Word is that Plainfield's new Acting Director of Administration and Finance, Douglas Peck, not only got a $12,000 moving allowance (no bills need be submitted, thank you very much!), he appears to have gotten his first week on the payroll as a freebie, with the taxpayers footing the week's salary though Mr. Peck is still in Ohio.

And Plainfield's well-being is part and parcel of Green's continued political career.

However, I must add, in the interest of public communication, that when I served as station director for Plainfield's public access television channel under the previous administration, I made sure that the League's non-partisan candidate forums were aired over Ch. 74 -- gavel to gavel.
