I am currently in Florida, and to see that these were the top stories in the township this week leaves me dismayed. What about the H.S. sports teams and other civic actions. Lets try to promote the positive aspects of Bloomfield a little more in your reporting!

Hey Robert. Sorry you're dismayed. Please note that one of the featured stories above is about a local charity drive, which is very much a positive civic action. Also, featured on the site today are three stories celebrating achievements of high school athletes. So I hope the crime stories don't keep you away from the site. Thanks!
