Letters: Brooklawn Council Candidate Questions Incumbent Perks

 

I was reading the Gloucester City News headlines on ClearysNoteBook.com this morning \"Images\" and I read that
 
\”Brooklawn council passes resolution to curtail official perks\”
 
What perks would they be talking about? Any ideas? Did they think cheating on their taxes was a perk?
I am really curious about this, and at the next council meeting I intend to ask what perks they intend to \”curtail\”, as I was not aware the position of Mayor or Council Person does, or should, have any additional \”perks\” to it.
 
I know they get a small stippen at the end of the year, not sure the exact amount of it. I got one many years ago as well, as I remember it was around 1200.00 I think. If they still do that, I intend to donate mine back to a fund I want to get our ambulance moving towards soft billing and keeping money in town, but aside from that, I am not aware of any other \”perks\” that should or do come with the position. This headline is most curious.
 
These so called \”Perks\” are what leads to \”career politicians\”, which makes for bad government and does not provide proper representation. It promotes self gain and personal interest which is never good for governing bodies.
 
I am running for councilman, because I wish to represent the people of my town and their best interest which happen to include my own interests. I do not wish to obtain \”perks\” for being elected to do so. Any one seeking public to obtain \”perks does not deserve the position or your vote.
 
If you agree, please pass the email along to friends and neighbors. I ask that you consider my position on issues on this town and consider me for the office of town councilman. I am asking for your vote on Nov 2nd. More importantly I am asking that you make an \”informed decision\”. Proper representation is something we should all have. As council person or Mayor, you should always be of the mind that you are a \”public advocate\” selected by the people you represent. I plan to do exactly that and nothing short of that is acceptable to me.
 
If you agree, please pass this along and consider voting for Earl Foster for Brooklawn Borough Council on Tue, Nov 2nd.
 
Sincerely
 
Earl Foster

Video: Pennsauken, Meet a Real School Hero

 Kerry McHugh-Moles is proud of her hometown, her school district, and her profession. And she isn’t waiting for Superman. She believes that Pennsauken’s public schools are full of supermen and superwomen, who can change the course of children’s lives, mold minds with their chalk-dusted hands, and—while disguised as mild-mannered teachers—fight a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and public education.

Election 2010: Councilman Marchese Urges Voters to Re-Elect Incumbents

Vote Democrat and allow the Incumbent Candidates to complete what they started.

 I would like to ask the voters of Gloucester City to vote for Mayor William James on \"Unknown\" November 2nd. I ask that our current Mayor remain as our future Mayor. Bill James has shown his leadership abilities and his commitment to making Gloucester a better place to live. Having a full time Mayor who helps attend to the day to day activities of the city as well as the long term future projects goes above and beyond what can be normally be expected of any Mayor. Bill has helped the city immensely over the past four years. I am proud to be serving and working alongside Mayor James and this team and look forward to what we will be accomplishing in the near future.

Kellie Ferry is our Third Ward Incumbent Council Candidate and the driving force behind our City Celebrations Committee. She has been able to revamp many of the city’s events even with a shrinking budget. Her attention to detail and love for the city and the people who live in the city help her to be a valued member of this Council. One I whole heartily support and ask for your continued support of this fine person as Third Ward Councilwoman.

John Hutchinson has been a big help with the Southport Project, Police contract negotiations and our Housing Department. 

I also support Bruce Parry as our Second Ward Incumbent Council Candidate. Bruce is a valued member of City Council while serving on our Public Works, Celebration and Fire Committees. He has helped the City’s Fire Committee by working very hard to enhance our Volunteer Fire Fighters Department while providing valuable input and experience in the negotiations with our Paid Fire Department. Bruce has been of great value in the rehabilitation project of Chatham Square and has dedicated himself to helping change this complex into the new Townhouse facility know now as Meadowbrook Mews. Bruce’s dedication to Gloucester City is evident by his strong work ethic, his ability to listen to the citizens and tax payers and respond to their needs.

Thank you,

Councilman Nicholas Marchese

Guest Post – Surviving Breast Cancer | Dishwater Dreams

I’ve tried to begin writing this post and I’ve had a difficult time finding what to say, a \"Beryl-beginning-chemo\" fact that is, I must confess odd for me, and probably pretty remarkable to my family. Rarely do I have a problem talking. This may be because in October, Breast Cancer Awareness month, the world is full of pink. In restaurants, department stores and even gas stations, breast cancer promotions abound and everywhere I look I seem to be surrounded by pink ribbons. Now don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled that so many businesses support Breast cancer research and I certainly don’t want that to stop. However it does serve as an almost constant reminder of my journey. It’s a bit of a double-edged sword when a survivor is reminded of her cancer, even by those supporting a cure. It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it, I just refuse to let my cancer define who I am. Yes, I am a Breast Cancer Survivor, but I am also a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a scrapbooker, a teacher, a planner, an artist, a writer, a computer geek, a blogger, a walker, a chocoholic, maker of a pretty mean lasagna, ice-cream junkie, and an excellent Trivial Pursuit partner (just no sports questions).  

 
Sometimes the whole \”Survivor\” thing feels odd. I just did what the physicians said to do. Surgery, chemotherapy, drugs, whatever, I just wanted to fight cancer as much as I could, and move on. I have too much to do to let something so crappy stop me. Of course, I researched procedures, drugs and such, but the medical personnel are really the magic ones, I will always be grateful to the team of people that took care of my health. I do wear my scars and my Survivor label proudly.
