Makes me think the pendulum will swing the other way soon enough and you and I will be right back where we started.

Then as soon as construction is done he just happens to have a plan for his very own privatized charter school to go on that property. But Camden residents need not fret, he's promising to lease some space back to the public school system. <br /> <br />Meanwhile he has his Camden County lackeys build him his very own hand-picked county police force at my expense to protect HIS interests. Then he holds jobs on the new county force over their heads in order to get extra protection for his hospital. At the same time a rapist runs loose in Camden with no extra officers ordered to protect the residents.<br />At the same time in Trenton, before Camden county residents realize that their PD's will be dismantled to pay for Camden, his left and right hands (Sweeney and Greenwald) propose legislation to withhold state funding to any town that doesn't go along with the hijacking of police departments by party bosses.<br />I don't know how this man is not in jail for racketeering. Aside from every politician, he owns every judge down here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094300924608829227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-2594460859022775272013-01-13T11:21:38.300-08:002013-01-13T11:21:38.300-08:00Reading this is like reliving what happened to Lan...Reading this is like reliving what happened to Lanning Square School in Camden. After our newish building was razed for "structural" reasons, and funding was amassed for rebuilding - all protests were quashed, and staff and students were dumped into already overcrowded schools. Turns out our original school site was right in the middle of another man's big ole riverfront development. Wish us luck.

They are doing the best to elevate him to God status as to get their greedy hands on all of that juicy public ed money. Especially since the same people milked the mortgage industry for all it was worth until they killed it. Now they are doing their very best to leave education as nothing more than a bloody corpse too. <br />God help them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094300924608829227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-72308476457532436182013-01-12T05:32:26.553-08:002013-01-12T05:32:26.553-08:00Thanks for giving PULSE, their courage and intelli...Thanks for giving PULSE, their courage and intelligence a shout out here Duke.
