By Bill Cleary JEER-The state of New Jersey announced recently that it is facing a $1 billion hole in this year’s budget — a shortfall five times bigger than previously disclosed — and will cut funding for schools, municipalities, higher education, hospitals and pension plans to help close the gap.

By Dawn Watson I’m not a fan of the “outside” dog, the dog that lives in the yard all day and all night, bored, lonely, sometimes destructive. Neither am I fond of the idea of leaving a dog in a crate for ten hours with no break for some fresh air and exercise. Of course, almost anything is better than a (short) life spent in an overcrowded animal shelter, waiting for euthanization. Happily, there are simple ways you can enrich your dog’s life that cost almost nothing and offer mental and physical stimulation for everyone. A cardboard box can give... Read more →

Many of our residents and City leaders have expressed similar frustrations with Gloucester City’s governing/voter divisions.
