City Power Chic Backs New Mayor-In
Newark

By Greg Sargent

“On the morning of Feb. 12, about 40 Manhattan lawyers, investment bankers and money managers buzzed with anticipation as they gathered in a conference room on the 37th floor of the Conde’ Nast Building. These powerful and well-connected New Yorkers were there to here an unlikely guest speaker: a young City Councilman from Newark, NJ who gained national notice several years ago when he spent 10 days camped in a tent in one of Newark’s most violent housing projects-and lived to tell the tell.”

“Mr. Booker, an earnest 32 –year-old with a golden resume, is challenging incumbent Newark Mayor Sharpe James’ attempt to win a fifth term in May, and his campaign has become a cause celebre among Manhattan’s business and social elite.”

“he was a tight end at Stanford University and a Rhode Scholar-have won him the attention of the wealthy Manhattanites whose knowledge of Newark has until now consisted of what they glimpsed through the tinted windows of town cars speeding towards Newark International Airport.”

Booker “Unlike so many politicians I know in New Jersey, the people who are supporting me are doing it because they believe in me and they want what’s best for Newark. It’s love money.”

“Mr. Booker entertained them with tales from the streets of his district-Newark’s central ward”

“When you see top law firms line up like this, they’re not doing it because the candidate is the answer to the United Way,” said one top Democratic fund-raiser in New York City. It’s a business investment-the city of Newark has enormous need for counsel and for developers.”

Nothing about creating jobs, fighting crime, improving education OR HOUSING. I repeat.....INVESTORS AND LAWYERS:mad:

[LastCubanStanding]

Try again.

BTW, given your father's reputation concerning his dealings with "investors" (can you say Rosa), perhaps you should stay away from this subject.

BTW #2..How do you think JOBS are created? Not everyone works for the government like your family does. INVESTORS create JOBS. They bring their businesses to Newark and employee Newarkers (except the "jobs" your father has created.) They need to feel comfortable about their investment, and the guy leading the City.

BTW #3 The guy is a lawyer. And a partner in a business. That's why he meets with lawyers. I'm sure Sharpe meets with other gym teachers?

[Doofus1]

IIRC, Sharpe didn't have a problem showing up at my law firm asking for money from lawyers. He even promised that the Amtrak bridge over the Passaic was going to be painted (why, I don't know, since he can't make Amtrak do it). He took the money. And the bridge has never been painted.

[LastCubanStanding]

Nice retort, counselor.

You lawyers are better at this than us engineers.

[newarkcentral]

I think you are missing the point of the article. Golden Boy Wonder has been trying to pass himself off as a REFORMER. You seem to be defending his CLONE like behavior of Sharpe as OK. If Sharpe does this, then Golden Boy Wonder can. Both are despicable in this regard. Trying to defend Golden Boy Wonder by comparing him to what you allege Sharpe has done is not an acceptable response. Point out the difference between the two as to why Golden Boy Wonder is a better choice.:cool:

What's the point of this thread? As a reformer, he should shun contact with folks that might invest in the City and make real jobs? I'm lost. I'm not sure what is dispicable.

[newarkcentral]

What is the difference between the two? If Sharpe is so bad and Golden Boy Wonder does the same things then that makes him bad too.

[Poet]

The point is that he IS NOT a reformer. Booker IS NOT a public servant. Booker is a politician just like the man that he is trying to replace. So to say you will support Booker because he will change City Hall and be for the people is just plain fooling yourself. It will be politics as usual only now a new batch of characters to whom he will sell our City.

[LastCubanStanding]

It is you who has missed the point. Sharpe is mayor for his personal gain. he shakes down local business people and gets low-interest loans for his business properties and his beach house.

Booker wants to be Mayor to help Newark and its people.

Here's the main difference. Sharpe is a gym teacher. The only way he saw to get rich was to become a politician and fleece his constituency.

Booker is a ivy-league attorney. He can have a much more lucrative career outside of politics, but he is choosing public service.

I know that it is difficult for some of us to fathom a politician not out for personal gain, especially after the reign of Sharpe.

