Letter to Bloomfield From BOE Prez: Join the Fight for Our Community

This letter was submitted by Board of Education President Mary Shaughnessy, who invited Bloomfield residents to attend a September 30 symposium that focuses on critical issues impacting local communities.

 

Hi folks,

I am increasingly learning that many of the changes we want in our community have to be addressed at a state level.

Please join me and other Bloomfield residents in our township's first effort to join with other suburban communities just like ours to bring the federal and state resources needed to promote livable towns that are governed by citizens instead of deep pocketed developers and to protect our public schools from profit-driven takeover.

I would be honored by your company on Sunday, Sept. 30. Please come and see what can happen when hundreds of people from all over the state come together to help shape their hometown destinies. Please come and watch democracy at work!
