JERSEY CITY, NJ (GovWire) -  During the Jersey City Municipal Council budget hearing, the council members discussed the need for improving enforcement in the city. Council President Waterman emphasized the importance of strengthening the enforcement divisions, stating that it brings revenue into the city and helps keep people under control.


"We're just missing so much revenue. But that's the area I'm concerned about is the enforcement," she said.


Director of Public Works, Greg Kierce, agreed with the Council President, mentioning that when the department had sanitation inspectors, they were bringing in roughly $50,000 a month in fines.