You have got to be kidding yourself if you think that Bookers career in politics will be less lucrative than anything else he could be doing. He is a lawyer who does not practice an ounce of law because he is no good at it. Politics has greased his wheels to fame and national prominence so please dont act like he could be better spending his time.

If Booker wants to be Mayor "to help Newark and its people" than WHERE HAS HE BEEN FOR THE LAST FOR YEARS?? He did not speak up on issues that affected "its peope" he did not fight for "its people" he didnt even show back up in our neighborhoods unless it was to hand out some damn turkeys and set himself up for photo opportunities to send to the paper or put on his lame website. AGAIN PLEASE DONT FOOL YOURSELF. Booker is a politician like all the rest. PLEASE dont act like he is a man of the people.

[Klap Bak]

BTW, given your father's reputation concerning his dealings with "investors" (can you say Rosa), perhaps you should stay away from this subject.

Let’s not forget Fat cats like LUSTBADER & THE FAT ALPERTS where would Newark ever be without them?????….. but Cuban are you talking about the up front donations or the back room ones …. you know Sharpe 10k / Jax 10k….


BTW #2..How do you think JOBS are created? Not everyone works for the government like your family does. INVESTORS create JOBS. They bring their businesses to Newark and employee Newarkers (except the "jobs" your father has created.) They need to feel comfortable about their investment, and the guy leading the City.

Give them tax breaks; let homeowners cover for them for years. Do not hold them accountable to their promise to hire a certain percentage of Newark residents. That is Sharpe’s idea of sound business dealings, that is how he creates jobs.
BTW Grasshopper, the City has already spent Millions in the demolition and removal process down there. I drive by every day and I specifically look for some BROTHERS AND SISTERS there, I have not see any so far. HOW MUCH OF MY TAX PAYER MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT BEFORE SOME BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAN GET SOME WORK DOWN THERE???????

BTW #3 The guy is a lawyer. And a partner in a business. That's why he meets with lawyers. I'm sure Sharpe meets with other gym teachers?

Cuban, please let Doofus know that Sharpe did have discussions with other gym-teachers :eek: and instead of paint they are doing FESTIVE (JOYFUL/GAY) LIGHTS over the bridges.

Thank God we don’t have tunnels to deal with, they would probably smear chocolate along the walls throughout for that nostalgic effect.

If Booker was a reformer he would support the reformers and not the people who have been in office supporting the current Mayor.

Booker is starting to show his true colors and I think people are starting to realize who he truly is.

He still has my vote but I am starting to think twice about him.

[Maximus]

Gym Teacher?

Sanitation Technician?

Fast Food Manager?

Inmate?

Sharpe has no where to go after politics. I'll take it further than that: he has nowhere to go after NEWARK politics, and he knows it.

[Doofus1]

Brick, I can understand your distrust of all politicians. But I look at it this way, who is likely to be more accountable to the voters--68 year old incumbent serving for 20 years or the newly elected 40-year old with ambition?

I am saying Booker aint no choir boy or "golden boy" so stop making him out to be.

2006 Newark Election Slogan:
PICK YOUR POISON!

[LastCubanStanding]

Right now a 40 year old with ambition, but this may change as the true colors start breaking through...

So you are saying pick somebody you KNOW is a crook instead of somebody that MIGHT hold some promise. That's sad.

[Klap Bak]

Sharpe is a proponent of the TWO JOB, TWO PAY SYSTEM ………..


159


Qualifications:
100 + MURDERS IN 2005
Our good brother Talib Aziz can attest to both sides.
(Sharpe’s weapon of choice in his case LUSTBADER)

[bricklayer]

So you are saying pick somebody you KNOW is a crook instead of somebody that MIGHT hold some promise. That's sad.

I am not sure James is a crook and I am not sure Booker holds promise.

[LastCubanStanding]

I am not sure James is a crook and I am not sure Booker holds promise.

I am sure that Sharpe has been ineffective for the past 20 years, and many Newark residents are in agreement.

[bricklayer]

I am sure that Sharpe has been ineffective for the past 20 years, and many Newark residents are in agreement.


I'm just worried since Booker has other intentions, is he going to create quick fixes which will snowball into disasters when he leaves?

