UPDATED/CORRECTED William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews Gcity's STREET SWEEPER IS BROKEN--The photo captures a moment earlier this week at the intersection of Sparks and Little Ridgeway Streets, just after the Gloucester City Street Sweeper made its rounds. Unfortunately, this $100,000-plus machine, which should be maintaining the city's cleanliness, is making the streets dirtier than they were before the sweeper passed. It raises an intriguing question: Why hasn’t Public Works Superintendent Alex Tedesco, with an annual salary of $121,000, taken the necessary steps to repair such a vital piece of equipment? Furthermore, as one observes the superintendent's pickup truck, it’s curious that there aren't any markings declaring it as part of Gloucester City Public Works. This absence only adds to the mystery surrounding the city's approach to maintaining the city sweeper that costs nearly half a million dollars.

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (JUNE 16, 2025)(CNBNEWS)--During the caucus meeting on June 16, 2025, Gloucester City Mayor Dayl Baile and the City Council members reviewed two ordinances and an extensive list of 16 resolutions. Among these, one resolution, titled "Designating Salaries for Employees Serving in Titles with Salary Ranges," demanded attention. This document is a crucial step toward transparency in public salary expenditures, shedding light on how taxpayer dollars are spent. While it deliberately omits specific employee names, the resolution still offers a salary breakdown by title that allows citizens to understand exactly how their funds are being utilized. CNBNews took the initiative to connect some names to the titles outlined in the resolution, pulling information directly from the City’s website to enhance public awareness.

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews My father and mother, George and Mazie Cleary When I embarked on my journalism career in 1967, one figure loomed large as my inspiration: my father, George F. Cleary Sr. As a curious eight-year-old, I would press my small hands against the cool glass of the window, my wide eyes filled with wonder, watching as he hurried out the door to report on a fire. His heart raced, and a palpable energy filled the air as he intently listened for the distinctive sound of the horn that summoned volunteer firemen to emergencies. Each blast of the horn was more than just noise; it was a clarion call, a signal he had learned to decipher with precision. The unique patterns of the horn indicated specific locations, like a secret code only he understood. For instance, when the horn erupted six times, then paused before blasting...

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor In a few days, all those rhymers who lived in Tin Pan Alley back when Gertie was a pup will be fulfilled once again. How’s that you say? Was a love song ever written that didn’t have both moon and June in it? And the full moon will be here in a couple of days and it is our responsibility to go look at it. A full moon is probably the basic cause of most superstitions and spooky stories and maybe even a religion or two. And that’s because it shows us our world in an entirely different light than we’re used to. A moon softens the hard edges of our everyday world. It casts a pall of loveliness on rocks and water and even old cowboys. And you know this is another reason so many people are married. In moonlight, even a cholla...

"This is a bad and dangerous day for America!" ~ President Donald J. Trump Four years of open borders and sanctuary policies have brought criminal drug networks, human trafficking, and an epidemic of sexual assault. William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews United States President Donald J. Trump, a Republican, issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled today that the millions of non-American individuals who crossed into our country illegally during the four years that the Washington Elite Democrats and the incapable Democrat President, Joe Biden, controlled the country must be given a trial; that they cannot be forcibly removed from the United States. "The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public," said Trump.

Camden diocese gives up court fight in state clergy abuse probe by Dana DiFilippo, New Jersey Monitor May 7, 2025 The Catholic Diocese of Camden has abandoned its attempt to prevent state prosecutors from convening a grand jury to investigate clergy abuse, an unexpected move that comes just a week after the New Jersey Supreme Court heard heated arguments on the matter. Bishop Joseph A. Williams, in a Tuesday letter to parishioners, said he met last Thursday with the diocese’s trustees and other leaders, and they unanimously agreed to end their seven-year battle to prevent the state Office of the Attorney General from presenting the findings of its clergy abuse task force to a grand jury. State attorneys had hoped grand jurors would issue a presentment, in which they’d publicly condemn abusive priests and church leaders who covered up abuse and recommend reforms to prevent such harms from happening again....

I wanted to share a personal update: I am an 83-year-old man fighting diffuse emphysema and lung fibrosis. Unfortunately, my conditions have worsened. I was using the Trelegy inhaler, but in January, the price for my co-pay skyrocketed from $147 for a three-month supply to $2,000.21 (unbelievable they added 21 cents to the total). That number breaks down to about $700 per month. As you know, for CNBNews graphic files decades, elite politicians in Washington, on both sides of the aisle, have promised to make medications more affordable for senior citizens and those living on fixed incomes, but they have consistently failed to keep those promises. Some will say the Affordable Care Act lived up to that promise, or that Biden's Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program was the savior. Clearly, neither one did anything for me when it came to lowering my recent costs. My doctor has prescribed two more...

GUEST OPINION By John Stanford This month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will begin meeting with patients who use the 15 drugs it selected for the second round of Medicare price "negotiations" -- including weight-loss treatment Wegovy. CMS will use these discussions to inform the lower prices it'll set for the medicines. What CMS won't address is the growing list of drugs that'll never be developed as a result of government price-setting. It's been less than three years since the Inflation Reduction Act authorized the price negotiation program. Already, several companies have cited the law as a reason for pulling the plug on research programs and treatments for cancer, psychiatric disorders, and other serious conditions. Nearly 50 research programs and 24 drugs have been discontinued since the law was enacted. Thankfully, President Trump just signed an executive order calling on Congress to roll back the Inflation Reduction Act's...

The most meaningful sermons are lived, not preached. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. Roland “Poppy” Kelm was the kind of man who lit up a room the moment he stepped in—not because he demanded attention, but because his warmth and joy were impossible to ignore. Roland met each day with a bubbling sense of humor and a deep, steady kindness. He made life feel lighter, more colorful, and a whole lot more fun. Mr. Kelm held his faith dear and carried his beliefs with quiet strength, always grounded, always guided by a deep spiritual compass. Life didn't harden him. He was a delight. We've reached the age where life stops giving things, but takes them away. But don't fear sadness, as it tends to sit next to love. This is the time that we let go, and these are the words that...

By Eric Ruark CNBNews Exclusive Ask most Republicans or right-leaning voters for their thoughts on "environmentalism," and you'll hear a litany of complaints about progressives' attempts to remake our economy, increase the cost of living, and regulate small businesses into the ground. It's simply a political reality that campaigns against eating meat and zoning battles to outlaw single-family homes -- not to mention the war on oil and natural gas -- have made "environmentalist" practically a dirty word on the Right. And that's a problem, because protecting our environment, conserving our natural resources for future generations, and promoting a high quality of life for all Americans are fundamentally conservative endeavors. This isn't an attack on or a defense of the political Right. It's an argument that it's long past time for the Right to seriously take up the mantle of environmental stewardship rather than ceding it to the radical Left....
