We have a council president who is so tied into JG and CD the Union County Dem. Party. The rest of council are such cowards that they refuse to have a voice and stand up for the people who elected them. This whole sisuation with the Chief is designed by JG and his puppets to remove the Chief and then go back and reinstate the position and then bring in someone with ties to the Union County Dem. chairwoman or someone whos payback is still due for the support during Robinson-Briggs run. If there was ever a City that need Chris Christy to come in and do an investigation it would be this administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-20940738086363584772008-01-25T11:47:00.000-05:002008-01-25T11:47:00.000-05:00What a shame that there were only four council mem...What a shame that there were only four council members present for something that may lead to such detrimental consequences for the city of Plainfield. I sent a letter to our councilperson that went unanswered and unacknowledged. Machine Politics as usual and with recent promotions in Trenton, I believe all citizens in Planfield will be for more dictatorship politics in Plainfield. The people in the 4th ward though will come out and continue to support the current administration and continue to be forgotten after re-election!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-71801366637171741642008-01-25T11:35:00.000-05:002008-01-25T11:35:00.000-05:00To the person who asked about Councilor Gibson's p...To the person who asked about Councilor Gibson's position, here is the quote from Thursday's Ledger story --<BR/>"Council President Harold Gibson said he would vote for the layoff plan and believed 'the council, as a general statement, will support it.'"Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867186465663386310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-11523962952742478912008-01-25T10:33:00.000-05:002008-01-25T10:33:00.000-05:00Dan, What is Council President Gibson's role in th...Dan, <BR/><BR/>What is Council President Gibson's role in this? He is a former cop and county director of public safety. He has been greatly supported by police chiefs.

This is simply another of his cowardly public acts. The first was when he voted "no confidence" in Adrian Mapp at a 2005 democratic committee meeting at the behest of Jerry Green. Mapp supported Burney's candidacy and with his family, walked the streets in support of Burney, and what did Burney do? He stabbed him in the back. Now we have Burney and Carter (a surprise!) suddenly going along with this baldfaced attempt to get rid of Chief Santiago. They have presented no reasons to their constituents. Burney will be up for reelection in November of 2010. Maybe he's hoping that by doing Jerry Green's bidding he will be given the democratic line. It worked when he stabbed Mapp in the back so maybe it will work again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-71608633238169096262008-01-25T09:50:00.000-05:002008-01-25T09:50:00.000-05:00At least the council as a whole, the public, media...At least the council as a whole, the public, media and Santiago were informed of the administrations intent. This gave all an opportunity to voice opinions, do research and make an informed decision in this matter. This is far more professional and straightforward then former Mayor McWilliams loathsome act before the council in the dismissal of the former Public Safety Director.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