He may look good in the short term, but kill us in the long term.

How many terms does he plan on serving?

[Poet]

Klap I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

Sharpe has not been ineffective for the last 20 years. I would say Sharpe has been ineffective for the last 6 to 8 years. Booker was ineffective for the last 6-8 years as well in terms of serving the residents of Newark. He shows no signs that things would change with him at the helm. His fraternizing with the likes of his "base" (including the pro-choice "clan") frighten the bejesus out of me. He has had nothing to support the fact that he works for the best of the people. He did not show it in his service on the Council. He did not show it in his "nonprofit" he does not show it in any other way I can see. He has education but no experience that would indicate to me that he can shrewdly operate a City with a budget the size of Newark. What he did show me was that he cannot operate an entity with only a 3 million dollar budget (his campaign). Would Cory Booker be qualified to run a fortune 500 company? No. Would he be qualified to run Prudential or PSEG? No. He is smart as all getout but he has no experience. Look at his resume. He was a law student working at a legal clinic, he did the council ineffectively for 4 years (most of which was used campaigning) he was put at the top of the letterhead of a Jewish law firm and has not yet taken a case. I have been to his Newark Office. It is an empty shell of a place that I guess is there to give him a presence. I also know people in our community that have gone to him for legal advice and they have all been farmed off to other lawyers at other offices or other firms. His inexperience invites opportunity for people who do not have our best interests at heart to take advantage of his naivety.

Someone. Please tell me how I am wrong so that I too can be as comfortable with voting out the devil we know as you all apparently are. Right now I just see a young man with a golden smile trying to sell us some magic beans.

[LastCubanStanding]

Klap I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

Sharpe has not been ineffective for the last 20 years. I would say Sharpe has been ineffective for the last 6 to 8 years.


Let's give him another four?

[Poet]

Let's give him another four?


Again. James is the devil I know. And if I do not give James another chance how do I justify giving Booker another chance? He did nothing for the Central in the time he was there. Charlie Bell is making him look like a fool in comparison. How about giving me a full response and not piecemeal? I really would love to here your thoughts on his resume.

[LastCubanStanding]

I would say he at least tried to make a difference. Here's a nice homework assignment for you. Look up the legislation he proposed, and see how it was shot down by his council mates. It will surprise you.

Look, you have to go with your gut. I'm not here to convince you either way, just asking you tao give Booker a fair chance by cutting out the rhetoric and looking up the facts.

[Maximus]

Cory A. Booker, 36, is currently a partner in the Newark, New Jersey law firm of Booker, Rabinowitz, et al. and is also the President of Newark Now, a grassroots nonprofit group, a senior fellow at Rutgers University School of Public Policy and Planning, an honorary Public Interest Fellow of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, a 2003 Henry Crown Fellow, and a Visiting Associate at the Eagleton Institute of Politics.
In 1997, Cory rose to prominence by upsetting a four-term incumbent to become Newark's Central Ward Councilman. During his four years of service, Cory earned a reputation as a leader with innovative ideas and bold actions, from increasing security in public housing to building new playgrounds. For this work, he was recognized by TIME Magazine as the "The Savior of Newark". In 1997, he served as a Staff Attorney for the Urban Justice Center in New York, and Program Coordinator of the Newark Youth Project. In December 2002, ESQUIRE Magazine named him one of the country's "40 Best and Brightest".
Cory is a member of several boards including the Executive Committee of Yale Law School; Columbia University Teachers' College Board of Trustees; the Black Alliance for Educational Options, North Star Academy, Integrity Inc. and the International Longevity Center. He received a B.A. in political science in 1991 and an M.A. in sociology in 1992 from Stanford University. He then went to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and received an honors degree in modern history in 1994. In 1997 he earned his law degree from Yale University.

That's an interesting take. So, if it was McCarter & English he worked for and not Rabinowitz Trenk, would that make a difference? Also, I have clients call me and ask me things that I have no experience in. Rather than handling it myself, I farm it out to my partners or my associates who have that experience. Does that make me a bad lawyer? I think it makes me a good one as I avoid committing malpractice and keep a client satisfied.

