Year 5771 from the creation(?) may it be a better one for Plainfield. One can only hope. But one can also try to have an active input into municipal affairs be it city government or BOE.
We now have 6 weeks of political rhetoric before elections. It will b e interesting to see how much support Professor Williams receives from the city party. But the real interest will be focused on if the erosion of Obama support is greater or normal for mid term elections.
It is two weeks until the next scheduled Council agenda setting session. It will b e one month after Administration had promised to have submitted the FY2011 budget to Council.. I am sure there will be an explanation why the delay. Perhaps it cold be due to the fact that the Council would not consider an unqualified individual.
We have been blessed by Councilman Burney's posting on his blog his confusing to some of us explanation for his veto support On Tuesday evening I had written in a post:"Councilor Rivers, representing the 4th Ward has yet to expound on why she considered on Monday September 13, 2010 two Ordinances that she had approved of less than one week before to not merit enactment. If she is going to be a proper representative of all the people in Plainfield she must have a reasonable cause at least in her own mind to change her position. We are owed an explanation. To not do so might leave her motives open to questioning."
We are still waiting for an explanation. I will then post it in my blog if Councilor has no other venue.
Without any logical answer the public can only contemplate that the motive was politics. Plainfield deserves better. Some insight into Councilor Rivers can be gained from the heavily redacted minutes of the BOE's executive session.
One "good " news relating to Palinfield id the 10 year drop in crime rates. An expert analysis is missing as to th emeaning of the figures. No weighed is given to the type of crime, especially murders and violent assault in the overall total. That is the real crux of what gains the city has made.
