One responsibility of every good Mayor is to defend unjust attacks against other Mayors. There is an element out there in every city that wants to take down the person who represents the interests of the ordinary citizen.
That's why I'll be up in Jamaica, IA., about 30 minutes northwest of Freehold, helping my colleague, Mayor LaDonna Kennedy, deal with jack- booted Sheriff in Guthrie County. The Sheriff has a reputation of being jealous of Mayors in that county.
The injustice began when the Sheriff claimed to be looking for someone and walked by the Mayor's house. As if he is a trained Bloodhound, he claimed there was a strong odor of marijuana. Officers went into the house without a search warrant and found what they claimed were packages of marijuana. These are often loose tobacco used for roll your own cigarettes. There were nine plants under lights in the basement they claimed were marijuana. Often, so called marijuana turns out to be tomato plants.
I think I can get this misunderstanding resolved with the County Judge up there who is a Republican and a good friend of mine. I want Mayor Kennedy returned as soon as possible to serving the good people of Jamaica.
