the tax payer will get $1 of that. Sounds like a smart investment doesn't it - I mean this would make republicans jump for joy if President Barack Obama was republican and white.

The sole reason why Paul Ryan discredits this number isn't because of the terms and policies on how the legislation was written-it was on the sole principle that President Obama happens to be half black. And that theory and notion that black men can't be that smart in economics. Well, I am a volunteer that helps marginalize some of the economic interest that we see in some of President Obama's economic Policy. And if you getting a 2.5 to 1 rate on investments-then who cares what type of pigment in the person's skin brought that turn-a-round it should be celebrated as a great achievement. Obama 3 -conservatives 1

If you think President Obama is doing wrong with the economy, just take a look at these important facts. In 2009 in February the Dow Jones Industrial was at 9,000 points. It fell from 10,500 to 8,000 points in the late summer. Where millions of jobs had been lost? Today the Dow Jones Industrial is now approaching 13,000 points in the stock market. That's a huge increase from 8,000 points to 13,000 points and improving. And even though the middle class has seen stable economic growth, we are looking at marginal increase for the middle class if the road map is unchanged. I know people are not happy, but pulling the rug just to score points, and make sure that someone fails is not the answer to a robust American economy. Winner President Obama, for leading and jumping on every issue.

Will You Occupy Justice Speech

One thing about me, and writing books and memoirs—are what people like about my jargons. They love the fact that you will get a moralizing speech somewhere in the documentation. This speech called, “Will You Occupy for Justice,” is about why we as the people made a choice to occupy.


Will You Occupy for Justice

As we the people came together and mocked a symbol of hope and passion for life, plus solidarity to the people. We came to New York City, and staged a protest. We the people protested against these mal-practices of the banking system. We fought against the corruption of greed in capitalism—plus the perception the rich had on the middle class. We as people believed in fighting for the middle class, and the struggling poor. Our fight, against the financial industrial system—isn’t a fight against capitalism; or the overthrow on who is wealthy plus the many that are poor. This fight should always be about economic security, and the power of the people to demand a fare and cleaner government. As I rehash an old statement:

The People are tired I say, (They are tired of what) -- They are tired of being brought by politics.

If you are tired of having your cultural beliefs, the right to worship any religion you choose, plus the moral right to your personal health. You as a person shouldn’t be subjected to the political trials, and religious trial binaural on a public display—to what you do with your bodies. And religious prosecution should never be a political tool, to divide the people from worshiping their God.

The People are tired I say, (They are tired of what) -- They are tired of being brought by politics.

Tired of leaders favoring corporate interest, because of what has been donated to their re-election campaign fund. Tired of leaders, mocking the poor—while jazzercising the same corporate interest that lobbied their campaigns. Tired of special favors for those who incorporate the art of thievery—while mocking the lives of the poor and middle class. Tired of using investments as a tool to segregate the passion of the people. Tired of those who live in the 1% while you have others that occupy the world of the 99%. Tired of record profits from the banking system that bet against your financial health—in a system that gets paid whether you fail or gain success. Like Bank of America—reaping in $4.8 billion dollars in charging 10% in hidden fees on your money marketing accounts, debt accounts, and home equity accounts. While taking $64 billion dollars in T.A.R.P. funds, to bail out their board room debts, while forcing many people into equity problems, that led to homes being foreclosed on! If you are tired of a bank, reaping profits off of your financial misery—then you can understand why people are occupying the streets.

The people are tired I say, (They are tired of what) -- They are tired of being brought by politics.

People are tired of our candidates for president using these religious principles that impact matters on social liabilities, as a marketing tool—to hamper the faith our your elected president. Yes we believe in the ideas that government shouldn’t be in the people’s bedroom. While the faith and beliefs of the people, shouldn’t be marketing tool on mocking someone’s faith. The health of our daughters’ and mothers’ bodies should be a family matter between the house of worship and the family. Not a tool, to divide some people from others based on the church and where that religious entity stands in politics. And the house of worship should never be in presidential campaigns. And candidates should have moral obligations to respect the sanctity of our public policies and religious beliefs, when it comes to family

Public Policy should never be a tool to swift vote the people from their leaders. And it’s against the principles set by the Catholic Church, to intrude people’s lives with matters on family values—to incorporate them into political persuasion. Since a spiritual cleaning, as no grounds to be a public matter.

