A new guest Blogger

Recently my friend and fellow Active Rain blogger - Lorrie Semler of Addison Texas - mentioned that her Mom, former Passaic NJ Mayor - Margie Semler, enjoyed writing opinion pieces on North Jersey life and politics. Seeing a natural tie in for my We Love North Jersey group here on Active Rain, I asked Lorrie if she might be able to convince her Mom to write some pertinent posts here on our blog pages. Well, apparently Margie is not a real big computer person, so she's allowed me the honor of posting her words here on my blog. So without further delay.....ladies and gentleman, I present the former Mayor of Passaic NJ,

Margie Semler

The Herald News 2/6/09 article "Assembly OKs budget delay" indicates that our representatives in the Trenton Assembly continue to dilly- dally about finalizing the state budget.

Their delay has a domino effect for all local cities that have fiscal year budgets. These communities have, therefore, been unable to pass their own budgets. Taxpayers in Passaic have again received another estimated tax bill for the third quarter and still do not know what the final amount will be for fiscal 2008-09.

These latest tax bills arrived so late that payments aren't due until the last week in February. That, in turn, means that later collections will not accrue the needed interest for the city.

If these legislators aren't up to making tough and timely decisions, then they don't belong in public office.

We look forward to future blog posts by Mayor Semler!

The day the music died...

50 years ago today - February 3, 1959 - the day the music died....

An American icon, Rock N' Roll pioneer and legend, Buddy Holly, was tragically killed in an airplane crash along with fellow musical stars of his era - Ritchie Valens and JP "The Big Bopper" Richardson - while on a  winter tour. The small single engine aircraft that carried the entertainers crashed in a snow covered corn field outside of Clear Lake, Iowa. Fortunately Holly's music didn't die that day...in fact his music had a great influence on many musical artists who followed. Here's a video of Holly and his group "The Crickets" performing live in NYC....enjoy!
