Public Notice: New Initiative to Restore Trust Among Our Citizens
Friends of Freehold, we are experiencing a temporary crisis that City Hall intends to deal with in an orderly and neighborly manner. The crisis is that many citizens report to me about, shall we say, "less-than-complimentary" activities of other citizens.
The reports I receive are seldom about activities that would require the services of Officer Richards. That is to say, they are not about breaking laws. They are activities that question the moral standing of the parties involved.
It is difficult, sitting in the Mayor's Office, to make judgements about many of these matters. When someone reports to me, "I'm quite sure it was not his wife", or, "It sounded like swearing but I was a few feet away", I am not sure what role I should play in resolving the matter.
I have decided these issues can be best addressed with the new technology now available. I have ordered the installation of space-age equipment called TruthCam™. Several dozen units are being installed today.
These are devices similar to what we would have called in the old days, cameras. They record what people are doing and saying and transmit the images to a Central Monitoring station. Central Monitoring (CM) then removes material taken of our Pastors and City Government elected officials and makes the remaining images available to other interested citizens.
This completely transparent system should put an end to rumors and speculation as to who is, and who is not, conducting their lives in a truly Christian way. I look forward to your participation in this new day for our wonderful City.
Johny Joe Hold, Mayor
