Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Bernice has high hopes for her Redbud. Maria turns up an interesting PDF analysis of District expenditures. Olddoc finds the City's website less than edifying (not to mention accurate), and discovers younger folks know nothing about Paul Muni's Oscar-nominated performance. Piv on the Administration's unfilled financial slots: No Way To Run A City. Jerry posts an apparent Christie administration release on new HIV/AIDS drug benefit program. Bo on the 22nd posts the RNC statement on Obama's NJ visit. Councilor McWilliams outlines her 'FAIR' (Fiscal Accountability, Integrity and Responsibility) package, with box scores.

There are two personal blogs concerned with the Plainfield public schools: Dr. E=MC², argues the District is moving expeditiously to evaluate and decide on the Obama Academy; and Eye on Plainfield Schools.
