i know it s complicated for the public to understand. but you know, in really the bottom line is, that week, that week of may 8th, that day, there was some important things that happened. and right after that time frame, when i send this letter saying, i can t believe this is really true, we re not going to get hazard funding. when the planning board voted down the zoning that the rockefeller group wanted, well then in the governor s the lieutenant governor s office calls on monday, they come, and she delivers a very clear message, because i think they felt i wasn t getting the message clearly enough. and they wanted to make it clear to me. i want to talk specifically about what she said to you. and your immediate reaction to it. we have to take a quick break, we re going to have more with the mayor of hoboken. let me know what you think. tweet us using #ac 360. the threat to turn the winter olympic games into a blood bath and the race to prevent one. russian authorities search
saying i hope this is not the final decision. we need help. two days later, their office calls friday afternoon and says we want to do a sandy business event on monday at 10:00 in the morning. the timing seemed a bit strange but we were fine with it. we want to welcome the lieutenant governor. she is coming to hoboken. we had already done the opening for shop rite, at least a month before. so certainly wanted to welcome her. you believe her coming down was in specifically in response to this letter of may 8th? i do believe it was related. i think that she, you know, that event was created that she could come and have the opportunity to make a very clear message to me. when she said it to you?
