"Opens up"

> “The essence of the call I don’t remember — what made him or me, I don’t know what happened — pick up the phone,” Guy said. “My whole interaction with that case was probably less than 20 seconds. Let’s go on the long end: 30 seconds. So, 30 seconds could change a person’s life.”

Yeah, real open there Guy.

Actually, my favorite part of the article was that he still owns a house with his wife down the shore, but claims residence in an apartment with a roommate in JC. Sure. Someone needs to surveill that place and see how many nights he spends there.

Too many of our public servants are not part of our community, and just view Jersey City as a tit to suck on. This supposed residency thing is a recurring theme, Michael Yun supposedly slept in his Central avenue apartment while owning a house in the suburbs with his wife. These stories go on and on.

My favorite part is where it could not be any more obvious they don't give a fuck and think they're untouchable.

He didn't even bother to rent a studio to make it a little more believable.

This scheme isn't worth an extra 7k to make it more believable

Yes, teachers should be forced to reside in Jersey City as well.

The horror!

Ha what kind of home can a JC teacher afford to buy in JC? 😂

I know right. Teachers’ salaries are so expensive they drive up property taxes. Someone should do something about that

This asshole is seriously the best Hudson County can do? What a joke.

Hm “gosh I can’t remember why a drug kingpin called me and knew it was my birthday, who knows what that was about lol”

Give me a break, dude. Maybe we can elect people who aren’t like this for once?
I’d wager that this fella: does not actually live in Jersey City, was involved in greasy corrupt cop shit in the 80s, is not paying a fair tax rate on his property here, and has more than one government job.

The Hudson County Democrats need a wake up call with this next election, and more of us need to vote and run for office.

There's plenty of homes in JC comparable to what they be spending in the suburbs.

What if those teachers have children? Isn't that a conflict of interest? Teacher your own children? Your nieces and nephews? Favoritism?

They don't want their kids to have to be educated in Jersey City's schools.

and he will groom another grifting asshole to spend 30 years waiting for this job while moving out to Monmouth County too. insane how we can't loosen this grip of corruption

We already have bozo the clown teaching our kids. Have you seen how terrible our kids do? We need teachers who are invested in the community and not just a paycheck.

On a teacher’s salary? Yeah, ok.

Yes. There's a whole of of JC that's not Downtown, where a 2br can be had for under $2500. Do you really think they can live for less than that in the suburbs? The median JC teacher makes $95k.

If Phil Swibinski is giving quotes for an article, you know the politician is scummy

ooo this is pretty good.

JC teachers make 95k?! What kind of crazy report do you read? They start at 45-50k.

You cannot BUY a home in JC making that kind of money. Maybe a studio if you plan on never having a family.

Yes, my number is correct, but so is yours. The union set this up to reward seniority at the expense of new hires, then use the newcomers low income numbers as a cudgel to complain about how poorly paid they are!

Go to the State education website, they have income statistics on every public employee. You can actually burrow down and do the same calculation I did to see the median income. And I excluded admin.
