Healy loses second appeal
By Matt FriedmanThe Associated Press reports that Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy lost his latest appeal today on his conviction for resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.
Healy was arrested in Bradley Beach two years ago after he tried to play peacemaker in a lovers’ quarrel outside of a bar owned by his sister. Today’s decision marks Healy’s second appeal loss.
Healy chief-of-staff Dominick Pandolfo said that while Healy is aware of the decision, he has not yet received it in full. It’s unclear whether Healy will once again appeal the appeal.
“He hasn’t gotten the decision,” he said. “We just went through this with his attorney and they’re not going to comment on anything on anything until he has the opinion in his hands.”
Healy was represented by Philip Matsikoudis, brother of Jersey City Corporation Counsel Bill Matsikoudis.

Quote of the Day
September 8, 2008
"If they ever make a movie about Rep. Rob Andrews, there is only one actor to play the South Jersey congressman: Jim Carrey. In fact, the comedian already has done the needed research for a previous film: 'Liar, Liar.'" -- The Record's Alfred Doblin.

Healy's last Happy Hour
Healy is the posterboy for the Nasty Hudson County Machine Bully. He is nothing more than a little drunken garden nome that keeps giving people from his country of origin a bad name.
Congratulations, conviction upheld
This hypocrite deserves what he gets . He talks like he supports the neighborhood folks but in reality he supports big business and those who contribute to his political bank account .
Hopefully Lou Manzo or Sandra Cunningham decide to challenge Healy .
Is his lawyer...
...charging him the full rate for services or giving him the typcial Hudson elected officials' discount in return for something? Anyone know? Anyone? Bueler? Bueler?
