PLAINFIELD


PLAINFIELD TODAY:
Be sure to check out fellow Plainfield bloggers: Bernice notes BOE filing deadline looms. Olddoc has a few choice words on the Santiago settlement, use of the Tepper's basement and the IT imbroglio. After that, indulge yourself in the soothing Hawaii pix. Sidestepping the burning question about the Administration's IT proposal, Councilor Burney asks what citizens would like to see from the deployment of IT. Be sure to balance that by rereading Councilor McWilliams' post on the IT situation (she chairs the IT committee). Everyone else seems to be taking the day off.
