TRAC has run off the tracks

CREEP, the Committee to Re-elect Palmer, is proud to announce its extreme displeasure with the further meddling of a little-known band of Trenton malcontents who continue to harass and intimidate our fearless mayor and his superior city administration.

Their latest meddling comes in the form of an ordinance petition that seeks to install oversight measures on the way city-owned vehicles are used by Trenton’s officials.

The Trenton Residents Action Coalition’s initiative is a total affront to the supreme, infallible leadership of Mayor Palmer, Business Administrator Dennis Gonzalez, and the rest of the administration, and we condemn it.

Trenton’s citizens have elected this administration and have therefore turned over all power and decision-making to this bunch, which has done nothing but improve Trenton since 1990.

This ordinance infringes upon city officials’ ability to travel wherever they please in city-owned, city-fueled vehicles, a right they have earned by entering the public sector and having the public serve them.

Trenton’s citizens have no right to know how these vehicles are being used, and what’s more, city officials have a right to have a city-owned, fueled, and insured vehicle to travel around Trenton’s 7.5-square-miles.

It was encouraging to read today’s Times piece, where it was clear that Gonzalez thinks nothing of the ordinance because he hasn’t even really read it yet.

We hope City Council rejects this oversight measure, as the public should do when it comes to a vote in May of 2010.

Mayor Palmer and his people are always right, and no one needs to monitor what they’re doing and where they’re going.

CREEP supports water works sale

In light of continued delays in Mayor Palmer’s magnificent plan to sell off the Trenton Water Works, CREEP leadership wanted to take some time today to reiterate its support of the plan, which fits perfectly with our leader’s “zero revenue/zero ratables” by 2020 plan.

In case you didn’t know, Mayor Palmer and his administration continue work on his plan to completely eliminate all of the City of Trenton’s ratables and revenue sources, to become completely dependent upon state handouts by the end of the next decade.  While many scoffed at this plan behind closed doors, it is really beginning to pay dividends, as evidenced by the fact that Trenton raises only 10 percent of the revenue needed to support municipal services through property taxes.

While the Trenton Water Works is not your typical revenue-producer, it has produced sizable surpluses in its current form that have been problematic in that they have been used in the city’s general budget to fund municipal services.

This is obviously a problem, given Mayor Palmer’s vision of “all state money, all the time.”

The only appropriate remedy to this situation is the mayor’s plan to sell off the profitable suburban portions of the system, promising to render the remaining city network of plants and pipes insolvent in a few years’ time.  At that point the city can sell off the remaining system to private entities, completely relieving Trenton of all revenue-producing ability.

The citizens fighting this major initiative are misguided and are preventing the city from reaching a zero-ratable, zero-revenue status by 2020.

They must be stopped.

Meeting update

An organizational meeting will be held at Mayor Palmer’s Hunterdon County residence on Oct. 31, 2009, Halloween, our ghoulish mayor’s favorite holiday.  Residents wishing to attend the meeting should contact the mayor’s executive protection squad at City Hall.

They will providing around-the-clock transportation in city-owned vehicles fueled by city-bought gasoline while on overtime for parties attending the meeting, which is of utmost importance.

As an alternative to contacting the executive protection squad, interested parties may contact City Council President Paul Pintella or shill Juan Martinez for transportation to Mayor Palmer’s sprawling, Hunterdon County estate.

Both Juan and Mr. Pintella will be driving city-owned vehicles and picking up attendees from two locations – the million-dollar South Ward police precinct on South Broad Street and the Manex Entertainment Studios complex in the city’s East Ward.  The success of the two locations symbolize the importance of reelecting Mayor Palmer and continuing Trenton on its present course.

Our creed

- Poor leadership under Doug Palmer is better than good leadership under anyone else.

- Ineffective public policy while Mayor Palmer holds all the strings of power is crucial to keeping Trenton the way it is.

- Anyone who goes against the status quo – which must be maintained – must be marginalized and discredited, preferably through appealing to race- or class-based themes.

- Improved quality of life must be fought at all costs, because it only threatens the status quo.

The only guaranteed way of living up to this creed is to keep Mayor Palmer in power and re-elect him in 2010.
