Camden Mayor Dana Redd considers homeless summit, citywide cleanup, wellness campaign | – NJ.com.

We here at bcal usually just scour the web to find information that we think would be useful to the people of Bayonne and the citizenry as a whole.  This story caught my eye so I felt compelled to comment. My time in the legislature has made me fairly familiar with the legislators. My time in the Department of Community Affairs gave me that same familiarity with Camden. Without going into the detail, the state pours a lot i mean a lot of money into Camden, and in my opinion Mayor Redd is Camden’s last hope. She is an intelligent politician but yet she is also a policy wonk that couple with her pragmatic style makes her the ideal person to lead Camden out of the darkness. My only hope is that the city embraces the Mayor and allow her free hand in making some of the tough  decisions that face that city.
