Former Gloucester Mayor Gorman Fighting A Legal Battle With The City That Elected Him; Battle is Over City Police Department Records

William E. Cleary Sr. | Cleary’s Notebook News

(FIRST published December 2006)—

Reporter’s Note: Since 2004, former Gloucester City Mayor Robert Gorman has been embroiled in a court battle with the City of Gloucester and its Police Department over information he believes should be released under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA). During my research, I discovered a recent decision on these proceedings dated December 14, 2006. A link to that decision appears at the bottom of this article. I must warn you—it is quite lengthy.

According to the legal document, while Mr. Gorman was still Mayor of Gloucester City, unflattering material about him was posted on NJ.com. The document states that Mr. Gorman believed some of these posts were made by Gloucester City Police Officers, possibly while on duty at police headquarters. Apparently, during his time as Mayor, Mr. Gorman asked the Police Department to investigate these allegations. The document also states that “Mr. Gorman believed that the Gloucester City Police Department was trying to harm and/or harass him and now wants to review the results and status of the various internal investigations he requested while he was still mayor of Gloucester City.”

Congressman Van Drew Statement on Operation Epic Fury

Congressman Van Drew released the following statement regarding President Trump’s decision to authorize Operation Epic Fury and the coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes targeting senior leaders of the Iranian regime.”For decades, the Iranian regime has funded terrorism, threatened our allies, and chanted ‘Death to America’ while destabilizing the Middle East,” said Congressman Van Drew. “What we are witnessing now is a decisive response to years of aggression. The leadership of the world’s largest state sponsor of terror has been dealt a powerful blow. We killed one of the most evil men in the world, along with 40 of his cohorts. When America leads with strength, our enemies think twice, and the world is safer for it. Our men and women in uniform performed with extraordinary courage to get the job done. Every American should be grateful for their service tonight. God bless our troops. God bless our allies. And God bless the United States of America.”

Department of Justice sues New Jersey over sanctuary policies

By Chris Wade | The Center Square contributor

(The Center Square) — The Justice Department is taking Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill to court over her efforts to limit the state’s cooperation with federal immigration crackdowns.

A lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court Tuesday, alleges that an executive order signed by Sherrill that barred Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from using state-owned property as staging areas for operations violates federal laws and accuses her administration of “harboring criminal offenders” from law enforcement.

“Governor Mikie Sherill aims to intentionally obstruct federal law enforcement and celebrates thwarting the constitutional obligation of the President of the United States to take care that federal immigration law be faithfully executed,” the DOJ wrote in the 21-page complaint. “Such blatant disregard for federal laws that have been on the books for over three decades is not merely a political statement, but is instead deliberate action that jeopardizes the public safety of all Americans.”

Miller Bill Requiring Transparency Policies for AI Surveillance in Schools Passes Assembly

Today the General Assembly passed legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Cody Miller that would establish clear standards for using artificial intelligence (AI) in school surveillance systems. The legislation comes as school districts in New Jersey and across the country increasingly turn to AI-enhanced security tools, raising important questions about privacy, transparency, and oversight.
“New Jersey should be setting the standard for how emerging technologies are used in our schools,” said Assemblyman Miller (D-Atlantic, Camden, Gloucester). “By requiring clear policies and communication with families, this bill would ensure that schools are transparent about how artificial intelligence is being used and that parents understand what information is being collected and how it is safeguarded.”
Bill A1323 would require boards of education of school districts, as well as boards of trustees for charter schools and renaissance school projects, to adopt policies governing the use of surveillance systems with AI capabilities—if such systems are used—including video cameras, x-ray machines, or body scanners.
The policies would outline what systems are in place, what information is collected, how the information is used and shared in compliance with State and federal law, and how families can access the information.
Schools would also be required to post signage in prominent, public places in buildings and on school grounds notifying the public when AI surveillance is in use, and to distribute the policy to parents and guardians.

YouTube : Remembering Charlie Kirk

WASHINGTON DC (Cleary’s Notebook News)(February 27, 2026)–Last month, Cabinet members of the Trump Administration posted an inspirational tribute to their friend on YouTube. Kirk was shot and killed on September 10, 2025. According to a Wikipedia article, Kirk was an American right-wing political activist. He was assassinated at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was scheduled to speak at an outdoor campus debate organized by Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization he co-founded and led. Kirk, age 31, was a close supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump and a highly influential figure in the MAGA movement.

Delivering $12M in Community Project Funding to South Jersey

Community Project Funding allows Members of Congress to work directly with local leaders to ensure the needs of our congressional district are being met. This year, I was honored to secure nearly $12M in Community Project Funding for South Jersey, including $850,000 for Camden County College.

There’s been a lot of tough news lately, but this funding is a reminder of what can happen when government listens and delivers. From improving flood prevention infrastructure and expanding access to clean water, to supporting new education programs at Rowan University and Camden County College, these investments will make our communities safer, stronger, and more resilient.

I’m Fighting Back Against Trump’s ICE

I came to Congress to uplift America’s workers and make our South Jersey neighborhoods safer, healthier, and stronger. That means fighting back against the harmful actions of Trump’s ICE, delivering federal investments back home, and supporting those who serve our communities and country.

We all have a role to play in strengthening South Jersey. Some march with our immigrant communities. Some answer our emergency calls. Others step up to serve in uniform. In every case, it is about commitment, responsibility, and putting others first.

It has been a busy few weeks in Washington, and I want to share an update on the work we are all doing to make South Jersey stronger.

Last week, an ICE raid in Lindenwold caused chaos in our community, resulting in dozens of children running away in fear from ICE agents. I joined community members who came together for an ICE Out protest in response to this horrific raid.

In Congress, I’m fighting back by calling for ICE to be abolished, signing onto a resolution to impeach Kristi Noem, hosting a Legal Observer Information Session with my congressional colleagues, and introducing legislation that would require all ICE agents to wear body cameras.

In South Jersey and across the country a few things are true: we stand with our neighbors against bullies and no one is above the law.
