This afternoon, the sitting judge of Union County threw out 90 percent of the complaints that Adrian Mapp filed against the candidates who wanted to run for political office here in the City of Plainfield. Rather than allowing the citizens of Plainfield to make that decision, Mapp tried to use the courts to make that decision.
Adrian Mapp has become the biggest laughing stock in the County of Union. Not only does Plainfield come out a winner from this court decision, but so do the New Democrats. I take my hat off to the McWilliams family, and others, who now do not have to put up with Mapp’s personal agenda if they so choose. He clearly kicked the New Democrats to the curve in trying to bracket with his boss from Roselle, Mayor Garrett Smith.
Adrian Mapp has never been about the City of Plainfield, he has always been about Adrian Mapp and his personal agendas. The New Democrats in Plainfield are a dedicated group of people whose concerns are about Plainfield’s issues, and not about the promotion of Adrian Mapp’s personal agendas.
People around town are already discussing the matter of ‘when will Adrian Mapp declare Republican?’ Now that the voters in Plainfield will have an opportunity to vote for the candidate they feel will sufficiently represent and govern Plainfield for the next 4 years, I am sure that Mapp will receive less votes than any of the other candidates running. His vote turnout will certainly mirror school board member Rasheed Abdul-Haqq’s voter turnout in this past school board election: dead last.

N.S.A. #2: double-talk... Double-Talk... DOUBLE-TALK!!
I would like to respond to Dr. Steve ‘Double-Talk’ Gallon. For starters, I would like to know if Dr. Double-Talk was hired to fulfill the requirements and duties of a superintendent, or if he was hired to conduct damage control. If the answer is the latter, I wish ‘Double-Talk’ luck, that good luck; the type of luck that comes with having a bird ‘poop’ on you. Since he has now become a politician here in Plainfield, I think we, therefore, should begin to hold him responsible for some of the positions he has taken. When you call someone out saying they are putting out lies and misinformation, then you should be able to back up what you are saying.
To blatantly call the Assemblyman a liar, and I’m glad JG hasn't responded to this employee (not even a Plainfield voter), it’s pretty obvious he's blossoming into a joke. My points however are these; did our school district return $400,000 in funding to the State, yes or no? Simple as that, we do not need Dr. Double-Talk to spend anymore of our tax money in printing 4-page letters full of circular discussion. Did a student bring a gun into our school system this year ‘on his watch’, yes or no? The $3 million Assemblyman Green explained, did this happen, yes or no?
The list goes on an on, but I guess if Dr. Gallon, aka Dr. Double-Talk, wants to defend the Board, then I wish him luck. I’m hoping that the Council would ask to LOOK AT HIS CONTRACT…! This is the first time he has been in charge of a district and the Board has given him a $200,000plus contract, a Range Rover that the Board is subsidizing, four females from Florida at $100,000 a piece, a new office fully furnished, and some of his friends are dictating mum being the word regarding his Sweetheart contract.
Mr. Double-Talk, we the City of Plainfield would like you to respond to the truth in this blog. Are any of these facts false in any way? I hope you’re not a gambling man like Adrian Mapp.

Hey Adrian, Plainfield's Not For Sale!
I had an opportunity to read the PolitickerNJ blog today. I was shocked to see how Adrian Mapp is trying to distance himself from Jim McGreevey and the gay community. It’s obvious that Adrian sent a strong message to the gay community in the second ward that McGreevey and his friends have no place in his campaign. But at the same time, he wants them to continue to send him donations, like for example the thousand dollars McGreevey and his partner donated to his campaign.
I’m pretty sure that the ego the former governor has will not allow him to sit back and let Adrian Mapp embarrass him, the gay community, AND Plainfield. McGreevey and the second ward are very smart. Once Annie opted not to run, they decided to sit on the sidelines. This was certainly a smart move on their part because they like the rest of the voters of Plainfield will soon find out the true colors of Adrian Mapp. His apparent creed seems to be, "If I can’t use you, I don’t want to be bothered by or with you."
My understanding is that he met with Carol Brokaw and Eric Watson, trying to get them to join his campaign. He made it clear to both of them that either one can be the next Democratic Chairman of Plainfield. This reminds me clearly of Chicago when President Obama’s seat was ‘up-for-sale.’ I wonder how many other deals Mapp is trying to make to finagle his way into the mayoral seat. Newsflash Adrian, Plainfield’s not for sale.
He’s turned his back on the McWilliams family, McGreevey, the gay community, Carol Brokaw, and Eric Watson. Who’s next?!

New Light Shining BRIGHT
The new Obama grass-root Democrats, a coalition formed during the presidential campaign season, will be working jointly with the Plainfield Democratic Organization to continuously support and promote President Obama’s agendas. They made a good showing at the Democratic City Committee meeting this past Friday. It is reassuring that they are all registered Democrats from every ward and district in the City of Plainfield.
These were the people who knocked on doors and made phone calls for the Democratic slate headed by President Obama here in Plainfield. In this group, we have a new political voice in the city. Mayor Sharon received a large basis of support from the group. When Adrian Mapp’s name was put up for a vote, not one person stood up on his behalf. They knew first-hand that he was nowhere to be found when it came to supporting President Obama as he campaigned for the Presidency. This was the perfect opportunity of these supporters of President Obama to show Mapp how they felt about him and his politics.
There was nothing negative said about Adrian however, nor the New Democrats, at this meeting. The majority of the people in the community want to see this community come together and form a united front. It's sad when people all over the city want to promote unity but are thwarted by a handful in the community who want nothing to do with progress unless they themselves are brains and/or efforts behind the initiative. They simply do not believe in united teamwork and cannot get over the fact that people outside of their circles are just as bright and informed as they are. This is becoming more and more evident in Plainfield as it moves towards positive change. It’s nice to see however that this new coalition is still pushing for unity in this city, but reality seems to dictate that the handful of negative politicos are fully aligned with the group of 1,000 voters who chose not to vote for President Obama. But for me, I’ll take any day, the 15,000 in this city who chose to support President Obama over the 1,000 ‘haters’ (hahaha!) who chose to support platforms that would continue to move our community backwards (McCain/Palin).
Ps
I hope Mr. Green and this new group will not say anything bad about the former New Democrats who in reality were misled and misinformed. They need to lay the blame where it deserves, on the Republican Party. If I were Adrian Mapp, after seeing what went on Friday night, I would become a full-fledged Republican and run in November.
