Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Bernice notes school changes in retrospect. Olddoc posts two 'quickies' on Administration competence and covering the schools, plus great memories of Muhlenberg, including an egg-peddling surgeon. Maria explains Evergreen's 'Community Room', outsider status of Gallon's 'team', and an apology for 'outing' a reader's name (who had previously 'outed' herself -- go figure!). Jerry snags 'Interested Nurses' endorsement (post comments on Jerry's blog here). Councilor Mapp announces a Town Hall meeting for Thursday, keyed on city financial issues. GOP Mayoral candidate Pivnichny answers a question on immigration. (Incumbent Robinson-Briggs' page is still 'under construction'.) Independent mayoral candidate Dowe posts a letter from Christies promising a top-to-bottom review of the Muhlenberg situation. Assembly candidate Vastine responds to Dottie Gutenkauf's OpEd.
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.
