Hateful flyer case remains unsolved ×
The Hoboken City Council adopted a resolution asking Attorney General Gurbir Grewal to take over the investigation into an illicit 2017 flyer.
As Hoboken prepares for the November mayoral election, unanswered questions loom from the last, because an investigation into an anonymous midnight flyer distributed just days before the 2017 election remains unsolved.
The City Council is seeking the help of the New Jersey Attorney General and Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office.
The flyer
At the center of the investigation is a midnight campaign flyer, which appeared on car windshields just days before the mayoral election in which now Mayor Ravi Bhalla, Councilman Michael DeFusco, Councilwoman Jen Giattino, Commissioner Anthony Romano, and residents Karen Nason and Ron Bautista vied for the office.

‘Hoboken will never stand for hate’
Investigation underway after racial slur messaged at Hoboken City Council meeting ×
Racially offensive messages bombarded panelists at the Hoboken City Council meeting on March 3 launching a police investigation to find the sender.
Hoboken police detectives are investigating a bias incident after a member of the public sent a “disturbing” and racially offensive message to panelists at the Hoboken City Council meeting.
An unidentified individual calling themselves “iPhone 7” logged into the March 3 council meeting held on Zoom. Then during the meeting, at 8:21 p.m., he or she sent the N-word repeatedly to panelists privately, away from public view.

“Last night during the Hoboken City Council meeting, an unknown individual began making racist posts on the ‘Chat’ portion of the City Council meeting’s Zoom feed. This occurred at 8:21pm. There were 22 panelists on the Zoom feed who should have been the only ones to be able to view this chat feature,” Ferrante began in an email.
“Two of the panelists are African American and it is believed those posts were aimed at one of them or both of them. We feel strongly that this was unable to be viewed on the Facebook Live feed. As soon as we were able retrieve the posts and have them sent to Capt. Mike DeTrizio and Officer Arturo Gonzalez who began the initial investigation report, City Council Vice-President Jen Giattino disabled the chat feature to stop any further comments from being able to be posted.”
