I hope that as you are reading this, it is 60 degrees, sunny and finally all of the snow is gone. Once again I would like to thank our Department of Public Works, Police Department, Fire Department and Office of Emergency Management for their outstanding efforts during this very difficult winter. Many of our residents are still experiencing problems with our mail delivery. We have spoken with Assemblyman Lenoard Lance's office, who have been in contact with the United States Postal Office and are promising us that they are doing everything possible to correct the problems.

First I would like to congratulate Mr. Jerry Fernandez and welcome you to the 2014 Springfield Township Committee. Forty years ago my wife Ginnie and I decided to move to Springfield and begin raising our family here. We choose Springfield because of the beautiful charm, excellent schools, and wonderful people that truly make Springfield a great town. I have shared so many wonderful memories here in Springfield that I do not think I would ever be able to call any other place home.
