HOBOKEN, NJ — What's it like to be mayor of the country's fourth most densely populated city, and realize there's a pandemic on the way? Hoboken writer Jason Stahl published a longform piece about Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla in Spin on Thursday, exploring that topic and others —including the important work the mayor's wife does to help domestic violence victims in the South Asian community.
