Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Bernice reminds those who think BOE changes are needed: you have to vote. Olddoc calls for voters to put Plainfield and NJ before party. Maria has more questions on the BOE 'mess'. Jerry defends Jerry on land sale, etc., oddly only against Vastine (post comments on Jerry's blog here). Councilor Mapp : Town Hall tonight. GOP Mayoral candidate Pivnichny asks aloud where Plainfield's swine flu plan is. (Incumbent Robinson-Briggs' page is still 'under construction'.) Assembly candidate Vastine goes head-to-head over Jerry's self-defense, and posts Christie's letter promising a top-to-bottom review of Muhlenberg if elected.
Also, three personal blogs by Plainfielders, each with a point of view: Rebecca Williams' Confessions of a Bathrobe Blogger, Renata Hernandez' PEPTalk: Revisited, and Jackie's The (TV) Show Must Go On.
