Coming this week on CNBNews, an article on Monday about what we recently discovered at the Gloucester City Southport site.

Also on Monday,

• Gloucester City School Board candidate Joe Shili explains why he is seeking election to the Board of Education.
• COMMENTARY: Sandy Anniversary- Still Money to Spend, Will It Be Spent Right? 
• GLOUCESTER CITY PD HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS FOR TRICK OR TREATING

CNBNEWS asked the candidates, if elected, how would they help improve living standards for the people in their district? We wanted to know their views on Common Core, Obamacare, and the ongoing Wars in the Middle East? Plus we asked how would they end the gridlock in Washington? And lastly do they support President Obama’s handling of the economy and foreign policy?

\”Cannot swords be turned to plowshares? Can we and all nations not live in peace? In our
obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?\”
