I can see that this will interest a lot of people. Maybe we can all come together for the good of our community regardless of our personal political views.
This is going to be a great program that will involve everyone from seniors to our kids.
We have to become a community again, for the sake of our children.
Thank you Mrs. Polk, Mayor St. Amour and the full committee for creating this for our community. We're looking forward to Community/Green Day and several of the programs that will be offered. The website set up is awesome too.
What is community/green day? Don't tell me this freak is going to take over community day and make it meatless and weird? I have never seen her at community day in the past...but election time is nearing, how convienient, green day keep mullica green, sounds like electioneering to me, especially using the same logo. You won't print this, but I hope someone takes your whole bunch to the state.

Why don't you take the time and click the link to Sustainable Mullica? It seems like a wonderful,bi-partisan project that will benefit all of Mullica.
I think you are disgusting referring to Ms.Polk as a "freak". She is about the only person in town who judges no one and has a kind word and hugs for all. I'm sure she will never grab the hamburger out of your nasty mouth even though she managed to take control of the town out of your hands and the hands people like you.
The people in this town are starting to wake up. We all want something better for our kids than what we've been offered in the past.
Ms. Polk would welcome you with open arms to this group because she believes there is good in everyone.
She's a much bigger person than I am because I would never want to be in the same room with you or waste my time searching for your little atomic particle of "good".
RE 8:34 am
You are a prime example of the vicious mindset that my vote for Sue Polk helped defeat.
She is making a big difference in this town already in the few short months that she's been in office.
It is not her intention to outlaw meat in Mullica but I think that the substance that you ingested or smoked before you wrote your comment is probably illegal.
Ouch, that really hurt.
Mrs. Polk, you have driven the forces of evil from public office!!! Your light continues to shine to lead our way while providing warmth to the good citizens of Mullica. God Bless You!!!!
There is only one person, that I've heard publicly complain about Sustainable Mullica, who is a regular meateater.(Although her husband enjoys fishsticks on Friday nights)
I can understand why this person would be against anything that might bring the community together. The word "green" and protecting the environment are extremely distasteful to her.
If it was up to her she would ban the letters K,M,G & D,E,P, from the alphabet. Maybe she should demand that the word "green" be removed from supermarkets,TV ads,radio commercials,magazines and the zillion other places it's found to denote eco-friendly products or groups.
Re 5:52 pm
I know you're just being sarcastic,Ms Lovelace.
You seem to take sadistic pleasure in hurting people and try to berate things or groups that threaten your egotistical plans.
8:17 mentions ego. Just who hung her picture in town hall shortly after getting elected? Now that's ego.
I hope Mrs Polk doesn't take Mrs Lovelace seriously. Mrs Lovelace in my opinion is someone who has such a lousy opinion of herself that instead of seeking professional help decides to attack and belittle anyone who has integrity and the respect of others. By doing so she tries to bring them down a few notches or destroy them thus making her feel she is superior in a wierd sort of way.
Mrs POlk has been at least working hard to improve the community and is not on any power trip, She is the complete opposite of the gang she replaced and they dont like it.
8:34 AM-why so bitter? You were involved in politics long enough to know what electioneering is. Just stop, move on.
Sustainable Jersey has been around since February 2009 and the prior administration could have taken part in this if they wanted to, but didn't. Because Sue Polk decided to and thought it was a good idea, it's now "weird".
This is a great program for all communities and Mullica Township can benefit greatly from it.
834 am
I can't see the State even wasting their time to hear such a stupid thing. Mrs Lovelace is just upset because she was the only one who was investigated by the State and found guilty.
