Reply to Halo tower is up to second floor. by Ironboundian

Given the size of this thing, probably won’t be finished with people moving in until summer 2025. If a few other projects can break ground this year and next, there will be a nice pipeline of new units and continued growth for the rest of the decade.

Reply to Newark Residents Push For Slavery Reparations On Federal, State Levels by madsheb

Cory booker specializes in sponsoring bills that won’t pass🤣. This clown is so so deep up pharma’s ass that he has no idea when it is night or day.

All this talk about reparations is just a red hearing dems roll out every time black and monitory voter get a sense that the party they are so loyal to has fucked them over.

Whenever you see discussions of reparations in the news, you know that the democrats are worried of losing support. You can set your watch by it .

Reply to comment by GhostOfRobertTreat in Newark school board blocks attempt to stop superintendent’s contract extension to 2028 by madsheb

Board member Crystal Williams, who was elected last year, introduced a motion to issue a letter of nonrenewal to León before Jan. 31 “in order to reassess his contract” and “give the public the opportunity to voice their concerns.

...

Following Williams’ motion, board member Flohisha Johnson, who was part of the board that approved León’s initial contract in 2018, defended the contract renewal and process.

“I stand behind my superintendent because you know why? I elected him into this office and we appointed him as a board, as a whole, and we don’t have a problem with him,” said Johnson, who was first elected to the board in 2017.

She also read a state law that does not require boards of education to provide public notice or hearings for new contracts, including contracts that replace expired contracts...

People need to remember these names when the election comes around

It's going to feel nice to see a sky crane go up. Judging by The Shack Tower, it'll probably go up to half height at first and when the building catches up Midway, they get extended to the top off point. That crane will be seen from as far away as the turnpike and those Halo Towers will actually stand on their own apart from the main downtown cluster of buildings. Take 1&9 north on the the old rebuilt concrete Skyway over Oak Island Rail Yards to Delancey Street exit. You see that beautiful skyline of Newark. You noticed the Verizon building and the Halo site are actually a couple blocks separated south from the downtown buildings. It will look awesome.
