Mason Donates to Fulop

Last April

GA heard from a source the Mason checkbook flipped open in Jersey City- again.

What a difference an election makes.

From dumping a loaded Brinks truck into Mayor Jerry Healy's campaign coffers a month ago- at least $46K, Mason skulked back into hostile territory last week with a $5,000 check for Mayor-elect Fulop reportedly for Jersey City's June 11 run-off .

Is $5K enough to smooth ruffled feathers on the Fulop campaign?  Better yet, is any amount enough? 

Because GA heard from several sources that the smear campaign to tarnish the reputation of a top Fulop aide (false rumors spread to the media and a hate-flier) in the homestretch of the campaign came from Mason herself.  More precisely, from Mason's fishy political operative. And Finboy's smear victim was a former associate and mentor.  Nice.

A classic, politically tone-deaf Mason-Finboy smear job.

They did it to me in the BoE election-  attacked me on thousands of  midnight fliers and on a Nazi Truck, though I wasn't a candidate, and had no involvement with any campaign.   Finboy forgot his job was to win elections, not nurse vendettas. Did the Mason-Finboy smear strategy get them one vote?

No.  It galvanized Reform and lost the election.

This time, the Mason-Finboy smear was as gratuitous and counterproductive.  Not to mention vicious; the attack was designed to wreck the guy's reputation and career. It really had no other aim, no political benefit.  GA bets the Mason-Finboy savaging of their former ally didn't get Healy a single vote.  

But it may have gotten them something else- enemies.  Powerful ones.    Hence the $5K Mason peace offering?

Given her generosity to Healy, and her wealth, that is a paltry amount.  Did The Checkbook contract anemia all of a sudden?   $5K seems kind of insulting, after Healy got a shower of Benjamins.

Well Jersey City people, $5K can get you a LOT of t-shirts at GA's Recall Beth Mason 2013 Gift Shop.  A LOT.  And buttons, too.

Let this be a lesson to anyone in the political world about how Mason will try to destroy you if you are on the 'other' side; today's allies are tomorrow's targets.   If you still 'take' her and her rotten fish, you have no one to blame but yourself.
