GREEN: AID FOR PLAINFIELD

(PLAINFIELD) – Assembly Speaker Pro Tempore Jerry Green (D-Plainfield) yesterday welcomed $250,000 in extraordinary aid (from the Dept. of Community Affairs) and $199,401 in municipal aid (unfrozen by the Corzine administration) for the City of Plainfield:

“This is money that was promised to Plainfield to benefit its property taxpayers, so I’m pleased the administration has done the right thing.
I, along with the help of Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs and Bibi Taylor - Director of Administration & Finance, worked with the administration to get this done because denying Plainfield this money would have had a disastrous impact for the city, whether through increased property taxes or severe cuts in vital services.
Money promised to Plainfield should be delivered to Plainfield, and I’m glad to see the correct thing will be done here."

Thank you Mr. Green!

Without your dedicated efforts we would have not received the bounty of these gifts, or the election of President Barack Obama!

Well Done Mr. Assembleyman!
