England's Royal George is a six-week old infant; Trenton's Royal George is Councilman Muschal. Last week, several of my neighbors cut back and swept up the weeds along the curb on my block. This week, Councilman Muschal and a helper arrived to cut back three overgrown lots. George also trimmed several trees. It was a lot of work - about six hours, give or take. Everything looks neat and tidy.
Blogolanders, in an ideal world, the local government should take care of tasks like this, but we do not live in an ideal world. We live in a city that is broke in a state that is short of cash, with a municipal administration that leaves much to be desired. In a little more than eight months, we will elect a new mayor and a new city council.
Before voting, Blogolanders, PLEASE DEMAND of all candidates their plans to solve the various city problems, and I don't mean vague answers like, "We need more jobs;" We have to improve our eeducational system;" We have have increase our tax base;" We have to fight crime." No shit! But how? That's what, we the voters need to ask; that's what, we the voters need to know.
And where a candidate was born and raised, went to school, what sports played, means nothing. What plans the candidates have matters.
Should you, the voters, decide not to go this route but instead follow the usual campaign crap, then do not bitch and moan if another group of losers gets elected.

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately for the rest of the city, you get only one vote, and not nearly enough of the people think your way.
Next year, Trenton will again throw in for another "HE ONE-UH US!" type of candidate, completely ignoring the Mack-tacular disaster we currently endure.
