Helicopter Mayor's new thing?

So the Mayor's got a brand new bag: helicopter transportation?

Word is Mayor Robinson-Briggs and entourage debarked from a HELICOPTER at Hub-Stine Field late yesterday afternoon, returning from a trip to Trenton.

As far as PT knows, no other Plainfield mayor has used a helicopter to get around. PT understands Route 1 -- which all of us mere mortals, including the Assemblyman, must use -- is a royal pain in the butt.

But isn't this a bit excessive, even for Robinson-Briggs? And who is picking up the tab? And what about the police escort detailed to meet Her Honor at the landing pad?

We have become accustomed to reading that the only safe way to get out of Baghdad is by helicopter -- where getting from the Green Zone to the airport can be life-challenging.

But if all of Plainfield IS a Green Zone, what's the Mayor's reason?
