He and his very good friends are missed. Media Blackout: City administration trying to hide ugly truth The Zimmer Administration recently invoked a “media blackout” – in other words, no longer sharing the crime reports with credentialed media outlets like Hoboken411. At the very least, there is a tremendous amount of filtering that is taking place downtown. Additionally, city employees were threatened with disciplinary action (including loss of job) if they speak to members of the free press. It’s likely their belief that by hiding the real crime rate in Hoboken (keeping everyone in the dark), that the city will continue being a popular destination, property values will remain stable – and their master plan to reduce the police force had no negative impacts. As you can see – with the almost immediate up-tick in violent crimes, as well as the most out of control Hoboken St. Patrick’s Parade ever (including rapes), this plan isn’t going so smoothly.