The people are tired I say, (They are tired of what) -- They are tired of being brought by politics.

We came together in 2008, and worked hard –voted and created a symbol of change. And nobody said that this type of change would be easy, nobody said that changing the makeup of this country was going to happen overnight. And nobody said that working from the bottom up was going to dramatically change federal, state, or municipal government in one session, or year. And nobody anticipated a congressional house, and senatorial republicans—to be insubordinate on the growth of this country, in order to tank it, and make sure our president fails. And the leadership of John Boehner shouldn’t be about a copy-paste movement to swift vote the general public. And from day one, a lot of people who would never vote for, or have voted for President Barack Obama, wanted to make his presidential legacy—an illegitimate president. Where they have gone as far as disrespecting the office of the president

Voter Suppression

In Hudson County, there is a push to change elections to one day. They say it would save our budgets. But they are WRONG--this is a simple notion of Voter Suppression. And here's why we believe it's time to fight and advocate for voter's right to vote, on who runs our government.

Dear Editor:

Elections:

Jersey City is facing some hard times and challenges, and strong leadership is needed. There’s a strong move and push for our elections to be moved to November. Which bring great concerns to me as an advocate of Hudson County, New Jersey? And this type of populous movement to radically change elections, will present a dead challenge that we are facing today. The whole notion that candidates matter when it comes to election, plus the simple principals that advocates are born to provide the public with the basic information needed. I support Steven Fulop on how he handles a lot of things. Yet, this move to decrease the public’s perception, and marginalize elections—will deter voters from engaging into local politics. And for those that are constant voters, it will take away their advocacy voice. The movement to move elections to November is being spearheaded by Dan Levin. I have also had the opportiunity to stand side-by-side with Dan on key issues. Yet, this one I can’t allow him to influence and make critical decisions on or about.

I am writing this letter on asking the public to contact your elected leaders, and have them suppress this attempt to sway voter’s rights and privileges. What many people don’t know is that if you are a newly registered voter – you right to vote will only happen in a General Election. Since new voters can’t vote in the current election if they are first time voters. And if you recently moved to a new location, you voting right may be disqualified because you lose that record on a voting history. And that process won’t have the due diligence of an out of cycle election—such as the mayor, or school board. Now I know Mr. Dan Levin isn’t a bad guy but to sway voters from voting on an issue to cut the budget is a lack of concern for the people to have the right to advocate for a better government. And I am saying: Candidates matter when it comes to elections, and not the day, or the party they hold.

As the Hudson County representative for the DCCC, DNC and perennial candidate for the newly revamped 8th district in Hudson County! I am asking you to protect your rights to vote. Demand more debates, for local candidate—demand that candidates present themselves to the local block organizations, and the civic groups, and participate in these elections. Because if we have one election cycle, a lot of people will not be able to vote come November.

I would also, like to make one point as well. When you have first time voters--who register in the coming year: they will not be able to vote that year, if the elections where held in November (ONLY). (Since a lot of new voters vote in mayoral elections) They would have to make sure they are registered before the primary of a state or federal election before they can vote. And if there's no local election, they can't learn the system on how to vote until the November election. So now you will have broken ballots --(CHAD) because of voter confusion. Then let say, a person moved -- well they can only vote on a provisionary status, and many times their vote isn't counted in the popular vote. And the way for them to stabilize their voting credentials are to vote on a normal basis -- (municipal and BoE elections) if you take that away you will have a whole lot of people not being able to vote in November because of first time voters, people who recently changed their address-- old voters who are inspired to vote on a CANDIDATE. Just changing the date to create more of an illusion of a voter turnout--doesn't help the an election cycle. Don't save cost on budget items, and basically take the general public out of elections. The reason why we have a system of elections is because of CANDIDATES. Elections are created to know more about the candidates that will lead our government. Taking the people power away is a shameful tactic of voter Suppression. And I will fight any type of voter suppression "right" at the chopping blocks. In fact, this Election Year just might wake me up, and make me fight harder for (People's Change) not principal change.

