William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews JEER-Our Democracy is based on a system of "Checks and Balances". Citizens benefit when local government has elected officials who debate and present their different view points on subjects that pertain to the citizens and tax payers of the community. Unfortunately, Gloucester City has not chosen to operate under a two-party system for the last 42 years! This has created an environment of complacency within our local government. It's like playing a football game when only one team shows up and the other team forfeits the game because they don't have enough players to put on the field!

The unique properties and effects of Red Vein Kratom make it stand out among the Kratom family.
