Please sign the petition for Common-Sense Affordable Housing Reform. We need to end the current costly, inefficient and inconsistent court mandated affordable housing process currently being imposed on us.

Proud to know all of our honorees (Jim Checchio: Male Volunteer, Kelly Price: Female Volunteer, and Patrick's Downtown Race To Summer 5k: Organization of the Year) and I am grateful for the selfless service, commitment and dedication to our community. https://t.co/CaOxM4NFYl

This is a significant step for downtown redevelopment. It's the first grocery store in decades, a new tax ratable, and will create 100 new jobs in town. The Park and Ride will also be a significant boost to our downtown providing a transportation hub. https://t.co/W3lMv2T9cC

Builder’s remedy lawsuits allowing high density projects like Parker Gardens have been forced upon us by Courts. Come to the 9/19/19 Affordable Housing Committee meeting at 7pm at Town Hall to join us to fix this broken process. https://t.co/st18d4L8DV

September is #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth. Sadly, most people are unaware of this deadly disease that women are not being tested for. This disease kills 70% of women diagnosed with it because it's mainly diagnosed late stage. Please retweet to educate and save lives.

With so many great towns in NJ, it is an honor for Scotch Plains to be ranked among the 100 Best Places to Live in the state. As we implement our downtown redevelopment plans, I expect more people will target Scotch Plains as the place they want to live.

Reports once again rank NJ roads worse in the nation. After all the gas tax hikes, and threats to raise the gas tax again next month, our roads have not improved. It's time to cut spending and get our state government budget under control.

Be sure to come out for Live Band Karaoke Night on August 26, 2019 on the Village Green from 7:30pm to 9:30pm! I'll be singing some Tom Petty. #ScotchPlainsItsHappening #SPKaraokeNight

[Mayor Al Smith @alsmithmayor]

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the Mayor's 0.5k Race - The Anti 5k yesterday! Together we raised over $1,000 to benefit METAvivor, a nonprofit that supports research for men and woman battling Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer.

Our hearts go out to the families of the victims in this, another tragedy in America. Flags in Scotch Plains will be flown at ½ staff as a mark of solemn respect for the victims in these terrible acts of violence. (2/2)

[Scotch Plains @scotchplainstwp]

The Mayor and Council of the Township of Scotch Plains vehemently condemn the actions taken over the weekend in Texas and Ohio. There is no place in our society for these senseless acts of violence. (1/2)

[Mayor Al Smith @alsmithmayor]

Nice of the Governor to sign this. However, instead of making us aware of property tax relief programs, how about we fully fund them and provide actual property tax relief? https://t.co/PGa25s6SeD

[Mayor Al Smith @alsmithmayor]

Medical marijuana is not covered by any prescription plan or any subsidy. That means poor people, working people, cancer patients, & veterans have to pay more in cash. We don't tax any other legal medicine. It's immoral to tax medical marijuana. https://t.co/1KHrIIEz1o

[Mayor Al Smith @alsmithmayor]

Even after hiking the gas tax, our roads and infrastructure are still in bad shape. Where is our money going? The entire State Government should be audited. We should demand accountability. https://t.co/WoIIsjLxkj @BillSpadea

Great time at the Play for P.I.N.K. golf tournament on Wednesday at Shackamaxon to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Remembering my wife Geri and Rose Checchio who both succumbed to breast cancer. Good to see Rose's sister Angela and her friends.
