Editorial:
How Fair Is This, 'Joe the Plumber'?...There are several casualties of the recent financial debacle. One that we’ve heard recently from many residents regards savings for college tuitions. The story goes like this: "My wife and I have played by all the rules over the last several years. We sacrificed, worked hard, done without and saved for our children’s college education. The collapse of the financial market leaves us unable to pay for the college tuition next year when our child graduates from high school. Along with this, we won’t qualify for substantial aid. How fair is this?"

CERT-ainly...Fanwood Mayor Colleen Mahr, approaching podium, honors uniformed members of Fanwood’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for recently completing their training in first aid, fire safety, search and rescue and other skills. “It really takes a strong commitment,” the mayor said. “There really is no greater treasure than the men and women who step up and give back to the community.” Mayor Mahr said CERT volunteers serve as “an additional resource to our trained personnel” during a crisis or emergency situation.

Government Reform Thought:
Union County voters should be given the opportunity next year to decide, through referendum, whether they want to continue to elect their freeholders at-large or switch to districts similar to a city ward system. The current Democratic majority does not want to change while the Republicans want to change. Let's let the people decide.
