Elm Dodge on CBS Evening News
May 23, 2009 (Kearny NJ) Elm Dodge has made the national news with a feature story on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. Elm Dodge has been a fixture on Kearny Avenue for over 60 years and its owner Greg Signore is understandably upset that his dealership is being closed down by Chrysler. Elm Dodge is one of eight hundred Chrysler dealers being closed.
Can someone explain how closing 800 dealerships is going to save Chrysler? Doesn't the dealer purchase vehicles from Chrysler and then sell them? Why would you want 800 less purchasers?

Christie v. Corzine / Leadbeater v. Santos
June 3, 2009 (Kearny NJ). There were not a lot of surprises locally on Primary Election Day. Chris Christie won the Republican Primary for Governor and will face incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine in the November General Election. In Kearny, John Leadbeater won the Republican Primary for Mayor and will face incumbent Democrat Alberto Santos. Santos has a full slate of council candidates running with him. Leadbeater has no council candidates on the ballot with him. Apparently nobody submitted to run in the Republican primary for council. Someone should have written themselves in and accepted the nomination and they would have been a candidate in November.
