Our reporters are finishing up some major stories for this weekend that haven't been reported anywhere else!

Here are the scoops, which will be posted here in full on Sunday. Feel free to comment below each one.

-In Jersey City, Councilman Steve Lipski finally talks at length about the night he was arrested in Washington, D.C., saying he doesn't remember urinating off a balcony, but a friend told him he did it.

-In Hoboken, two former city officials appear to have improperly gotten extra city benefits costing the taxpayers thousands of dollars per year. We pressed to find out why.

-In north Hudson, some local people are appalled that the woman who helped put former Guttenberg Mayor David Delle Donna away is not getting any jail time herself!

There's certainly much more. And let's not forget all of the provocative letters in each of our nine newspapers. Click "home" at the left of this page. And feel free to e-mail us at editorial@hudsonreporter.com to give us suggestions and news tips.

I always use editorial@hudsonreporter.com

Maybe you can give those no name insulters at 411 a run for their money. Last one called me an intellectually challenged old bag! ( I have written four books and had them published)...

Don't like the insults and name calling!

I just got my copy of the Reporter and I have to tell you that your "scoop" on the health benefits is eye opening. You have to read the whole article to get the full gist of it. It shows the merits of still having a print media that can push for information for months and months and contact people even if it takes a while to get the information and you meet with obstacles at first (as it seems to make clear)...it takes more to investigate the news around here than just sitting back and getting tips from readers, you have to question your officials and request documents again and again until you have some answers. And then keep asking.

That's something a daily blog that feeds on rumors can't necessary do, although certainly they are doing their own good job in exposing problems in the city, and clearly we need both print and the internet around here.... I have a feeling thanks to your investigative story we will hear more about this, thanks for the effort!
