Plainfield is one of the most diverse cities in New Jersey with a rich and proud history, however we have struggled to find a collective vision for our future – one that serves all our residents. For too long our elected officials have put politics and personal advancement over the needs of our city. Embracing all development as good development, failing to improve our systems and technology to improve services to residents and choosing to ignore their oversight responsibilities with the PMUA as prices remain high and service continues to decline.
Plainfield’s future depends on all of us working together to overcome our challenges and address the needs of residents in all four wards.
We must streamline processes at city hall to improve services to our owner/customers (residents), helping them to comply with important policies without long delays, tedious and redundant forms and processes that ultimately waste precious time and taxpayer money. We must also dramatically improve our inspections and code enforcement to improve our quality of life, help homeowners increase the value of their properties and make our downtown a clean and inviting place to visit. Quality of life issues include working with the police to enforce speeding and illegal dirt bike riding – which is not just dangerous but disturbs the peace of residents trying to enjoy outdoor activities with friends and family.
