Hoboken City Council asks state to take over 2017 flyer investigation
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.

“I can’t support this resolution tonight: I don’t think it solves any problem. I don’t think it helps any investigation and if it were just a neutral statement – ‘let’s transfer this so that we can get to the bottom of this’ – perhaps I would support it, but that’s not what this is,” said 5th Ward Councilman Phil Cohen.
“This is a resolution that questions the integrity of the Hoboken Police Department and their outstanding investigations unit, suggests that there’s conflicts of interest – that they can’t do an adequate job of investigating this – it’s outrageous to even suggest that, there’s no basis for that.”
