Good morning, Blogolanders. I've been off-line for a longish time because, very frankly, the weather depresses me. Last Saturday, hoping to feel better since it wasn't raining, I drove around our fair city and arrived home feeling even more depressed. Except for a few lovely neighborhoods, Trenton is dirty, seedy, run-down, uncared for, and unloved.
And Trentonians continue to shoot each other while there are screams for, "more police." Like more police will change behavior. Has no one noticed that there are no shootings in the, "nice," neighborhoods?
Then the Honorable Mayor decided to throw a few parties for which we, the taxpayers, will foot the bill. Why is no one at city hall screaming like hell about these costs? Why is no one gathering at city hall on tax day chanting, "Hell, no, we won't pay till we get our say?" That is known as civil disobedience and is held in high regard, The taxpayers in Trenton will bitch and moan but do nothing.
Let's finish with the hotel. Michael McGrath resigned from the Lafayette Yard board. Michael is an honest man who can not be sold bull shit. So now there is no one on the board with balls that I know of. And the state is not going to rush down the street with several million dollars to save our ass.
If you are truly concerned about the financial state of our fair city, I urge you to call your councilpeople and urge them to vote against the bond issue. I'm wondering who will buy these bonds anyway. I, for one, would not buy a thirty dollar bond issued by the City of Trenton.
While I am not ready to flee to some age-restricted, gated community, I do sometimes feel what Trenton needs is several gallons of gasoline and a match. Burn it out and start all over again.
