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?!

It’s going to be very interesting to see how many cuts the New Democratic-controlled city council makes with the New Democratic-controlled budget, one that was defeated by the public. Clearly the public realizes there’s an abundance of New Democrats with very high-paying jobs on the Board, and also that there are more politics being played at the School Board than there is at City Hall.
Are they going to cut school services and teachers? Or will they get rid of political appointments over at the Board of Ed?
Here we talk about the School Board candidates, but no one is discussing the high-salaried individuals that the Superintendent brought with him. In discussing his salary and benefits, along with those be brought along with him from FL, those benefits and salaries, along with the New Democratic employees brought on board this past year, we’re talking almost $2 million in salaries and benefits!
I’m happy to see that the ministers as well as the gay community did not feed into one of the bloggers who tried to create a problem out of nothing between these two communities. The public needs to stand up and make it clear that they will not tolerate these types of actions. The current administration respects all peoples’ rights, and it’s nice to know that no one’s rights will be violated by the current administration. Where this current administration has shown respect to the gay community, the past administration has shown no respect whatsoever.
It was embarrassing to the gay community in how Adrian Mapp recently put down the former governor of NJ, Jim McGreevy. Everyone in the 2nd ward knows that the former governor has built a great relationship with the New Democrats as well as the McWilliams family. I can see Adrian Mapp trying to play to the church community hoping to win their support by putting distance between he and the former governor. I wonder if this was his buddy Dan Damon’s idea.
