The news is troubling to some Hoboken officials.
“Since last summer, Councilman Michael DeFusco has notably been absent from Hoboken – absent from signing-up seniors for vaccines, absent from volunteering in the community, absent from supporting our struggling small businesses, and absent from certain City Council meetings and several community meetings, Council members Jim Doyle, Emily Jabbour, and Phil Cohen said in a joint statement. Now, we know why. As elected officials, we’ve been doing our jobs representing our constituents, safely and in-person when appropriate and safe to do so, helping our City recover from the pandemic. At a bare minimum, Michael owes his constituents a full and complete accounting as to why he’s been an absentee Councilman, with overseas travel to COVID-19 hot-spots during the height of the pandemic. If he’s unable to do so, perhaps he should no longer serve on the City Council.

A rendering of 931 Madison Street as presented by architect John Nastasi to the Hoboken City Council on Feb. 24.
A six-story mixed-use residential condo building may be constructed at the corner of 10th and Madison streets now that the Hoboken City Council has approved an introductory ordinance amending an area redevelopment plan paving way for the project.
Architect John Nastasi presented the proposed development before the council at a special virtual meeting on Feb. 24.
It would be constructed at 931 Madison St, replacing the two-story brick building once home to Water Music Recorders, a residential recording studio founded in the 1980s which has seen its fair share of A-list musicians: Beyonce, Joey Ramone, U2, and the Dave Matthews Band among others.
