PLAINFIELD TODAY: My personal take on Plainfield: news, views, gossip and sightings.
PLAINFIELD EVENTS: The online calendar for Plainfield events, performances, and meetings.
MIA: As I said yesterday, I like to check the print editions. There were two Ledger stories in
print but not online. Westfield cop and Plainfield resident Sandy Chambers was penalized
by an independent moderator with the loss of 15 vacation days for fixing a ticket issued
to her son. The other concerns skullduggery afoot in Hillside, involving that town's first
Black woman mayor. The article was typed up by reader JK, to whom many thanks,
and is posted on Plainfield Today.
