Why hasn't anyone called the ACLU or at least written to the attorney general for a legal opinion if this Mayor-directed ban is legal? <br /><br />I've never heard of anything like this in my life. <br /><br />With the utmost respect, you New Dems needs to do a better job of not only calling out this Mayor, but taking action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006829178157020052.post-34817213661011070532011-04-22T21:30:57.075-04:002011-04-22T21:30:57.075-04:00Doc:

This trip is used by elected officials to network with each other on ideas that could be beneficial to their respective municipalities. More importantly, it is used as an opportunity to seek out prospective investors/developers who might be willing to look at opportunities within your municipality. It is also used as an opportunity to reach out to Congressional officials. <br /><br />Several years ago there was a Plainfield delegation led by the late Mayor Al McWilliams that included some council members, I was one of them. It was a trip taken for the purpose of marketing the City of Plainfield. The notion that the Plainfield delegation got drunk is one that is not worthy of a response; I can tell you, categorically, that the drunken allegation is a malicious, self serving lie designed to score political points. Plainfielders are too smart to be influenced by such blatant lies. This is the last you will hear from the New Democrats on the train ride or on the misstatements about North Avenue. We will be focusing on the issues and challenges facing Plainfield, and we will ignore the diversions.<br /><br />Regards,<br />AdrianAdrian Mapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067433441990160389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006829178157020052.post-88850846791401191442011-04-22T11:22:52.270-04:002011-04-22T11:22:52.270-04:00You forgot the IT debacle in year 1 of this admini...You forgot the IT debacle in year 1 of this administration.<br /><br />Would some one clarify the infamous train trip?olddochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467958592320642425noreply@blogger.com