Koch Industries own elections

The Koch Brothers have been placing money in politics for ever—Charles and David Koch with (Koch Industries) These brothers donated $9.8 million to federal candidates for elections; where 89% of the funds went to republican candidates. They also spent $2.1 million in last years midterm elections, where 93% of the funds, went to Republican Candidates . Where 62 of the 87 new members of the House of Representative, where majority of them were freshman elected leaders—Koch, also helped 12 freshman members of the Senate. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) noted the Koch influence over the Republican Party, saying that “it apparently no longer matters in Congress what health experts and scientists think [on energy]. All that seems to matter is what Koch Industries thinks.” Indeed, one could argue the House Energy and Commerce Committee is really the “Committee from Koch” given its outsized influence. It can be argued, however, that the Republican members of Congress in general are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Koch Industries. The Koch brothers also donated $1.2 million to elect governors last year, including $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. Like new members of Congress, direct Koch donations helped elect or re-elect mostly right-wing governors.

As the tables show, the Koch brothers predominantly support right-wing governors. Since taking office, these governors have been shifting the tax burden from the super rich to the middle class. For instance, not only did Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker wage an intense fight with public-sector unions to take away their collective bargaining rights but he also proposed to raise taxes on seniors and lower-income families while cutting taxes for corporations. Or take Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has proposed cuts to education and nursing homes while at the same time proposing to eliminate the estate tax, a tax that falls only on the superwealthy.



And the governor that took the most moneys in their election during 2010 was Governor Andrew Cuomo. What are some of the policies that Andrew Cuomo has passed that benefit the Koch Brothers: but what is concerning in these elections are the fact that no price is right. When you are on the chopping blocks of an election, and you need campaign ads, to get your points and views across—you are going to need money. And this is why Koch Brothers will always have 80% influence in America elections. Because no matter how good the candidate will be, the factor of having MONEY to promote that candidacy will remain clear until there’s a complete change in the cycles of elections, and campaign financing.

Omar Dyer OP-ED: Court

This has been a challenging moment for Omar Dyer, and after getting his petitions thrown out for the third time. And a move that violated all federal charters, Omar Dyer case was selected to go before the People's Court and Hudson County judicial system refused to allow the case to be moved outside of their jurisdiction because they wanted to protect employees. Corruption or Politics -- Hudson County is known for it!

Blog: Donation for Political Campaigns

Omar Dyer is hosting a fundraiser and it's his first one in his political career. Well his first event on record that he is sponsoring for himself -- in a political run in Jersey City's municipal election. Omar Dyer was a write / type in candidate for New Jersey's governor's race -- after being placed on the ballot in the wrong office with the board of elections. He's a former candidate for New Jersey's 13th district congressional race, where he was challenged off the ballot by Jeff Boss.

Team Fulop

Steven Fulop 2013’s Mayor:

In all press releases, and all morning wakes—the Battle with Mayor Jerramiah Healy and prospect to be Mayor: Steve Fulop, has dealt another mighty blow; to Team Healy. Steve in local elections is changing Jersey City, in an open honest government move. Fulop supported committee candidates of 120 people all looking to set balance the democratic committee. Jersey City holds 360 committee members. Team Fulop set an unprecedented move by single sweeping 60 seats on the committee that holds seats in Jersey City. And among his hardest and biggest defeats where, Mayor Jerramiah Healy’s wife losing her seat on the committee. Also, knocked from the rank and file ranks was Bill Guaghan’s daughter – whom saw her long standing on the committee now gone?

Fulop in a small press conference stated that –“For the first time in many years, and this has never happened before, the Hudson County Democratic Organization was spending money on committee people. They were sending out mailings with committee people’s names on them—they were sending out robot-calls to support committee people. Even state Senator Richard Cody was calling to give support to committee members. And the commitment I (Steven Fulop) am trying to make is a grassroots movement of activist and ordinary people. And our fight has basically taken out a large number of members. Now last year on that committee we had one person, fighting against the others saying—no don’t vote for this person because it’s wrong. This year we will have 100 people in that room making their voices heard. To me that’s pretty impressive.”

