Bernice: Schools need a blogger.. Olddoc: 4-point rant.. Maria: School budget mysteries.. Jerry: 2 endorsements.. Mapp: Town Hall meeting..
PLAINFIELD TODAY:
- "Muhlenberg: The world according to Dottie G."
- "Important events: LWV forum Wednesday, Mapp Town Hall Thursday"
- "Man accused of sexually assaulting 5-year-old boy"
Tista Murder: "Bias alleged in 2007 slaying" -- First use of bias provision in a Union County murder.
Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Bernice opines a need for an objective blogger to cover the schools. Olddoc is on a rant (actually, 4) today -- roads, PMUA, 'endorsements' and healthcare. Go, olddoc! Maria continues unraveling the school budget and textbook mysteries. Jerry is endorsed by Joan Hervey and the NJ Tenants Organization (what?! you didn't know Jerry was for 'local rent control'? Get on line.) (post comments on Jerry's blog here). Councilor Mapp sets a Town Hall meeting on Plainfield's finances (and other matters) for Thursday. Councilor Burney showcases Utah's 4-day work week (slyly avoiding Plainfield's lone 4-day experiment?). Assembly candidate Vastine parses the Courier story on District 22 issues.
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.
