Stopping in at City Hall Tuesday, I noticed several signs heralding "Plainfield Office Hours" for Congressman Frank Pallone Jr.
Turns out the District 6 Congressman has reserved City Hall Library from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on second Tuesdays of each month for the rest of the year. No appointment is necessary, just stop in with your "constituent concerns and issues related to federal agencies."
I couldn't think of any questions, but anyway it wasn't the man himself sitting in the library, it was a staff member. However, if you have a problem that only the feds can solve, mark your calendar for Oct. 14, Nov. 9 or Dec. 14.
If you look at a map of the district, you will see that Plainfield is at the tippy-top of the territory that meanders down to Asbury Park. Pallone's offices are in Washington D.C., New Brunswick and Long Branch, so having a representative right here on Watchung Avenue is probably a plus.
Pallone, a Democrat, will be seeking his 12th term in the November general election. His opponent is Republican Anna C. Little.

Is the City receiving rent for the use of the City Hall Library in what is obviously a political campaign move?
ReplyDeleteHERE WE GO AGAIN.....THEY DON'T KNOW US...UNTIL THEY NEED US. RESIDENTS OF PLAINFIELD SHOULD CHANGE THEIR POLITICAL AFFILIATION TO INDEPENDENT AND MAKE ALL POLITICAL PARTIES EARN OUR VOTE. INSTEAD OF THE PREDICTABLE TACTIC OF TAKING THE DEMOCRAT(S) VOTE FOR GRANTED. THE REGISTERED DEMOCRATS OF PLAINFIELD AND ALL OTHER "URBAN" COMMUNITIES MUST STOP BEING SO PREDICTABLE.
