The lawsuit names Bloomfield Fire Chief Lou Venezia, Walter Coffey, & Bloomfield township as defendants. The township & Venezia, the suit said, failed to punish Coffey for his alleged harassment and allowed the racist environment to continue unfettered.

Those of us who live here & pay attention can attest

Plaintiff’s attorney, “There is unfortunately a racist culture in some parts of the Bloomfield Fire Dept which is known about by the township and allowed to persist by the township for many years.”

At #MontclairSundays I met #NJ11 Candidate Justin Strickland who sounds a lot like me.
"Americans are not happy with their politicians, both Democrats & Republicans, and they’re tired of the same old talk, tired of the same old politicians."

For my friends who do not live in NJ

This is a crowded field of candidates running to fill Sherrill's #CD11 seat.
Gov Murphy's endorsement of Gill should make any anti-machine folks pay attention & look at other candidates.

BONUS: looks like this field will expand again any day now.

Unacceptable anywhere.

Article focuses on the incestuous connections between Trenton electeds & county bosses who often pick those candidates out of oblivion, finance campaigns & get them elected to make sure they do as told once seated in Trenton.

Thank you to my BlueSky supporters.

In a short-span of time and as an Independent in deep blue Bloomfield NJ, I garnered 20% w/ 2,891 folks who voted for me. We are tired of uncontested elections, high taxes and machine candidates.

County power purchases so many ways to get YOUR VOTE 4 THEIR candidate.
Here's a constituent complaint about a text received. He knows that the Dem Party & the Essex County Registrar do not have his cell phone.
I just checked the rolls & found this 2b true.
