William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ Sept. 8, 2024)--Last week, while walking Peyton, we saw smoke coming from the area of the two white buildings near the Wawa in the 1300-unit block of Market Street. As we walked past the Cold Springs School complex, a strong wind blew smoke into the school grounds. At times, the smoke was so thick that we couldn't see; my eyes were tearing, and it was causing me and Peyton to choke. My COPD made the situation worse, intensifying my coughing. As we got closer to Market Street, we found the source:... Read more →

CNBNews graphics JEER—CNBNews, I wanted to bring to your attention some concerns about the situation on Thompson Ave. There is a house where the owner is turning the garage into an apartment without obtaining the necessary permits. The person connected electricity to the garage by using an extension cord from the house to the garage and buried the cord in the ground. For water, the man connected a garden hose from the cellar, ran it to the garage, and buried the hose in the ground. Both the electrical and water hookups seem unsafe to me. The property remains poorly maintained,... Read more →

WILLIAM E. CLEARY SR. | CNBNews Editor GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (August 15, 2024)--A CNBNews editorial released August 8, 2024 discussed the disbandment of the Woodynne Police Department and speculated that more police departments in New Jersey and across the nation might unite to address the high costs associated with union contracts for rank and file officers and salaries for top police department officials. That CNBNews opinion included a reference to the $185,000 salary for the part-time police chief that Mayor Dayl Baile and the City Council approved.

First published September 21, 2022 William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNewsnet GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (CNBNewsnet)(September 21, 2022)--Twelve years ago, we looked at the housing market in the City of Gloucester City. Former Mayor William James and the council were worried as blight was absorbing sections of the city. They were concerned too about the number of homes converted into apartments. The numbers today reveal that rental properties have increased from 1946 to 2,987 in 2022, or 1,041 more, according to records acquired in an OPRA request by CNBNews. When you compare the number of rentals to the number of residences... Read more →

In a previous CNBNews editorial, we strongly condemned the Mayor and Council for their failure to hire a full-time City Administrator, a crucial position in any administration. We vehemently criticized the governing body for paying the current part-time City Administrator and part-time Police Chief, Brian Morrell, an excessively high salary of over $225,000. After our editorial was published Morrell lashed out at us in a telephone conversation. His tirade was filled with innuendos, screaming, personal attacks, and foul language. At the time, we wondered whether he was in immediate need of anger management. To be fair, Chief Brian Morrell's treatment... Read more →

With the disbandment of the Woodlynne Police Department on Thursday the responsibility of policing the community now falls on the Camden County Police. This change is not unique, as other communities may soon undergo similar transformations. The rising costs, including excessive salaries and benefits, are becoming too much for taxpayers to sustain. For instance, the Gloucester City Police Department is located in one of the poorest communities in the state of New Jersey. Yet, police officers in that city receive an average salary of $127,000, making it the third highest-paid police department in Camden County. The community of Gloucester City... Read more →

It was 40 years ago, and most of the people who were involved have died. As such this reporter is... Read more →

CNBNews contacted Kevin D. Walsh, the Acting State Comptroller in September 2023. We asked Mr. Walsh if some actions taken in 2023 and 2024 by the mayor, council, and the upper echelon of the police department were legal. The following month, the CNBNews Editor, William E. Cleary Sr., was cited for theft and trespassing at Cold Springs Elementary School. The two charges were never proven. Was it just a coincidence? Most likely. But we will never know.

Dorothy Philbin and William E. Cleary Sr. GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (May 18, 2024)(CNBNews)-In the August 24, 2023 edition of the Courier Post, there was a large article about upscale apartments to be built at Freedom Pier. However, nine months later, little activity was observed. I wondered if this is another of the many construction projects planned for the waterfront that have fallen through over nearly 40 years. Many of them were announced right before an election. Once the election was over, the plans were put on the shelf to gather dust. Not too long ago, ClearysNoteBook listed the many failed...

JEER—According to salary.com, the average salary for a Chief of Police in New Jersey is $131,100, with a typical range between $123,800 and $139,100. However, here in Gloucester City, the police chief is paid a salary between $125,000 and $240,000, but for some strange reason, the exact amount of this employee's compensation is not listed. This is a secret being kept from the taxpayers by their elected leaders, and it's unacceptable that such information is not disclosed.
