Remember to Vote Republican
Polls close at 8:00 tonight. (If you're not sure where to vote, click here to find out.) Since we don't have a candidate on the ballot for county freeholder, please "write in" our friend John Forsman. And finally, make sure to vote no on Question #2. Let's hope common sense prevails tonight!

Hoboken landlord Fritz Haas describes how a rent-controlled tenant and his lawyer shook him down for more than $100,000. Amendments to our city's rent control ordinance—which the council passed unanimously earlier this year—would limit this kind of abuse. And now radical tenant activists want to repeal these modest reforms. On November 8, please vote 'NO' on Question #2. For more information, visit our friends at www.hobokenmsta.org.

Today marks 10 years since the horrific 9/11 attacks on the United States. Our nation still mourns the 2,819 victims who perished on that day—including the 53 souls from our Mile Square City.And we salute America's men and women in uniform—whose sacrifices have prevented further attacks and made the world a safer place.
Over 100,000 U.S. troops remain deployed in the war zones of the Middle East. And so on this Patriot Day, our friends in the HCRC are sending "thank you" notes, snacks and care items to U.S. troops stationed overseas. If you'd like to help out, drop in anytime from 12 to 4 PM at 102 Grand Street in Jersey City. Or if you'd like to make a small donation, you can do so here.

Even if the storm weakens, we may nonetheless see widespread and severe flooding—as deep as five feet in some places. Hurricane or no hurricane, this city floods quite easily.
For those hunkering down in your apartments, you can find sound advice from the city and the feds posted online. And as BigGovernment's Michelle Lancaster reminds us, you should have a way to fight boredom (without Internet, TV or DVD's). She recommends old-fashioned diversions for the kids—and whiskey for adults.
Stay dry, be safe and have fun!

Council to Vote Tonight
Mayor Dawn Zimmer, in a letter dated yesterday, revealed her administration's intent to locally fund Hoboken Family Planning. Never heard of them? Think: Planned Parenthood.
Like Planned Parenthood, Hoboken Family Planning is a Title X entity that was recently defunded by Gov. Christie. Now Mayor Zimmer wants to step in with local taxpayer dollars. Pro-life activists across the state have taken notice of Zimmer's proposal, fearing that other pro-choice mayors will follow suit.
Today, New Jersey Right to Life roundly denounced this proposed use of local taxpayer money. And they are right to do so, for it would compel our city's pro-lifers and social conservatives to pay for activities they consider immoral.
It seems to us, however, that even pro-choicers might consider this a needless expenditure of municipal resources—particularly in the face of persistently high local taxes. Whether for moral or fiscal reasons, the council should vote down this spending request.
