Jersey City deputy mayor arrested

It’s a rough day on Grove Street.

The Jersey Journal reports that Jersey City Deputy Mayor Kabili Tayari was arrested yesterday for driving a rental car that was reported stolen.

Tayari, who was charged under his original name, Randy Brown, had reportedly failed to return a car he had rented from an agency at Newark Airport.

“This is purely a civil matter where clearly there was no intent to take the rented vehicle beyond the contracted time limit. We believe this issue will be resolved amicably between both parties,” said Healy spokesman Stan H. Eason.

PAR FOR THE COURSE


Healy's administration is a never-ending train wreck. As always, I will point out the scandalous fact that Hudson County's GOP chairman, Jose Arango, works for Democrat Mayor Healy (who also serves as boss of the Hudson County Dems). And people wonder why things never change... The Hudson Dems have paid off the opposition!

Is this Corzine redux?


When Gov. Corzine borrows money for state of NJ and forgets to pay it back incurring more debts for us to pay?

This is a case


for Judge Joe Brown. I'd love to see him do his "be a man and take responsibility" speech on Tayari as a politician.
