"We are not moving forward with any land sales that were not moving already, right? We have not looked at city assets & said 'we're gonna sell this because of the budget crisis.'"

Statement from Mayor Solomon:

"I will never stop fighting to protect Jersey City's immigrant communities, and today's ruling renews my fight. 40% of Jersey City residents were born in another country, and this diversity is what makes our communities stronger and more vibrant."

Answering more of your questions about Jersey City's financial crisis: Why not roll back tax abatements on big developers? And what about the Board of Education?

[City of Jersey City @JerseyCity]

@DanLevin_inJC @JerseyCityTimes A quick fact check here: We are down 500 employees from its peak.

We cut $55 million in waste this year alone.

Our operating budget is down $16M vs last year/2025. We are running a leaner government, while trying to improve services.

I am committed to answering all your questions and concerns about why the proposed tax increase is a painful but necessary step to put Jersey City back on firm financial footing.

Jersey City is in an impossible situation right now, and we're going to need help from the state to close this budget deficit.

I’m working with colleagues across Hudson to get $120M from Trenton because we need the help, and because what’s best for Jersey City is best for NJ.

[City of Jersey City @JerseyCity]

I'm committed to being as open and transparent as possible about our financial crisis in these difficult times. Here's a breakdown of the scope of the crisis we're in, and how our record-breaking ask for state aid combined with a tax increase will put us back on solid ground. — M

Yesterday, the community came together for a festival and to repaint the Juneteenth Freedom Flag Mural outside the Bethune Center. The flag commemorates the final implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation and serves as reminder of the ongoing fight for freedom.

Did you know that Jersey City was one of the last stops on the Underground Railroad?

This Juneteenth, reflect on the stories of the tens of thousands of freedom-seekers who sought refuge in the homes of abolitionists and formerly enslaved people who lived in Jersey City.

Reminder: Street sweeping is suspended tomorrow, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth.

An update from Mayor Solomon about Jersey City’s budget crisis.

[James Solomon @SolomonforJC]

This week, we held community meetings in Ward F and D where I heard directly from residents about our vision for building affordable housing in Jersey City. I'm committed to always putting the community at the center of my decision-making.

[City of Jersey City @JerseyCity]

That vacant lot or abandoned home on your block? It could be a house you can afford. That’s why Mayor Solomon advanced a plan to take over 2,000 abandoned properties and turn them into affordable housing for workers.
