PLAINFIELD
PLAINFIELD TODAY:
Be sure to check out fellow Plainfield bloggers: Bernice covers the citizens advisory front with the proliferation of committees being set up. No senior moments at all! Maria thanks the Assemblyman for one thing and puts her thinking cap on for more. Olddoc posts some pix of the Great Swamp in the 70s or 80s. The Assemblyman answers a question of Maria's, mischaracterizes the Board of Ed, and takes after the YMCA. Busy day.
