April 19, 2008. Most of the residents in vicinity of Midland Avenue in Kearny awoke this morning to a bright Saturday morning. The sun is out, the wind is calm and for those lucky enough to have someone already brewing the coffee, the smell of coffee arouses the senses. Local volunteer residents are conducting their annual Passaic River Cleanup. Kearny is a relatively quiet today but that may change soon. According to published reports, the Air Pegasus Helicopters LLC plans to construct a Helicopter Heliplex in Newark alongside Route 21 (McCarter Highway) directly across from Midland Avenue in Kearny.
According to Steven Trenk, Managing Director of Air Pegasus Helicopters, “This is an important project to bolster Newark’s plan to increase public safety and to help reinvigorate economic development in this community. I am proud that we are able to take the lead in a project that I know is right for the community, right for the Newark Police Department, and right for the City of Newark.”
April 29, 2008. Mayor Raymond McDonough denied again that he was involved in anyway with the theft of quarters by former Superintendent of Public Works William Tanski. This was the second time that McDonough denied any involvement with the theft. The Mayor seemed agitated by the questioning from Councilman Steven McCormick during the April 11th Special Council Meeting. William Tanski was a close friend of Mayor McDonough. McDonough was known to visit Tanski early in the morning at the Public Works garage to discuss town business.
