- “The mayor is correct when he says this columnist is biased,” Agustin Torres writes in today’s Journal. “I am.” He points to literature from Healy’s earlier campaigns as proof that the mayor has failed to do what he said he’d do. As we reported yesterday, the mayor has declined a second forum that Torres [...]

Meanwhile, on Thursday two ward-specific forums are scheduled. At 6 pm, the MLK Drive Merchants Association hosts a forum for Ward F council candidates [...]
On April 2, the Heights Coalition hosted a forum with all five candidates for mayor. They answered six specific questions, on open space/parks, zoning/construction code enforcement, taxes/abatements, mass transit, education and crime. We have all but the crime answers on video here (there were technical difficulties during that portion of the evening). Enjoy. Big thanks [...]

At last night’s mayoral forum put on by the Heights Coalition, a group comprising ten neighborhood and local associations, the five candidates for mayor appeared on the same stage for the first time this campaign season. In answering the six questions posed to them, the candidates sounded some differences in policy and in approach to [...]
Maybe it would have been more interesting if Mayor Healy had been there. But he skipped this debate — the first of election season and likely the only one that will be televised — citing moderator bias and lack of audience. The other four mayoral candidates were all present: One Jersey City’s Dan Levin; Lou [...]
