So the<br />abuse of power has a greater negative impact on its<br />citizens. Gerry Green is a " Puppet Master" in Plainfield, <br />pretending to be a "Puppet" for the Dem. Bosses. As<br />inarticulate and uneducated as he may be, he is very<br />street smart. That trumps book smarts any day.<br />Unfortunately for the people who continue to vote for<br />him, they get little to nothing in return. A patronage job<br />here and there, mere crumbs compared to what the<br />community as a whole needs.<br /><br />I find it interesting that no one ever mentions the local<br />churches and their lack of involvement in demanding<br />more from our elected officials. Where are all the "Good"<br />Reverends when you need them. After all, as I once<br />heard one so proudly announce. "We deliver the Vote".<br />The one thing Plainfield has plenty of are Houses of<br />Worship. They own plenty of land (tax free of course).<br />There is a Minister who wants to work with JFK ($$$).<br />on the Muhlenberg project. Just what this city needs,<br />more apartments.

Corruption in politics is everywhere, in every race & nation. <br /><br />People maybe get into politics to make good changes -- but they quickly get sucked into the game and frankly, for anyone to be re-elected, they have to pander to the Dem/Rep power brokers and people/businesses that put money in the campaign chest. All of our politicians in Congress are bought -- special interests, lobbyists for big business, etc. The same happens here at the local level. <br /><br />So it's not race --- it's about people who get power and then use that position for self-gain (examples: Watson, Green). They take advantage of their constituents lack of information. Green's flip-flopping and short term memory is typical. Look at the national stage -- all politicians cry about dirty politics, but sling the mud when their cushy positions are threatened.<br /><br />Here in Plainfield politicians sing the song of "I hear you brother/sister" -- meanwhile dollars are being lifted from everyone's pockets, the government is not run well, there are people in jobs they aren't qualified (but they knew the "right' people) and a few, connected people are walking away with the cash.<br /><br />I find most of the people on the council to be uneducated and not equipped to deal with the issues. Their arrogance and nastiness is astounding. Watching the video of meetings -- I'm embarrassed for them.<br /><br />I now put Mapp in the same category as Green. Career politics -- say anything to get voters to go with you -- then do whatever deals you have to cut to play nice with the power brokers pulling the strings. ANYONE would have been a better choice that Watson.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911830315140428673.post-88095690830916459872014-09-17T18:36:00.061-04:002014-09-17T18:36:00.061-04:00Anon 12:42....Massa. my.

Mr. Greens son and grandson are also Union County Police/Sheriff's Dept. I can not believe that he would say that he has not taken donations from Plainfield residents. He has also stated that he was going to make this a minority city run but minorities. He has also stated he has run this city for a long time and that Plainfield is his city. When I look around at what has happened the last 25 years all I see is a closed hospital, more 99 cent stores, dirty downtown, and developers who left us with unfinished projects. I hope the voters will think before they vote in November because I know I am going to vote differently this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911830315140428673.post-7494387820815669122014-09-17T14:06:43.261-04:002014-09-17T14:06:43.261-04:00Anon, 12:42 PM,You are the real deal a red neck ra...Anon, 12:42 PM,You are the real deal a red neck racist, really printing something like that Bernice, what does that say about you ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911830315140428673.post-66473382291657917622014-09-17T13:10:54.731-04:002014-09-17T13:10:54.731-04:00Green is responsible for Green, Taylor, Rivers, Gr...Green is responsible for Green, Taylor, Rivers, Greaves, Reid, and the poor quality of life in Plainfield.

Jerry made money on the development deals he supposedly brought to the city through the UCIA (Park Madison). I observed him saying that he makes his living finding deals for developers. That development was supposed to take place on the Macy's block but Green forced it to Park Madison even though the city was in discussions with the Watchung Square Mall developer about a commercial project. That killed that idea. Lastly his comments about Dan were inexcusable and libelous. This man has no class what so ever.
