People don't care.
Hell, most of us have probably fantasized about running over those asshole cyclists that blow off red lights and stop signs

What can I say? I like her hardcore tough-on-cyclists policies.

Wonder if this was the guy who tried to run me off the road on Congress this AM when I was 1.5 car lengths behind the guy in front of me

Thank you for your support of my violent streets platform!
To appease my naysayers, I'll soon be introducing an ordinance that will allow for pedestrians to bludgeon drivers of cars parked in crosswalks.

Good for you guys for keeping the momentum going, but the lackluster response to these posts makes me think she'll get away with it.

To me this is key; this isn't one very bad mistake, this seems to be a political 'I can do what I want' sleaze situation.

The fact its not a joke , or reference and she is literally caught on video saying exactly that....can you imagine how often that actually worked?
Or how many people she has gotten fired for not doing thing her way because of it.

Honestly, while that sounds like a good policy, I don't think it's going to be very effective. The driver is not usually with the car.
Perhaps we could just light the car on fire?

but if she resigns from politics now, it's going to look really weird when Craig Guy hands her the county executive position in a few years.

Can Fulop actually do anything to remediate? Does he have the power to remove members of the Council?
lucke0204 OP t1_j7qg2ue wrote
To answer your direct question: no, the mayor has no authority to remove members from City Council.
But it's a bit more complicated than that:
A recall effort is practically impossible even with unlimited money and resources because of the staggering amount of signatures required to remove a city-wide elected official. Amy is clearly not going to have a sudden change of heart and resign unless there is sufficient political pressure to do so.
So far, only 2/8 of the other city council members have called for DeGise's resignation. The other 6 all ran on Fulop's ticket in 2021. They would likely follow his lead if he were to do the right thing, but he needs the blessing of the Hudson County political machine (which DeGise and her father are very influential in) to run for NJ governor in 2025.
Fulop is hoping that this story will fizzle out by that time and nobody will associate him with it. He wants to keep the support of Hudson County Dems, but stay free of the stench of the hit and run story as he eyes statewide office.

What did Degise do? I've been living in PA for 2 years and moving back to JC so been out of the loop.
NVM googled it. She hit and ran one of her own constituents.
