i read somewhere jersey city is the most diverse city in the state and one of the most diverse in the united states. i was reading you were futured in the new jersey monthly magazine and it was saying the longest established working class families and the younger professionals and you are not originally from jersey city. how are you able to appeal to those people and the working class families and how are you able to appeal to those people who might view you as an outsider since you are not from there? >> you cut on some of the dialogue in the campaign. i was painted as a wall streeter. i was painted as an outsider. i was painted as somebody who wasn't born and raised in jersey city despite the fact i was there for 14 years. our position in the campaign was we did our best to be as granlar as possible on information, on policies we intend to i were meant once elected. if you think about most campaigns at all level, they say we intoned hire more police and make the streets safer. they don't get into how you do that. our police plan was nine pages, how we're going to pay firt, everythin

by saying jersey city will be the largest city in the state of new jersey. we estimate in late 2015, early 2016 based on our growth rates. one of the most diverse in our area. we are the home of ellis island. and that golden door to america name is the name for a golden opportunity. that doorway represents an opportunity which is the immigrant experience which in many ways is the belief in this country and the democrat experience as well. when you think about jersey city and the things we have done, we have structured our incentives programs and everything we use to move development into the iper portion of the city. you are moving market rate development into the inner portion of the city and we've incentivized affordable housing to the water front area. it's something i'm very conscious of and it's something we've tried to implement policies that are going to move the city in that direction. we broke ground on a tower in ournal square. >> we are very conscious of the disparities from a development standpoint. we are putting tools in place. the jersey journ

it's a challenging issue in jersey city. we spent probably $2 million on our side alone of the race and voters turnout was what i mentioned earlier. it would be hard to be a resident in jersey city during the election and not know there was a may recall election going on from a house to house standpoint. i think people vote on things that areless of substance and the more we try to educate them, people try to gravitate towards things that aren't meaningful and move the dialogue forward, sometimes gender or race or geographic location or who their neighbor is. i don't have a answer for you long term. >> we are working on it. >> i'm a former organizer with food and water watch. i want to thank you for your opposition to the pipeline that is now in service between jersey city and manhattan, a 42 inch gas pipeline going under the hudson. i know that jersey city attorney is going to argue now -- >> yesterday. >> there are some arguments coming thursday. but the regulatory commission is approving these pipe lines right and left al

now even more problems for people in some sports of jersey city.vered cars like this one will get tickets if they're not moved. this man posting signs on his car. >> i tried for two hours trying to get the ice underneath, get out. but that's almost impossible. >> reporter: there is a warm-up already on the way but forecasters say, don't get used to it. >> the warm-up's brief. we have a shot of very cold air coming. back into the east and midwest middle to latter half of next week. >> reporter: the transportation chief warning if there's another storm, the state may have to shut down interstates. there's just too much snow here. gio benitez, abc news, jersey city. >> now here is a look at today's weather a wintery mix of rain and snow for the northeast. much of the midwest will get plenty of rain. snow showers from idaho to dakotas. up to 3 inches of rain for the pacific northwest. up to two more feet of snow for the cascades. >> and the entire nation will see milder temperatures, 59 degrees for washington, 72 for atlanta. the hot spot again is phoe

let me bring in director of public safety for new jersey city, new jersey jim shea.karen desoto. we begin with you, james. what kind of steps are being taken to combat this problem? >> well to combat this problem effectively, we feel in jersey city you have to get in front of it. so we started looking at this months ago. we brought in all the hotels and the transportation providers in jersey city and we held a symposium to teach them how can you identify human trafficking as it's happening. we don't want them to be police officers. we want them to be able to report to us at the earliest instance if they think there's an occasion of human trafficking in their facilities. >> okay. karen, to echo that "the washington post" writes "new jersey police have held training programs to educate local service employees, school international space stations and parents to be aware to recognize the signs of sex trafficking of children and women." then there's cindy mccain, wife of arizona senator john mccain who is an advocate for victims of human trafficking and here's what she sa

the idea that a young, teenage muslim girl from jersey city is somehow able to represent at the age of four, the muslim people, and i think that people would know if they sat down and thought about it, but it doesn't stop us from projecting onto other people. >> let me make a point here. we need to understand that just because somebody is a minority writer from a certain ethnic group doesn't mean this they can speak for every person in the muslims, christians, and what does latino mean? it gets very complexed and nuance, and we have to keep that in mind. >> we have an obligation, because you're african-american and writing about african-american issues. >> that's for me, i don't choose to write about black experience, because to me it means an experience that i'm creating for white readership. i'm expressing my experience, but i think that the black community does, maybe it doesn't exist as a cohesive element. but it does exist for something. this is from the outside. so when somebody says to me, obama gets elected. and aren't you happy that we have gotten so far? well, obama is a very

he went to jersey city and from there he took a ferry into lower manhattan. it was 96 degrees that day. so the breeze on the ferry probably felt great on the over, and, of course, helped avoid all that bridge and tunnel traffic into lower manhattan. well, when governor christie left the events on september 11, he did not return by the same root he used to get there. instead of taking the ferry back the way he came, governor christie's office says he flew back to trenton. he flew back to trenton by helicopter. so think about the geography here for a second. if the governor traveled the root that his office says he traveled, there's no legitimate reason why he should have been anywhere near the gridlock that day that was caused by the shutdown of access lanes on to the george washington bridge in ft. lee. look at the -- see how much further above ground zero ft. lee is? ft. lee is up there. trenton is down there. so there's no reason why you would go past ft. lee if you were going home to trenton. this past september 11th was day 3 of the manmade traffic disast

the idea that a young, teenage muslim girl from jersey city, is somehow expected at the age of 4 to represent billion people at 9-1-1 and that doesn't stop us from projecting that onto other people. >> let me make a point here. i think we also need to understand that just because someone is a minority writer from a certain ethnic group doesn't mean that they can stand and speak for every person in their group. that can be racist too, when you say there's something called the black community. there are black people from different groups and backgrounds, muslims, christians, and latinos, and what does latino mean. it gets complexed and nuanced and we have to keep that in mind. >> and there has to be responsibility, writing about african-american issues. >> i don't choose to write about black experience because to me that is an experience this i'm creating for like white readership. i'm expressing my experience, but i think the black community maybe doesn't exist as an actual cohesive element. but it does exist as an other. it exists to something that is perceived from the outside. so for instan

we met roofer mark nejmeh in jersey city, clearing what he calls ice dams. how much weight does snow like this put on a roof? >> you could have as much as 40- 60 pounds per square foot, maybe more. >> reporter: emergency roof inspections for students from 60 new jersey schools today. a rescue team pulled a man out from this collapsed carport in pennsylvania. bid from temperatures will reach well into the 40s from illinois to new england. it's a welcome change for homeowners trying to clear snow from ice-clogged drains, but the thaw could cause flooding. melting snow could produce half a foot of melting snow could produce half a foot of water in the midwest and four inches of water in the northeast. heavy rains are forecast for tomorrow, which could only add to the problems here in new jersey, scott. already, many of the storm drains are clogged with ice, and when that snow starts to melt, that there could be some flooding. >> pelley: 30 days to spring, vinita. thanks very much. tonight, a united airlines flight attendant is in the hospital. she is one of sev
