Welcome to Plainfield, Gov. Corzine!




Welcome, Gov. Corzine!


With Gov. Jon Corzine expected at a Plainfield meet-and-greet Sunday (his first pre-announced campaign event in the Queen City), I toodled on by the neighborhood on Friday to see how things looked.

Surprise!

While in other heavily-Democratic communities where the incumbent candidate makes an appearance one might expect Public Works crews to discreetly police the area to make it presentable, there is no option for presentability in Plainfield, even if Assemblyman Green and Mayor Robinson-Briggs wanted it.

Reason?

The road is under construction.



This gravel pile lies near the site of the Govnernor's meet-and-greet.


So the Governor, if he does come, will have to pick his way past piles of gravel and a roadway torn up for new curbs and corner cuts.

At least, you can't accuse the Robinson-Briggs administration of using taxpayer monies for political campaigning.

Plainfield is soooooo ahead of the curve!



New curb cut on Watchung Avenue entrance to street.
