Plainfielders may have noted that several area mayors were in attendance at a meeting with President Obama on cities and the stimulus plan last Friday.
While Edison mayor Jun Choi and Piscataway mayor Brian Wahler were both present, it seems Plainfield's Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs wasn't even invited.
This while Plainfield was the one community that put Union County in the Obama column in the presidential primary.
Was it because Plainfield pols just don't have the right juice?
Or maybe they have no stimulus plan and aren't getting any stimulus money and therefore the President won't have to keep a watchful eye?

What do you mean Plainfield did not submit a stimulus plan? This would be incredible! If this is the case we all should be outraged. With potholes, crime, and foreclosures mounting, Plainfield leadership should be at the head of the line for hep. Dan, please find out more.
