We returned home from our Arizona trip last Monday. What a beautiful state. The first thing that struck me when we drove from the airport to our hotel was how clean and pristine the highways and interstates are kept.  No liter at all. On the side of each roadway were beautiful flowers and different size cactus.  We were there for 12 days to watch The College of New Jersey baseball team play. Our grandson, Adam Tussey of Brooklawn is the second baseman. The 11 game series was played on fields in the Phoenix, Tempe area which is surrounded by vast mountain ranges and endless blue sky. Besides baseball games we took time to visit some sites such as Montezuma Castle, Sedona, Scottsdale, Prescott, and Flagstaff.  It was a once in a lifetime trip.  Photo: Connie and granddaughter Jessica Tussey, click to enlarge....SEE VIDEO

Haddon Twp resident Tom Cassel has filed a lawsuit against the Township for numerous alleged violations of the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) and the Open Public Records Act (OPRA).  Cassel said the township did not inform the public of five meetings between commissioners and township solicitor Richard Klineburger. Cassel said the meetings, which took place between January and June of last year, should have been advertised under the OPRA because two of three commissioners were present, constituted a quorum.See www.haddontwp.wordpress.com

Recently the State Department of Education release the 2009 Comparative Spending Guide which details how much it cost each district to educate a pupil. According to the Guide the total spending per pupil in the communities of Pennsauken, Gloucester City, Camden City and Collingswood school districts exceeds the state average. New Jersey School Board Association spokesman Frank Belluscio said many factors influence per-student spending, including the size of the district's special-needs student population.
