📰 News we're reading
• Hoboken Restores Full-Time Lawyer Spot (patch.com) — Hoboken has restored a full-time in-house corporation counsel, appointing veteran municipal attorney Diana Jeffrey to lead the city's Law Division. Starting work at City Hall on Aug. 17, she brings extensive experience with affordable housing, redevelopment, and government transparency, as Mayor Emily Jabbour emphasizes the move will strengthen Hoboken's legal representation while remaining fiscally responsible. 
• Bayonne, Hoboken, & Jersey City join helicopter suit against Kearny's HHI Heliport (hudsoncountyview.com) — Hoboken has formally joined Bayonne, Jersey City, Kearny, and Hudson County in a shared legal fight over helicopter noise and safety tied to Kearny's HHI Heliport, capping its costs around $10–15K. Local council members debated fairness of the cost split and pushed for more towns to join, as officials cite years of complaints and a fatal 2025 crash near the Holland Tunnel.
• This Hoboken Bar is Hosting an Alix Earle Lookalike Contest (hobokengirl.com) — Hoboken's Madd Hatter bar on Washington Street is planning an Alix Earle lookalike contest with drink specials and a screening of her new Netflix show on Friday, September 4th. Spots are limited and signups run through the bar's Instagram, with a $300 Sephora gift card for the winner and clarification that Alix herself won't attend.
