Montclair's Thoroughly Modern Mayor Says "Text Me"

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

From the early days of Montclair's recent mayoral campaign -- Jerry Fried always did things differently -- like showing up by bike at many of his campaign events. Now we've learned just how much Jerry really wants to be in touch with his constituents.

Besides regular office numbers, Mayor Fried has published a phone number for the purpose of receiving "brief" text messages! Talk about direct access to the top! To learn more about how to contact other members of the Township Government -- the old fashioned way -- click here.

jimmy...

I abhor text-talk. However, lol is either laugh out loud or lots of love--- and really, it can mean loads of love, or anything you and your special friends want it to mean.

Unlike say, real words which tend to have (when used correctly) specific meanings....

.... Showing my age.....

I just got my 3d Quarter estimated tax bill in the mail.

OMFG!

Here's the "money quote" from Joe H's accompanying letter:

"the Township has been slashing expenses and programs in many areas in an effort to keep costs down."

I don't know SMS shorthand for "What a load of horse shit."

WALOHS?
