HOBOKEN – Hoboken Council President Beth Mason has notified the City Clerk’s office that a special council meeting will take place on Monday, June 13, at 7:30 p.m. so that the City Council can “receive further briefing from the Corporation Counsel’s Office” regarding the recent FBI investigation in City Hall, according to a letter from Mason to the clerk’s office dated June 8.

The meeting is expected to enter closed session, according to Mason.

Mason said in her letter to the clerk’s office that the council may address two resolutions, depending on the result of the closed session.

One resolution would be to “command the appearance of officials or employees of the City...to fully advise the City Council about the aforementioned matter” and another would be to adopt a resolution “directing that ‘Rice Notices’ be issued to certain employees of the city of Hoboken.”

Rice Notices tell employees that their personnel matters are about to be discussed and offer them the right to request a public hearing.

No other matters will be heard at the Monday night meeting. -- Ray Smith

Ignoring the delusions of one political operative, let's focus on the latest news.

The Mayor and FBI have issued a response to Beth Mason's meeting request. The FBI will not hand over information in an ongoing criminal investigation.

Why are Zimmer supporters so fearful of Ms. Mason? Ms. Mason is a gift for Hoboken residents. She is their biggest advocate and has done more to lookout for the Hoboken Democrats than Mayor Zimmer. Mayor Zimmer labels herself a Christie Republican, but doesn't follow him when it come to slashing spending. She reluctantly cut her salary only after pressure by Ms. Mason and other council members. Mayor Zimmer is having a identity crisis, is she a Republican, Reformer or a quick learn in the land of politics? At least we all know that Ms. Mason is a true Democrat and a relentless leader for ALL of Hoboken. Thanks Beth!!!

one final, sad, desperate attempt by hoboken's all-time worst and least-effective council president to spread some more hate and slime before being dethroned. beth, are you familiar with the concept of karma?
