Bill’s Opinion:
Cheers and Jeers
By William E. Cleary
Compliments to the Gloucester City Highway workers for doing such
a nice job over the past several weeks planting trees along Broadway. Lets hope those who for whatever reason get a charge out of destroying things don’t vandalize the trees.
A Big 
Thumbs up to the police officers, who patrol the streets in Gloucester City. Even though the crime reports are being withheld from the public we know, you are out there protecting us. Thank you.
Cheers to the political candidates running for office on November 7. 
No matter what your party affiliation the job of councilperson is a thankless one. If it weren’t for people like yourselves volunteering your time, many communities would suffer.
Moreover, a big thank you to the City Independent candidates. Because of you, 
people in Gloucester City can actually take part in the democratic process this November. Thanks for stepping up to the plate and giving the voter a choice for once.
Speaking of volunteers a big thank you to the men and women 
who volunteer their time as firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and ambulance drivers. Many times in the dead of night, you are out there doing your best to help your community. Thank you for all the time, effort, and lives you have saved.
Jeers t
o the government bureaucracy that made the Gloucester City Little League/softball/mustangs organizations spend thousands of dollars to upgrade its sprinkler fire equipment in the concession stands. It is “overkill”. The monies spent could have been used to buy kids uniforms and other sports equipment.
Praise to the Gloucester City Business Association. The members continue to pay all expenses for the Police K-9 unit. Which includes the cost of 
feeding the dogs to paying the veterinarian bills. Members and non-members have made this work. There have also been donations from residents of Gloucester City. Anyone who would like to contribute to this worthy cause can do so at the local PNC Bank.
Boo to 
whoever is responsible for instructing, the “ticket lady” to hand out sweeper tickets on the days it rains/snows. The sweeper isn’t running during inclement weather why issue parking tickets. Use some common sense. Moreover, give the public a break for once.
Shame on the person who stole a woman’s pocketbook while she was receiving 
communion at St. Mary’s Church. The sleaze bag also stole the woman’s car. .
To those people whom continually complaint about their local government. Yet, when they have a chance to change things they don’t exercise their constitutional freedom. Our forefathers died so you would have that right. Get out an vote on November 7th.
