Plainfield Shooting in Second Ward

Support Rally for Lieutenant Ken Reid

Please join us in next rally in support of Lieutenant Ken Reid. We will start our rally for justice at Angels for Action, at 209 W. 2nd St. Plainfield at 5:30 pm on Monday 3/14 to gear up for the 8 pm City Council Meeting at 325 Watchung Ave. Plfd. Lt. Ken Reid will address the crowd at this rally.

Let us show the community that once again, we will not tolerate any forms of injustice as we see here displayed with the political assassination and outright discrimination against 30-year veteran Lt. Ken Reid led by department heads and our Mayor who has not publicly addressed our outcries for answers.

We are honored to have Salaam Ismiall from National United Youth Council, Inc., a strong community activist leading the way for us to demand that the injustices against our brother in blue, Lt. Ken Reid cease now!

We Support Lieutenant Ken Reid!

We ask the community to rally behind Lt. Ken Reid, a 30 year veteran who has dedicated his life to serving on the Plainfield Police force. We demand answers for the community! There is an injustice occurring against Lt. Reid.  We want to know why is Lt. Reid being singled out, harassed and why he is being pressured into retirement? Why is he being threatened with getting demoted? Lt. Reid is more than deserving of his title that he earned serving the public all his life. Why is he being threatened with six months without pay? Why has someone been placed in this department to get rid of those that don’t fall in line? Are these orders from our Mayor? If so Mayor, you will not get away with this!

Let us say as a community, you cannot shakedown pillars to our community! We should as a community, stand and say – Enough is Enough! Please come and show your support for Lt. Ken Reid on Wednesday, 3/9 at 1 pm in front of Plainfield Courthouse at 325 Watchung Ave.  Lt. Reid has been there for us, and now it is time to be there for him!

Horizons - Flooded Basement Apartments

Flooding on 2/24/16

Apparently, city officials finally did take heed into tenant's ongoing complaint at the former Tepper's building. To think we were even accused of making things up, really? Yes, there are basement apartments at the Horizons and it is shocking to know that no one from the city knew this. What is more shocking and disappointing, is that the tenant who wishes to remain anonymous had all requests for help ignored, both by building management and city officials since October of last year. See OPRA request submitted to the administration that went unanswered and also letter sent to Plainfield Action Services (PAS) where our Mayor was copied (dated last year):

Nevertheless, we are happy to be informed that the city and building officials finally listened and are now looking into these mysterious basement apartments at Horizons that no one knew about. Stay tuned for updates and don't forget, The Pulse of Plainfield is here to advocate for the community.

Follow your own rules Plainfield!

Please stay tuned for updates on our campaign trail! A campaign is nothing without the will of the people. Let us put community first before everything and let us be a city where everyone counts!
