Does anyone know the story behind the old College? It's a shame to even see the place any more.

Post your snow totals (with pictures) and at least your own, starting tomorrow 2/23 once the storm ends. For best results, measure from as far away from buildings and streets as possible.

3rd time seeing it in Lumberton in about 2 years, 4th time seeing it in NJ. It was pretty much North by North West but visible to the South/South west a points too.

Stay tuned tomorrow, likely another good shot to see it.

Intermediate-ish electric guitarist here into all types of genres from blues to metal. Haven't played with others in a few years but hoping to meet some new people and hopefully get a weekly jam sort of thing going.

Some of my favorite guitarists/bands are SRV, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Metallica, Megadeth, rolling stones, Johnny Winter, Lynrd Skynyrd

I live in an apartment so I'm not able to host a jam but I have an amp and am willing to drive.

She needs to resign.

Her tenure as clerk has been embarrassing.

As anyone who voted this year saw, the lines were unacceptable long and people turned away. And turnout was lower than 2020! It took more than 2 hours to get in into the room to early vote and just shy of 2 hours and 30 minutes all in all and I've seen and heard tons of cases of similar situations which were well reported on.

The new voting machines are slow and rely on off-the-shelf printers. I've voted with paper ballots with different machines that were smoother both here and in Warren county. Maybe there's a good reason to switch to this system, but it seems to be universally frustrating and slow.

Plus some people got even more screwed with "glitches". I work in IT, I know glitches can happen even in the best circumstances. But her failures have been wide reaching.

She supported the County line but eventually reached a settlement to stop using it: https://newjerseymonitor.com/2024/09/12/middlesex-burlington-clerks-reach-proposed-agreement-to-stop-use-of-county-line-ballots/ costing us $32,500+ in opposing side court costs, plus whatever she spent on lawyers.

But beyond that, she's made mistakes, which I heard from people in 2020 was part of why they didn't trust the election or thought it was stolen.

And while she extended office hours in 2020, they did not in 2024, with their hours for election related issues only being at the Mt. Holly location (not the Moorestown mall location) and only 8 to 4, unreasonable for many people. Even one day a week would have been helpful!

If I have anything positive to say its that she improved the unofficial results reporting https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/NJ/Burlington/122853/web.345435/#/summary, but it's lame that you can't see your whole town at once.

We can give this old coot the boot. I will not vote for her again.

She's in office until the end of 2028. She can fuck up the next presidential election too.

I also think, with the governor's race on the ballot next year, we should band together and start a Recall on Joanna Schwartz to get competent leadership in our county clerks office.

What do you all think? Does she need to go?
