Earthlink has halted all of its work in Muni-WiFi systems and is officially pulling out of the as yet uncompleted Philadelphia network after three years. Why are we contemplating a "commitment" to a $250,000 contract with a small, unknown company with even less of a track record?
We already have Automatic Vehicle Locators in our Police Vehicles. Why are we soliciting bids for a new system?
The CitySide housing units are a fiasco. Why give a second thought to helping the owners bail out of their self-made mess with City financing, PILOTs, and property swaps?
Our Civilian Police Director does not live in the city as required by law (you said so yourselves with your vote in December), took sick days Monday and Tuesday and yet appeared before the Plainfield City Council Monday night. (Remember back in December when you chastised him for not being present and accessible to you and the citizens?) Why don't you go all the way and terminate his employment by the city?
The Administration has actively pursued and fired employees for non-residency, even when they've maintained an apartment in town and only lived away on weekends. Why are you allowing Communications Director Irving Bradley to split his residency?
Personnel Director Raisa Walker, presumably under oath, stated in July of 2006 that the City of Trenton had not issued any residency waivers to any employees in six years. Business Administrator Jane Feigenbaum stated in January of that same year that Mr. Santiago had been granted a residency waiver. These statements clearly contradict one another. What are you going to do about it?
The city is broke and broken. We need you to stop the stupid, illegal and wasteful spending and start repairing the civic infrastructure.

The City Council are a bunch of afraid puppets who are on strings and although they try sometimes they never make sense or seem to be able to stand up against the absent puppet master. Most want to be mayor. As long as they can keep stealing the taxpayers' money and the City's childrens future, they will. Don't expect any help from the State, they are doing the same thing. Remember they want you to believe they can do anything they want. They can not unless everybody just sits by and watches. They tell you not to steal because they hate competition.
You are doing a great job in getting the message out. I wish more people would do the same.
