Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Bernice's flight to Seattle reminds her of Plainfield: Turbulence. Olddoc has an extra spicy potpourri on Jerry, roads, the schools and school violence. Maria continues pursuing textbooks, and 'professional development'. Jerry posts endorsement by Garden State Equality (post comments on Jerry's blog here). Mayoral candidate Pivnichny apologizes to candidate Dowe over LWV ad, offers apology to others if they let him know they 'just missed the deadline'. (Incumbent Robinson-Briggs' page is still 'under construction'.) Assembly candidate Vastine challenges Jerry on the GSE endorsement.
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.
