Hudson Reporter Hoboken councilman’s use of Airbnb comes under fire Former running mate and political adversaries question Councilman Mike DeFusco's travel × Councilmembers Vanessa Falco, Mike DeFusco, Jim Doyle, and Tiffanie Fisher at a council meeting in 2019 Several elected officials, including a former running mate and political adversaries, are questioning First Ward Councilman Michael DeFusco’s travel and the rental of his home on Airbnb during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to his public AirBNB profile, which has been active since 2013, DeFusco rented his home 23 times between August of 2020 – six months into the pandemic when the Hoboken Health Department reported roughly one or two new cases of COVID-19 a day- and as recently as March 2021 when the Hoboken Health Department routinely reported double-digit figures for new COVID-19 cases.
