Dear Editor:
As our Mayor Cory Booker campaigns for Senator Barack Obama , here in Newark we would like you to know that our city is not one of change that Booker also ran on ,but one of more of the same old same old! Booker as you will see is great orator and has charm all of his own,but here in Newark we know crime is out of control(although he will tell you it is down skewed statistics-by the way he accused Sharpe James the previous Mayor of doing it now he is) neighborhood services that don't work garbage litters our streets and doesn't get picked up on regular times, hundreds of layoffs,hospital closings that he claims he was not aware that they were in such a critical condition and has not been a real advocate of our public schools.
So there you have it only a brief synopsis of some of the problems that our Mayor of change was supposed to help cure! Oh also our Mayor loves to leave our city and spends time going all over the country and our neighboring towns to promote himself! Many feel this position is just a stepping stone for a bigger office like senator! Well ,there you have it the only thing our Mayor surely has changed and that is Area codes last week he was in in the 512 area code Austin,Texas campaigning for Obama this week he will be in the 614 Columbus ,Ohio area code usually he is the 212 or 646 area code in NYC or 908 central New Jersey area code by the way if you could ask him when he plans on being in the 973 Newark area code being our full time mayor he promised us he would be - we here would all appreciate that. I guess it was "Just Words" and not really about change!I So much for change! It makes you wonder is this what Obama is all about too after all he does have Booker campaigning for him.
