Jersey City Politics, Unraveled

Sabina Szafrankowska expresses her opinion on the plan to relocate a memorial during a news conference in Jersey City.

It's been a raucous week in Jersey City. It started with a feud between newspaper publishers and Mayor Steve Fulop, who has impounded more than 200 news boxes that he said had become a blight on city streets. And it ended with an epic City Council meeting that lasted nine hours — six of them spent on the removal of a Polish statue from the Hudson River waterfront.

On top of that, the teachers union is mad at City Hall for changes to their health plan, and the first woman (Amy DeGise, daughter of Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise) was elected to lead the Hudson County Democrats.

Terrence McDonald, reporter with the Jersey Journal, unpacked the week that was with All Things Considered Host Jami Floyd.

**Correction. Mayor Steven Fulop did not use an expletive to refer to the New Jersey State Senate President in a Tweet. He used an expletive to refer to Polish Senate Speaker Stanisław Karczewski.
