    What change? Paterson needs zero tolerance police force. Needs curfew. Needs to replace the current political Democrats and the current police force.

      IDK if you noticed but under the great leadership of Mayor Sayegh there has been zero tolerance. How many quality of life summonses, arrests, etc etc. It doesnt matter if you have Duterte of the Philippines as Mayor….You change the city until you change the people. We need development and gentrification …look at what Newburgh , NY is doing giving artists free lofts and it is on the up and up certain parts look like Bklyn now.