I know Cory's firm well. It is a real law firm with real lawyers. Haven't heard anyone say that they aren't getting good service from them, so it sounds like it's working for everyone.

[LastCubanStanding]

I knew ignorance would seep into this thread eventually.

I 'll let Mary Ellen Tully know she is Jewish the next time I see her at Sorrows.

[Doofus1]

LOL, Cuban.

Though this is besides the point and will probably end up dominating the discussion as a tactic of diversion--I never said that his firm was not a good firm. If you tell me that that firm is not a prominent Jewish law firm then you are fooling yourself. I did not state that derogatorily but factually. Jewish firms can hire non-jewish lawyers. That does not take them away from the community that they connect with which is the jewish community.

I could start talking about his firm right now and tell alll about how they almost shut down one of the cities most well known small businesses because of overwhelming legal fees but this is not about the firm right now it is about booker's qualifications to run the city. but that is not the point of this right now.

This is about booker. I said that Booker was not a good lawyer. I say this based on the fact that the only law that he has practiced is public interest law (check the bio posted by Maximus) which he farms out to other firms and attorneys and handles none of himself.

For those who know booker--what type of law does he specialize in? Can anyone answer that? Is it public interest? If it is why does he refer all of his public interest cases to other lawyers? What types of cases does he actually work on?

As for his "resume" let us take time to trim off the fat--

a partner in the Newark, New Jersey law firm of Booker, Rabinowitz, et al.--We have covered that already and this firm is not a Newark firm it is a West Orange firm with a shell of an office in Newark that hosts no legal practices.

the President of Newark Now--Booker does not play a role in running this "organization" I hear he does not even contribute to finding funds to keep it alive.

a senior fellow at Rutgers University School of Public Policy and Planning and a Visiting Associate at the Eagleton Institute of Politics--I was a fellow at eagleton the same time Mr booker was a fellow and all that means is that he came in to speak at panel discussions. No meat involved.

an honorary Public Interest Fellow--selfexplanatory.

During his four years of service, Cory earned a reputation as a leader with innovative ideas and bold actions, from increasing security in public housing to building new playgrounds.

You have got to be kidding me.

the "The Savior of Newark"--Hell of a thing to put on a resume especially with nothing to show for it.

In 1997, he served as a Staff Attorney for the Urban Justice Center in New York, and Program Coordinator of the Newark Youth Project.--Ok. He has this one year of very important experience.

The rest is theorical knowledge in academia.

So again I ask,
is he qualified to run our city?

[newarkcentral]

Just a bit more to add on the Golden Boy Wonder resume or as BlackCommentator.com put it “The media campaign to impose Cory Booker, rich white people’s favorite Black politician, on Black America.”

“a cynical pretender who attempts to position himself as the common people’s defender while locked in the deep embrace of institutes and foundations that bankroll virtually every assault on social and economic justice in America”

“The far rightwing Free Congress Foundation praised Booker as one of four New Black Leaders – along with three Black Republicans”

“Booker methodically developed his Republican and corporate Right connections, teaming up with wealthy white Republican businessman Peter Denton and former GOP Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler to form the school vouchers advocacy outfit Excellent Education for Everyone (E-3), which is lavishly funded by the Walton family, the reactionary heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune.”

“Booker journeyed to Milwaukee for the founding of the Black Alliance for Education Options (BAEO), a pro-voucher group that was a joint venture of the Walton’s and the Bradley Foundation, both of which contributed a million dollars. The Bradley Foundation also provided about a million dollars to support the work of Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve, which alleges that Blacks are intellectually inferior to whites. Booker became a board member of BAEO. He had entered the matrix of evil.”

“Next stop, the Bradley-funded Manhattan Institute, where Charles Murray was a Bradley Fellow. The Manhattan Institute is a think tank that specializes in media manipulation. Booker got the Right’s formal seal of approval on September 20, 2000, when the Institute showcased him at a luncheon – in effect, telling the rightwing network that he was their guy. Booker said all the right words, denouncing entitlements and redistribution of wealth. He was a big hit, and soon rightwing outfits across the nation were singing his praises, and preparing to fund his mayoral campaign.”

