Partnership for a Better Jersey City
Partnership for a Better JC is a non-profit, community based organization that is working on a number of different initiatives aimed at making Jersey City a better place to live and work. We hope to accomplish this by making our local government more accountable, more responsive and more conscious of our tax burden.
This is about citizens coming together and asking for a change in the way their elected officials conduct their business. And if our local officials don’t want to take the steps necessary to enact change themselves, then Partnership for a Better JC is prepared to force them to make the changes need to make our city better.
On The Street
As a unified community we are pursuing two ballot initiatives to be voted on in the November 2008 general election. The first is a ban on pay to play practices by professional service contractors such as construction companies, lawyers and accountants who give political donations and seek to get lucrative no-bid city contracts. This will limit the toxic combination of money and politics. The second is a ballot initiative that restricts elected officials from collecting second pensions and salaries at your expense. With your help it is the only way to change an entrenched political system that has been operating for their own best interests for decades.
