Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Bernice notes the City will forego asking for extraordinary state aid in new budget year. Olddoc, family off to a ball game, posts a 'special emergency' potpourri. Maria notes Paul Graves reinstated (he won his case, after all), posts documents from Monday meeting, and wonders what kind of blogger community officials dream of. Jerry posts 2 news releases, but mysteriously takes one post down.

There are two personal blogs concerned with the Plainfield public schools: Dr. E=MC²; and Eye on Plainfield Schools.