“Sharpe James wasn’t up against a neophyte politician, but facing the massed resources of the corporate Right. Booker was just their front man.”

“PSB’s Street Fight filmmaker, Marshall Curry, was an extension of the Cory Booker campaign”

“the pseudo-documentary, Street Fight – a disgraceful presentation totally devoid of journalistic merit. Lies of omission are still lies.”;)

[ForOurYouth]

Please don't dismiss education. It would be nice to have someone in City Hall who will actually THINK for a change.:o

[5Reasons]

Cory Booker has also appeared at the latest Democratic National Convention and at several times on issues concerning the state of black America. You seem to have forgotten those engagements. :rolleyes: If Cory is a setup from the right, then how come he was allowed to speak and appear at several sessions at the Democratic National Convetion? :eek: How come he was allowed to speak on LIB Air America? :eek: How come that guy, I forget his name, who runs the...I forget, but it's like the DLC, mentioned Cory's name on CSPAN? :eek: Even The Economist magazine has talked about Cory Booker within the context of being a new Democratic candidate facing and old-line (and may I add, WORN OUT) urban leadership.

This pathetic attempt to divert from an administration that KNOWS NO ACCOUNTABILITY is, well, just that - PATHETIC! Meanwhile, while you're talking about rightwing conspiracies, we have a police chief, Chief Clueless, who says, "Drug dealers are not a priority" while at the same time we have a Deputy Mayor that says, "our drug areas....where people are HELD HOSTAGE."

NO MORE TRICKS IN 2006! EVERYONE MUST GO!!!

[newarkcentral]

The facts are what they are. You do not dispute that Golden Boy Wonder is financed by people who by and large have deep connections to the corporate Right. My post is about the Golden Boy Wonder, the only thing that is Pathetic is your sorry attempt to make excuses for this fraud. Hell as far as I’m concern the current police director can go I have no problem with that at all. You appear to be someone who thinks he know everything and any person with a difference of opinion is label uneducated or insulted by you on this forum. That Mr. 5 is truly PATHETIC. :p

[CaptainJim59]

Due to Booker being white, he isn't fit to be Mayor! I think that speaks well for Sharpe defenders!

[5Reasons]

Central Shill,

I'm sorry to break up your little imaginary diversionary post with, well, you know REALITY. After all, Cory isn't even the dogcatcher of Newark. Sharpe, however, is in charge of a city that has seen more murder, more gang members, more crime, more fear from citizens, more litter, more debt, many more excuses and more, more, MORE money for the "toxic mix" insiders that are robbing this city blind every which way from Sunday. At the same time, you know, in this reality thing, we have also seen fewer cops, fewer fighter fighters, lower quality of life and NO SIGN that things are going to get better.

I also noticed, CentralShill, that you didn't mention ANY of the other things that Cory has appeared at. After all, how many FOCUS ON THE FAMILY types appeared at the Democratic NATIONAL Convention? Huh? How many times has Pat Robertson appeared on AIR AMERICA - you know, LIBERAL talk radio?

But I know, I know, your livelihood is BASED on re-electing a tired and failed leadership. You'll do anything (and I mean ANYTHING) to distract us from the fact that LIFE IN NEWARK IS HELL. HELL, even the current State Senator and DEPUTY MAYOR of Newark, you know, the guy that works for Sharpe, ADMITS that we're being HELD HOSTAGE. Is that a rightwing conspiracy? Let me know, huh? When the Deputy Mayor, you know who that is, right Central Shill? admits to "our drug areas", isn't that saying something?

But yeah, let's try to boogieman up Cory, even though this city is falling apart in every direction.

NO MORE TRICKS IN 2006! EVERYONE MUST GO!!!

[newarkcentral]

I was speaking about Golden Boy Wonder address the facts that I raised you are deflecting my legitimate concerns about someone who wants to be the mayor of my city. I could give a good dam about DNC or Air Amer. I raised the question about were he gets is $$ and that concerns me.

Based on past posts by Capt. Jim59 I know where you come from as you have been chest sized before with your raciest comments.:)