It is impressive to have that much influence and take a huge shift in Jersey City politics. And Let me be the first to say: Steve Fulop is the front runner in 2013’s election, and just by popular demand on how he is bringing fire to Mayor Healy in election after election—after election, shows that his team will be very tough. Fulop now has a full team in every part of Jersey City. And is looking to be more of a huge force than he was back in 2009! Fulop this time around has more clots, more people and a better base – he’s not just the councilman of ward E anymore. In 2013, Omar Dyer will be voting for Steven Fulop.

Omar Dyer OP-ED

These are the letters of communication to the local news. Unfortunately, none of the good stories written by Omar Dyer ever make it to the main stream. And yes this is a blog--yet why buy a newspaper when you can get the news directly from the source.

Here's an email sent to the Jersey Journal on Thursday Talking about Crime in Jersey City.

Mayor Healy needs a new crime policy!

After the shooting death of Marine CPT. Anthony Adams during Memorial Day Weekend and Fleet Week in a carjacking—in Ward (F)! The people of Jersey City needs healing, hope and jobs. Crime is hurting the perception of Jersey City, and something needs to be done. I have been a six year resident of this town, and living in Jersey City has been troublesome and tough because of the vigils and the funerals – the friends of family members crying, and asking for support—bleaks the need and urgency to change something.

As a national activist; one that has traveled the country fighting for just for the oppressed. Fighting for the youth of Jersey City has been one of the hardest battles I have ever encountered. And during this six year run, the young adults are getting complacent and use to this level of crime and ignorance—coming from Mayor Healy’s administration. And when teens growing into adults see that life in a crime filtered neighborhood is normal, the city becomes a liability. More-over, when the city is in the negative thinking with lots of crime or perception of crime moving throughout the city – people and business tend to leave. And those that don’t leave tend to segregate from the rest of the town.

Jersey City has a problem and the current policies in place are not built or made to solve this problem. It takes communities and education willing to stand up and solve the problem. And it takes serious recreational programs, of education, sports – extracurricular activities, faith based, and financial healing. Where jobs, education and innovation are created? Mayor Healy has led an administration based on donations, and that’s sad because those who are the biggest donors never stay around to develop the community.

In Jersey City, businesses are being cheated, and developers or developing minds are frustrated with the policies of this administration. Jersey City is being held hostage to self-serving political patronage creeds. And I am being nice with the words; Mayor Healy has laid off 280 people in 2009—just to give Kevin Lyons a $14,000 raise. He will layoff more than 108 municipal workers in order to give Steve Lipski a $65,000 raise from $1, (when noted Lipski was going to get $128,000 from $1) at the end of June!

This administration has turned a 30-year program (UEZ) Urban Enterprise Zone fund, and the Economic Development Center into a political ponzi scheme. Now we tend to lose these services, because political hacks—mismanaged the programs annual budget, to where it’s now $26 million in the tank – as the city of Jersey City only brings in $6 million in grants from federal or state aid. And that’s why our budget is $477 million and in trouble, with a $108 million dollar gap. While Team Healy makes $3 million to make our lives miserable.

P.S.

Omar Dyer's letter to the editor was sent to Jersey Journal, and never published. In fact Omar Dyer over the last 7 years have been sending letters to the editor from Jersey City: whereas, TheFanNJ was a freelance writer for the Newark Starledger, and the Jersey Journal itself. Over the course of weeks we will release all letters of Communications from Omar Dyer to the Jersey Journal and the StarLedger. And we recommend that you read online blogs. Why pay for something when you can read it online for free--if the paid news won't report the good stuff, read an award nominated writer online.

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.

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.

Letter to Governor Mario Cuomo

Public Advocate Omar Dyer is now asking NY's Governor Mario Cuomo to reconsider his (BAN) on what he calls Special Interest Groups, (Elected Leaders) and Public Advocates. Saying, a full out ban isn't the solution—tough legislation is the solution, whereas a full out ban is political discrimination.

