PLAINFIELD TODAY:
Be sure to check out fellow Plainfield bloggers: Bernice reviews the administration's landscape as of this date. It ain't a pretty picture. Olddoc posts HIS thoughts on the Council meeting and issues on the table. Councilor McWilliams, chair of the IT committee, shows she's done her homework and shares her unanswered questions. Maria posts a Q&A on the 2009-10 school calendar. PSN did get the full story on the PHS boys and the semifinals up. Assemblyman Green congratulates Councilor Burney on the public safety meeting, takes a few bows, and posts the Black and Latino caucuses' press release outlining their wishes on Stimulus money.
