RECENT POSTS: Bernice finds a treat, and a trick, in tonight's Council agenda.  Olddoc is back in full swing (pun intended), with notes on tonight's Council, his procedure (a must read) and a musing on Corzine. Maria is using OPRA to shed some light on the (mysterious?) Superintendent search, and notes of past two mandatory board self-evaluations, one was never done, one not yet released. Councilor Storch, at For Good Government, reports on Halloween in the neighborhoods (and tonight's special meeting). Councilor Williams, at And My Point Is. urges support for municipal reform ordinances up tonight.