Dear Governor Mario Cuomo
From Public Advocate Omar Dyer

I don't see the importance to this legislation (where you are banning lobbyist and public advocates or special interest) -- it really doesn't make sense. You can’t ban the growth of business opportunities because a selected few don't see eye to eye. Banning non-paid public advocates from setting up public firms, and creating innovation; plus participating with government on technology—isn't the approach to winning the future.

Sure pay to play comes abroad but the best way to rule out pay to play— is to force appointed, elected; or lobbyist to fully disclose their intentions, on why they are lobbying or advocating for funds. Like for instance, if a scientist invented the latest creation in solar panels, and government steals that inventor’s idea—who is to pay that inventor. Not the lobbyist, they are banned by political leaders with agendas, not the elected official—they want campaign donations. The only ones that grant patents are government agencies, and the only way to get funding from a government agency is to be an advocate, elected leader, or a registered lobbyist.

So the best way to deal with them is to have them disclose their intentions, and disclose how much they will be paid for helping. You just can't ban something because you disagree with them. We fought the Revolutionary War to allow farmers and inventors, that basic right to sell their information to government. And have government repay them for their indentured service, and this country is no-longer free, labor is a show of life.

A full out ban on these basic services, will make attorney generals, and court appointed lawyers more frustrated with cases that are over whelming because scientist or others couldn’t afford the price tag at the bank. And imagine a scientist going to a bank with an idea, and no basic help. That scientist will be turned away at the door, and his idea maybe stolen. The role of a Governor is to encourage business, scientist and artist to explore and engage in arts. And have their ideas protected by someone who knows the system. Manly a lobbyist or a public advocate, and to ban what you call special interest groups, when federal law requires, a non-profit, business, publicly owned private companies to have a registered lobbyist, or advocate on their staff if they want to sell their products, or engage in commerce; is certainly bad business. And as a public advocate for the people, I will take on a challenge that bans business. I am not afraid of tough rules and regulations, but I am totally against full bans. A ban on something is political discrimination period, and I will fight that no matter who is in charge—where ever these types of discrimination take place.

Fire John "Jack" Kelly

The People would like the Jack Kelly experiment too come to an end. We lobbied in December to save these jobs. When David Donnelly (Incumbent) was running for office in a 2010's special election as Team Healy’s first campaign show-down; whereas we lobbied against his candidacy! Omar Dyer went on a one man protest, shadowing every move made by the councilman.

The Councilman (David Donnelly) professed that he would word hard to stop these types of Lay-offs. And his campaign made serious pledges that these types of actions will not and can’t happen on his watch. Yet, in a meeting at 280 Grove Street Jersey City, NJ 07302; the council and president of Jersey City’s council, made a bold statement “The city is working hard to make ends meet, and because of the snow—we may have to lay off workers.” That was released in the Jersey Journal, yet on record in council chatter, where and which everyone can hear—he stated: “Bill, if anyone can do any better tell them to come forward.”

That was a challenge national / city activist and Hudson County Democratic National Committee Organizer of the state of New Jersey—gladly took. Omar Dyer, lobbied Congress for Emergency Funds, and with the help of New Jersey’s State Senator Mike Sweeny, who place New Jersey in a state of emergency; helped the public advocate to educate congress on the increasing problems happening in New Jersey. And through the Roads, and Hazard conditions, plus with FEMA—New Jersey was awarded $20 million—whereas Jersey City NJ, was given $1.3 million. And the emphasis was to save current jobs, and on hiring new employees. Jersey City failed to bring in New Employment, and nobody can explain where the $1.3 million went, or how it was spent.

Come this June 2011, Jersey City wills lay-off those workers, in a 108 massive employee lay-off, in order to save $6 million dollars. Yet, what Jack Kelly isn’t telling you is the underlining notion, that Jack Kelly submitted a budget to the council worth $447 million dollars. Thus losing with a wipe of the pen of an $80 million dollar budget gap—which includes obligated spending! Spending that the city has to pay for but can’t find sources or doesn’t want to raise taxes on municipal increases to justify means to pay for them! And how does Jack Kelly monitor the spending decreases or cut to the budget – which is (Don’t Include them, even though the spending is there), so he can say: “Jersey City cut the budget, when in reality—it didn’t.”

