GLOUCESTER CITY-Bill Waters who has been writing about the graffiti problem in Gloucester City is continuing his crusade to bring it to the forefront so that the City launches an all out campaign to clean up these eyesores. Bill writes, “The "artwork" on the RR control box at Monmouth Street has been recently expanded--now filling the entire "canvas" and was not included in the photos that I gave to you last month; and the red "Eat Me" directly across from the mayor's residence is a recent add-on. “I find it amazing that the epicenter for graffiti in our town seems to be the mayor's intersection. Especially considering he's an ex-policeman, this shows the boldness of the perpetrators and the pervasiveness of the problem. “I voted for the mayor, and I think overall he's doing a very commendable job. But he's got to get outraged about this problem and understand how... Read more →

The Gloucester City Democrat Club is located at Broadway and Monmouth Street. A few weeks ago there were a few comments posted on CNB calling the Democrats in Gloucester City “racist rednecks” because there were no Obama for president signs posted on the Club’s headquarters. At the time the reason given by one local Democrat was that those in charge of Mr. Obama’s campaign are using the monies on other things like costly television commercials.

Gloucester City Solicitor John Kearney was present, as part of the effort to see who has paid, and who has not, at the Chatham Square Apartments, which had been purchased by the City earlier this year. "It was a successful day. We reached resolution on all but one case," said Kearney, who patiently listened to the judge's long list of rules and regulations concerning payment by 4:30 p.m. in the form of cash, money order, or cashier's checks. Because of poor record keeping by the previous owners of Chatham Square, the City was unable to determine which tenants had paid their rent and security deposits. Closes to 300 cases of possible eviction were read, and 32 of them dealt with Chatham Square. "Twelve cases were dismissed. They had... Read more →

Link: City Paper The majority of politicians in this great state are, by definition, somewhere in the middle of the pack in terms of professional quality. Some are scrubs, incapable of really doing their jobs, and quite possibly on their way out come Election Day. And a few are stars: They take the game seriously and they've mastered it. For better or worse, for the past two decades, South Philadelphia's Democratic state senator, Vincent Fumo, has been regarded as the imperator of this final category. In a 1993 Daily News interview, former Philadelphia state Sen. Gerard Kosinski had this to say about Fumo's influence: "If an extraterrestrial came down here, it wouldn't say, 'Take me to your leader.' It would say, 'Where's Vince?'" Read more →

By Sara Martino NEWS Correspondent Westville was one of the 10 or more Gloucester County towns that had an ordinance regarding public intoxication as an offense. During the September 24 Borough Council meeting, that ordinance was repealed. As advised by the Tri-County Joint Insurance Fund, the ordinance should be deleted from the municipal code to avoid any future lawsuits. The NJ Legislature, in 1975 repealed all such state laws and prohibited the introduction of new ones regarding public intoxication. In other words, it was de-criminalized by the state. According to a suit filed previously by a Burlington County resident, some municipalities were illegally enforcing an ordinance that made public intoxication a crime. Public drinking is still prohibited in the borough. Borough Administrator William Bittner said some change orders for the renovations of the Westville Public Library were necessary.
