First published September 21, 2022 William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNewsnet GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (CNBNewsnet)(September 21, 2022)--Twelve years ago, we looked at the housing market in the City of Gloucester City. Former Mayor William James and the council were worried as blight was absorbing sections of the city. They were concerned too about the number of homes converted into apartments. The numbers today reveal that rental properties have increased from 1946 to 2,987 in 2022, or 1,041 more, according to records acquired in an OPRA request by CNBNews. When you compare the number of rentals to the number of residences... Read more →

In a previous CNBNews editorial, we strongly condemned the Mayor and Council for their failure to hire a full-time City Administrator, a crucial position in any administration. We vehemently criticized the governing body for paying the current part-time City Administrator and part-time Police Chief, Brian Morrell, an excessively high salary of over $225,000. After our editorial was published Morrell lashed out at us in a telephone conversation. His tirade was filled with innuendos, screaming, personal attacks, and foul language. At the time, we wondered whether he was in immediate need of anger management. To be fair, Chief Brian Morrell's treatment... Read more →

With the disbandment of the Woodlynne Police Department on Thursday the responsibility of policing the community now falls on the Camden County Police. This change is not unique, as other communities may soon undergo similar transformations. The rising costs, including excessive salaries and benefits, are becoming too much for taxpayers to sustain. For instance, the Gloucester City Police Department is located in one of the poorest communities in the state of New Jersey. Yet, police officers in that city receive an average salary of $127,000, making it the third highest-paid police department in Camden County. The community of Gloucester City... Read more →

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews Editor This week, Camden County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr., a prominent political figure in Camden County, strongly opposed two rulings of the United States Supreme Court.

Rep. Van Drew Questions Secretary Buttigieg on Offshore Wind This week, I had the opportunity to question Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg at a House Transportation and Infrastructure hearing. I questioned him on whether the Department of Transportation (DOT) was doing enough to ensure safety is a priority in areas where offshore wind farms are being constructed. Despite major concerns over maritime and aerial safety, these projects are being pushed forward before adequate safety impact studies have been conducted. I pressed Secretary Buttigieg to ensure safety is prioritized before proceeding with further construction. These projects will result in the permanent... Read more →

Andy Rooney was one in a million. At the end of '60 Minutes' he usually had Andy Rooney his own 10-minute segment that, unbelievably, was never censored by CBS.

Dorothy Philbin | CNBNews Columnist GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (May 27, 2024): This is just a reminder that every year for the past several decades, the City of Gloucester City has hired several city "kids" for summer employment at minimum wage. Traditionally, "kids" meant boys, and minimum wage decades ago was in the $7.00 to $8.50 per hour range. CNBNews graphic file Last summer, 2023, the minimum wage had increased to $14.13 per hour. Kids still meant boys, but instead of the jobs going to those whose families could benefit from the jobs and salaries, everyone hired had a relative in... Read more →

CNBNews contacted Kevin D. Walsh, the Acting State Comptroller in September 2023. We asked Mr. Walsh if some actions taken in 2023 and 2024 by the mayor, council, and the upper echelon of the police department were legal. The following month, the CNBNews Editor, William E. Cleary Sr., was cited for theft and trespassing at Cold Springs Elementary School. The two charges were never proven. Was it just a coincidence? Most likely. But we will never know.

Dorothy Philbin | CNBNews Correspondent GLOUESTER CITY, NJ (APRIL 28, 2024)Over the past year two out of three Gloucester City banks have closed their local branches.
