City Council President Bridget Rivers is on time with her request for a discussion Monday of plans for the 2013 July Fourth Celebration.
When there was an active Independence Day Committee years ago, plans began very early. One main organizer liked to say they started the day after the parade to plan for the next one. More recently, an ad hoc group has been planning the event and details on costs have not been freely shared with the governing body. An all-Plainfield committee was established by ordinance after outside towns stopped supporting a joint celebration, but memebrs were never named.

ReplyDeleteIts over the fat lady sang
stick a fork in it its done.
No patriotic theme
I have several questions on this--I want to make sure that the fraud and illegalities that occurred in the Recreation Division in the past are not repeated. I still have not received a full accounting of what went on.

The parade is a boring joke and just an excuse to waste money and give politicians a chance to drive by. No one cares any more. Let's save the money and put it towards a nice fireworks display.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny - I always thought a town spending money on fireworks was like just setting fire to money. Corporations should be the ones that should give back to the community. Oh that's right, a bank in Plainfield did donate for fireworks....Oops...went to another pocket though.
ReplyDeleteNorth Plainfield welcomes EVERYONE to walk down Somerset Street, have some Spanish snacks and enjoy our 4th of July Parade this year !!
ReplyDeleteThis city lives in denial, and exhibits lack of self worth. Too bad.
