Expect More Than Empty Promises

I hope that everyone has had a chance to examine

the sample ballot.

Residents of 4/2 and all wards and districts should take a moment more when voting this year. Change the pattern. Instead of starting at the top and checking all boxes down to the bottom without reading the names, do something different.

Start at the bottom and read the names. Think about all of the promises, the rhetoric and mud slinging that has taken place over the last month.

If you received a flyer today with a photo of a person who told you all the great things that he/she has done for you over the last 7 - 8 years, take a moment to reflect. Is that true? Do you have any idea who that person is? Would that person even have bothered to ask for your vote if there had been no challenge to his or her candidacy in 2016?

It all boils down to whether you think the jobs described have been what was best for you and yours. Whom did it serve? Do you know either of those people?

Whatever the results of the Election tomorrow, I will continue to work for the good of my community.

Hell Naw...To the Naw, Naw, Naw!

OneEnglewood is losing its luster

Our Divine Ruler and Feudal Knight is
sparing among the nobles causing
dissentsion among the people.

Outsource Repercussions are STILL ripping apart the fabric of our neighborhoods. 

Madness. Manipulations, using the less fortunate as tools.

Scared to allow the political machine to work.

Figures.

Stop slaughtering the Democratic process
with promises of patronage work and dollars
under the table.

Transparency...?

Not a chance...

Too much mud on the camera lens.

Friday, the 13th, Really?

UPDATE: The Dedication of the Jack Drakeford Firehouse will take place 

at 11 am, May 14, 2016 

on Jack's birthday.

It is hoped that it will not take 47 years for his name to appear on the Firehouse. It took the 
Board of Education 47 years to put Martin Luther King Jr.'s name on the South building 
on the DMHS Campus and it is smaller than the other 2 names that appear on 
HS buildings.  Just an observation.

Did you know that they are dedicating the new Fire House to Jack Drakeford on Friday, the 13th at 11 am?

The man who represented the working class will be honored at a time when the working class will not be able to attend.

To top it off, he will be honored on a bad luck day, Friday, the 13th, when his birthday is on Saturday, the 14th.

What is the message being sent out to the 4th Ward people he represented for so many years? Is it being sent out loud and clear that we are not wanted there or that if we care we can take the morning off?

What is up with that Frank Huttle III and Englewood City Council?

Jack's name is there, carved in stone.
What can I say?
It is probably asking too much for us
to be able to actually see it.

Disappearing Transparencies

In the past, Residents simply went to this page, which is under the Government tab on the Official Englewood, NJ Website and found photos, contact information and a biography of each Elected Official/Council Person.

Charles Cobb
Council at Large
He represents the entire City.

I complained a few weeks ago, because the link to contact Charles Cobb did not work. Other Council people had photos and clear ways to contact them, but Mr. Cobb did not have anything except his name. I wrote an email to the City Council advising them of this. And yes, I did imply that the people of color were being presented in a different way than the others. They were. 

Well, guys, you went in the wrong direction. You were supposed to post more information, not delete all information about all Council Members.

What is up with that? 
Who gave that order?
A lot of taxpayer money is being spent and manipulated by these individuals. Residents should be
able to recognize who these men are prior to attending a City Council Meeting, if they choose to attend.

We want to see the faces of all of these individuals. Please put the photos and biographies back on the website. May people in all 4 Wards have mentioned that they do not have any idea who is the Council for their Wards. Is that the intention of the person manipulating the issues.

Click the link below and please post a comment as to what information you were allowed to take away from this page. 

All of the photos are gone.   ..................Why?

All of the biographical information is now gone..............Why?

Nothing happens when I click on the email addresses of any of the Council People......Why?

Telephone Numbers are provided, but we all know that phone calls mean absolutely nothing when dealing with Bureaucracy.

Please comment and let me know of your experiences when visiting the page lists the persons who were elected to run the City.
