War against Chief Santiago blowing up in Mayor's face?

Plainfielders may well wonder what is up with the cancellation of Trenton police director Joe Santiago's presentation to the City Council Tuesday evening.

Is Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs retooling?

Perhaps.

If Joe Santiago was to be her administration's H-bomb in the attempt to win the war for the hearts and minds of Plainfielders as she presses her attack on Chief Ed Santiago, he may just have turned into a dirty Neutron Bomb -- leaving the Green/Robinson-Briggs crew looking like one of those old-time movie characters after the cigar blows up in their face.

Of all people in the known world to enlist in a project to convince people that it is better to have politically appointed -- and susceptible -- folks running your police department, the question on everyone's mind is: Why Joe Santiago?

We'll be coming back to this one later, with a grab-bag of illustrations Robinson-Briggs may not be happy she provoked.