Omar Dyer is calling for Jersey City to step up to the plate, and fire Jack Kelly. Omar Dyer if needed will organize a Petition Drive to Fire Jack Kelly. And to replace Jack Kelly with a system wide search with in Jersey City. And have a candidate that the city respects run the business affairs of the city. One who will find ways to save jobs, not send people to the county welfare office, or welfare office completely?

Omar Dyer is also, asking and sending request to Jersey City’s Council which is lead by Council President Peter Brennan, Council Representative Bill Gaughan, Council Representative Nidia Lopez, newly appointed Council Representative Kalimah Ahmad, Council Representative David Donnelly, Council Representative Viola Richardson, Council representative Ray Velazquez, Council Representative Steve Fulop, Council Representative Michael Sottolano: “To attend or make un-announced stops to the social services departments in Hudson County, like the County Welfare, and regular welfare offices, and see how many people are currently and now on those programs—who normally wouldn’t be there if the city provided better resources for job creation, and public employment.

Omar Dyer released a statement to Coaches! 101’s blog: “Jersey City’s Jack Kelly has played make shift games with the city budget at the expense of city residents. And his political games, of decreasing a budget at the expense of the people—don’t work in a city with this large of a population. Instead of crashing jobs, to make it seem like the city is saving money; the role of the business director is to promote private expansion. Not lay people off send them to social services, with no plan of re-entry, is bad management. And to place a $5 million dollar estuary account—where the council doesn’t control, but have to approve; so Jack Kelly can spend it in anyway he can—without anyone monitoring him, is a slap in the face to the 108 people he plans to lay-off.”

Coaches! 101’s Political Action Committee would like to see Jack Kelly removed from his post. This was a temporary post, until the city found someone with in the city that was interested in the job. Omar Dyer has already submitted his application to be on Mayor Jerramiah Healy’s advisory board – whereas Mayor Jerramiah Healy has stated, he wanted to speak to Mr. Omar Dyer on this action, and wanted Omar Dyer to prove he can handle the enforcement. Omar Dyer during those times, has proven he can handle the cities massive budgets, and will do it with the best interest of the people. Coaches! 101 is now placing on notice that we plan to draft and file a petition to remove Jack Kelly – or call for Mayor Jerramiah Healy to fire Jack Kelly. And under state laws, this is a citizen’s action, not a recall – so the required numbers to file for this petition will be 100. And since Jack Kelly didn’t run in an election, our organization can file a 100 petition from the people within the city on issues about firing Jack Kelly. Coaches! 101 will send a letter of notice, with a proclamation asking the City of Jersey City to respect this organization’s wishes – plus allow our principal program to conduct the survey. And then will in three months time, file the petition (none election) on the city removing Jack Kelly from office.

Congressional Tax Cheats 2011

While the Congress debates on what to do with helping the poor -- the members in congress, have one thing on their hands. A lot of them are about helping themselves -- in an era where people have lost their homes, and are losing that right to own a condo. Becaue of serious budget cut -- why are 13 house republicans voting on an amendment that would end the same things they take full advantage of.

As Americans file their taxes in advance of Tax Day, at least 17 House Republicans have current or past tax problems, public records and news reports show. While Republicans lecture Americans about fiscal responsibility, reducing the deficit, and balancing the budget, some of these same House Republicans have failed to fulfill their personal responsibility: paying their taxes. The current and past tax problems of at least 17 House Republicans are an eye-opening demonstration of their hypocrisy. If House Republicans want to be taken seriously about their commitment to fiscal responsibility and balancing the budget, they should start by practicing what they preach.

REPORT: REPUBLICANS WITH TAX PROBLEMS

AL-03: Mike Rogers: Under a special program, District of Columbia taxpayers who own a home in the city and use it as their principal residence receive a $67,500 reduction on the assessed value of their home. In 2009, this deduction would have saved the eligible taxpayer at least $573.75. The program additionally caps the increase of future home assessments, potentially reaping larger savings to the taxpayer over time. In 2009, Roll Call reported that Rogers—who represents Alabama in Congress—improperly received this tax benefit. That year, Rogers’ home was assessed at $747,000, with a taxable value of $680,000.

