Community Power Meeting With The Mayor

June 30, 2008 - Meeting with the Mayor

Community Power will be meeting with the Mayor this evening at his office. We will be revisiting several agenda items that were part of our intitial meetings with him several months ago. We have also extended the invitation to Chief Osborn, Sgt. Alvarez, Officer Martinez (Sgt Martinez?) and Lisa Clifford of www.support287g.com. Several "pre-meetings" have spontaneously taken place in an effort to set expectations for the 6pm meeting, and it has been extremely positive to see the dialog (in the truest sense) which seems to be the growing intention of both sides as we begin to open up and discuss the issue collaboratively.

We are excited to work through the things that divide us so that we all can implement that which is only attainable by us working together. And I believe that Suffern is about bust open with creative ideas, online communities, new technologies, new green solutions, and ultimately a growing and healthy community of active and contributing citizens. And when all is said and done regarding the 287g issue, it doesn't matter who was for it or who was against it. It is about whether or not there is true integration of ALL citizens in Suffern such that there would be no fear of abuse or mismanagement regarding something like the implementation 287g.

Most importantly, facilitating a better relationship with Latinos in Suffern will only strengthen our overall citizen network of awareness and collaboration. Lisa of www.Support287g.com, we really hope you can make this meeting. We are dying to meet you! :)

Sincerely,
Community Power
