* Observer Ignores Harrison's Mayor & Council Meeting

[JohnPinho]

The Observer has apparently decided that it will not publish an article on Harrison's September Mayor and Council meeting. This week's Observer also did not contain any correction of the inaccuracies contained in its article on Harrison Councilman Steve McCormick's filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. As a previous post noted, the Kearny Journal covered the meeting last week. The Observer reporter apparently got paid for attending the meeting but either did not turn in an article or her article was suppressed by the Observer's editor, Celeste Regal.

The next Harrison Mayor and Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. (Caucus) and a 7:00 p.m. (Council meeting) at the Harrison Town Hall, 318 Harrison Avenue, Harrison, New Jersey. The Caucus is held upstairs on the 3rd Floor. There is usually a lot of interesting discussions at the Caucus because the Councilmembers actually discuss agenda items prior to the formal meeting. Usually not many members of the public attend the caucus. The Caucus however is open to the public and if enough members of the public attend the Caucus has to be moved downstairs into the Council chambers because of a violation of the fire code. The Harrison Fire Chief usually attends the caucus and he would be obligated to inform the Mayor and Council of the violation and the necessity to move the meeting.
