21 - Wed - Council sellout tonight?... UCIA may redevelop four sites... Budget showdown coming?... Booker wins, meets, parties...

*
Somewhat abbreviated today as I have a business appointment this morning. Be sure to check back after 10:00 AM for the post on the Council's redevelopment moves slated for tonight. Also, will pull together a roundup on the Census update stories for tomorrow -- Dan

Since the Green / Moriarty / Sweeney proposal has helped ignite the state budget debate, all State Budget stories will be posted in the Plainfield section for the duration. -- Dan
