Mapp Gives Second "State of the City" Address

Mayor Adrian O. Mapp

After a greeting in Spanish to the city's 40 percent Latino population, Mayor Adrian O. Mapp described his first year in office as one dedicated to achieving fiscal stability, reducing crime, welcoming new development and pushing for the much-desired one-seat train ride to New York City.

Promises for 2015 include technological advances in Recreation Division registration and other city operations, a new and improved city web site and 30 cameras deployed across the city to further reduce crime.

One thing he won't have to worry about is union negotiations, as all seven bargaining units settled in 2014.

The entire State of the City Address is online already, so rather than report, I suggest you read it in its entirety.

  1. Cameras don't reduce crime, education and employment do.

  3. It would have been a nice evening, however, Mapp did not have to be so negative in bashing the former administration. He and the other council members blocked everything Sharon tried to do, he is to blame as well. He need to go forward,and stop being such a hypocrite.

  4. Cameras don't reduce crime. What they do is greatly assist law enforcement in capturing criminals. Arrest and convictions go a long way as a deterrent to future crime and criminals.

  5. Why does mapp constantly bash Sharon, she was not allowed a COS or CFO. He blocked everything she tried to do, and now has the audacity to bash her and talk about her failed tenure.

  6. "After a greeting in Spanish to the city's 40 percent Latino population, Mayor Adrian O. Mapp ..."

    English is our language Mr. Mapp. Have some respect for our country and those who learn the language.

    Makes me sick.
