Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Bernice on tonight's 'special emergency' Council meeting, which may take up library funding; and a blogging mystery. Olddoc citing many examples, asks that priorities get straightened out, and notes Jerry is now doing 'potpourri' posts. Maria wonders how many applied for the posting for an 'Ass't Sup't, Administrative Services. Piv pondering 'gangs vs. Council' chooses the latter. Jerry reaches for the Guiness record with four posts on one day. Bo on the 22nd posts on the 'millionaire's tax' and Dem hypocrisy.
Don't miss these personal blogs by Plainfielders, each with a point of view: Rebecca Williams' Confessions of a Bathrobe Blogger; BOE member Renata Hernandez blogs anew at new blog Standing In The Gap, finds Jerry deflecting, misdirecting, but NOT answering. So, what's new?; her daughter Milani Hernandez is at PEPTalk: A PPS pupil's perspective; Jackie Schnoop's The (TV) Show Must Go On, finds Big Brother 12 meets the hamsters; and Dottie Gutenkauf's Dottie G Sez. There are two personal blogs concerned with the Plainfield public schools: Dr. E=MC², notes a post-Gallon reconstruction of the district needs collaboration, but are there problems?; and Eye on Plainfield Schools.
