William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (JUNE 16, 2025)(CNBNEWS)--During the caucus meeting on June 16, 2025, Gloucester City Mayor Dayl Baile and the City Council members reviewed two ordinances and an extensive list of 16 resolutions. Among these, one resolution, titled "Designating Salaries for Employees Serving in Titles with Salary Ranges," demanded attention. This document is a crucial step toward transparency in public salary expenditures, shedding light on how taxpayer dollars are spent. While it deliberately omits specific employee names, the resolution still offers a salary breakdown by title that allows citizens to understand exactly how their funds are being utilized. CNBNews took the initiative to connect some names to the titles outlined in the resolution, pulling information directly from the City’s website to enhance public awareness.

UPDATED/CORRECTED William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews Gcity's STREET SWEEPER IS BROKEN--The photo captures a moment earlier this week at the intersection of Sparks and Little Ridgeway Streets, just after the Gloucester City Street Sweeper made its rounds. Unfortunately, this $100,000-plus machine, which should be maintaining the city's cleanliness, is making the streets dirtier than they were before the sweeper passed. It raises an intriguing question: Why hasn’t Public Works Superintendent Alex Tedesco, with an annual salary of $121,000, taken the necessary steps to repair such a vital piece of equipment? Furthermore, as one observes the superintendent's pickup truck, it’s curious that there aren't any markings declaring it as part of Gloucester City Public Works. This absence only adds to the mystery surrounding the city's approach to maintaining the city sweeper that costs nearly half a million dollars.

GUEST OPINION: What's a fair price for a drug that's never developed?
Monday, May 05, 2025

GUEST OPINION By John Stanford This month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will begin meeting with patients who use the 15 drugs it selected for the second round of Medicare price "negotiations" -- including weight-loss treatment Wegovy. CMS will use these discussions to inform the lower prices it'll set for the medicines. What CMS won't address is the growing list of drugs that'll never be developed as a result of government price-setting. It's been less than three years since the Inflation Reduction Act authorized the price negotiation program. Already, several companies have cited the law as a reason for pulling the plug on research programs and treatments for cancer, psychiatric disorders, and other serious conditions. Nearly 50 research programs and 24 drugs have been discontinued since the law was enacted. Thankfully, President Trump just signed an executive order calling on Congress to roll back the Inflation Reduction Act's... Read more →

ELITE POLITICIANS DON'T CARE!
Prescription Drug Prices Are To High For Some Seniors and Disable People

Monday, May 05, 2025

I wanted to share a personal update: I am an 83-year-old man fighting diffuse emphysema and lung fibrosis. Unfortunately, my conditions have worsened. I was using the Trelegy inhaler, but in January, the price for my co-pay skyrocketed from $147 for a three-month supply to $2,000.21 (unbelievable they added 21 cents to the total). That number breaks down to about $700 per month. As you know, for CNBNews graphic files decades, elite politicians in Washington, on both sides of the aisle, have promised to make medications more affordable for senior citizens and those living on fixed incomes, but they have consistently failed to keep those promises. Some will say the Affordable Care Act lived up to that promise, or that Biden's Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program was the savior. Clearly, neither one did anything for me when it came to lowering my recent costs. My doctor has prescribed two more...

Flyweights bring the heat this Saturday! Lia Lewandowski (1-0) returns to the ring in Atlantic City to face gritty veteran Shawna Ormsby (0-2) in a 4-round showdown you won’t want to miss.
