Tuesday Nite Live

First, The Three Graces were not using their microphones, but what I did hear was not encouraging. The last thing Trenton needs is more affordable housing; this city needs more residents with more disposable income. Apparently, Alex Bethea never heard of the Mt. Laurel Decision, and he's a native Trentonian! I've known about it from the beginning. My feelings about any government providing housing - if you can't afford to live in Princeton, that's your problem not Princeton's. I was also startled to hear Mr. Bethea question the woman from the Rescue Mission about the fact there would be extra money coming in; I guess Mr. Bethea doesn't realize even a rescue mission needs funds for maintenance and improvements. As for Roland Pott - I'm willing to give him a second chance and will say so on April 7. Last night, it seemed too early to comment. The night club is closed; the new venue is a restuarant. By the way, I did get the city's bank statements for the month of January 2011. A nice thick packet. The good news, none appear to be overdrawn. The city does get a crummy rate of interest, but so does everybody else these days. It was a damn good thing Trenton did not sell the water works; it does bring in cash. BUT someone paid a water bill of over $27,000 with a rubber check. No one had any answers; in fact council didn't even know about it. The only council member who seemed interested was George Muschal. A function of city council is watch the municipal purse; maybe they should start doing so. But, please, Trentonians, step up to the plate, start asking questions, start demanding answers. That is the only way things will ever change. Do not be afraid of council. They sit at the pleasure of the voters - that's you and me! Time for coffee.
