thank god for Hammonton First. I was told Mayor Johnny personally tutored every disadvantaged student and moved them up to the honor roll, without raising taxes!
Is it true that John Didonato also makes blind people see and older people young again? We need more Didonato's appointed to positions in the school district so our scores can rise even higher.
I guess Finance Chaiman Steve DiDonato the Business Adminstrator Barbara Prettyman are doing a pretty good job over there. We don't hear about having to send Waterford millions of our tax dollars anymore. They use that money for our kids.

The mayor is looking to evict all those disadvantaged students with all the current push with government intruding into property owners and tenants rights.