Although the buyer of a property is required to declare if they are eligible for the exemption, and regularly receive notices about the savings they earn under the deduction, a spokesperson for the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue claimed that Rogers was receiving the benefit in error and had not applied for it. Roll Call’s examination of sales documents, however, reveal that the Congressman filed contradictory information about his intention to receive the deduction. At the time of the report, D.C.’s Real Property Tax Administration claimed the lawmaker would receive a bill for the back taxes. [Roll Call, 3/25/09]

AZ-01: Paul Gosar: From tax year 1999 to 2009, Gosar paid his property taxes late twelve times and incurred a total of $2,928.06 in interest on his delinquent tax payments.

FL-02: Steve Southerland: Steve Southerland was delinquent on his business’s property taxes in '05, '06, '07, '08 and '09. He was forced to pay roughly $2560.00 in late penalties. [McClatchy, 10/11/10, available at: Walton Sun, 10/10/10]

GA-11: Phil Gingrey: Under a special program, District of Columbia taxpayers who own a home in the city and use it as their principal residence receive a $67,500 reduction on the assessed value of their home. In 2009, this deduction would have saved the eligible taxpayer at least $573.75. The program additionally caps the increase of future home assessments, potentially reaping larger savings to the taxpayer over time. In 2009, Roll Call reported that Gingrey—who represents Georgia in Congress—may have improperly received this tax benefit. That year, Gingrey’s house was valued at about $705,000, with a taxable value of $637,000.

In the District, the buyer of a property is required to declare if they are eligible for the exemption. According to Roll Call, “District records show Gingrey’s wife, Billie Gingrey, as the sole purchaser of a three-bedroom row house in 2004.” Gingrey’s spokesman, however, claimed the Congressman may have inadvertently applied for the deduction. The Roll Call article noted that while it is possible for a spouse of a Member of Congress to legally receive this tax benefit, the owner regularly receive notices about the savings they earn under the deduction. [Roll Call, 3/25/09]

IA-05: Steve King: Under a special program, District of Columbia taxpayers who own a home in the city and use it as their principal residence receive a $67,500 reduction on the assessed value of their home. In 2009, this deduction would have saved the eligible taxpayer at least $573.75. The program additionally caps the increase of future home assessments, potentially reaping larger savings to the taxpayer over time. In 2009, Roll Call reported that King—who represents Iowa in Congress—improperly received this tax benefit. That year, King’s home was valued at $388,000, with a taxable value of $308,000.

Although buyers of a property are required to declare if they are eligible for the exemption, and regularly receive notices about the savings they earn under the deduction, King claimed that “the D.C. tax department made a mistake,” a situation that the D.C. Real Property Tax Administration Director Richie McKeithen said could have been a possibility. [Roll Call, 3/25/09]

IL-08: Joe Walsh: According to the Chicago Daily Herald, “Starting in 1992, Walsh was handed several liens for failing to pay state and federal income taxes, together totaling nearly $25,000, according to records from the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.

In June 1994, Walsh was handed a lien for failing to pay $21,566 in federal income taxes, some going as far back as 1985. Six months later, the state placed another lien for Walsh's failure to pay $778 in state income taxes. He eventually paid them off and the last lien cleared in 2001. […] Walsh called the $2,239 and $778 tax liens ‘miscalculations’ on taxes, as far as he and his ex-wife, Laura, can tell. The $21,556 lien, the one that, as Walsh says, ‘jumps out at people,’ comes from failing to pay taxes on an education trust fund set up by his grandfather to pay for his education at Grinnell College and later the University of Iowa in the 1980s. The fifth of nine children, Walsh said his grandfather had set up similar funds for his eight siblings, but said he was the first to ‘get dinged by the IRS […] I had no idea that (money) was taxable,’ he said.” [Chicago Daily Herald, 10/19/10]
