The gap starts small. You miss a cleaning during a busy stretch, then you lose the insurance when you change jobs, then a year passes and calling feels like admitting something. Five years later the appointment you are avoiding is not really about your teeth. It is about the conversation you expect to have when you sit down.
That expected conversation is the main thing keeping people out of the chair, and it is usually worse in imagination than in practice.
The house sells faster than anyone expected. Closing is in five weeks, the new place is smaller, and forty years of accumulated belongings are still in it. This is the point at which most families make the expensive decision, which is to put nearly everything into storage and sort it out later.
Later rarely comes. Units rented as a temporary measure during a move have a way of becoming a standing monthly cost, and the arithmetic on that gets uncomfortable quickly.

Congressman Van Drew issued the following statement after Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that approximately 6,600 non-citizens were identified on New Jersey’s voter rolls, with nearly 400 having cast ballots.
“This is exactly why so many New Jerseyans have lost confidence in our election system,” said Congressman Van Drew. “For years, we have warned that our voter rolls needed to be cleaned up, only to be dismissed and called conspiracy theorists. Now, the state’s own findings confirm that thousands of non-citizens were registered to vote and hundreds cast ballots.

I shall continue to voice my opinions until the day I stop breathing. For many years I have been involved in our community. First as a Concern Citizen then as your Mayor. I am presently very concerned with the direction our beloved city is heading.
There are more businesses leaving out town than there are coming into Gloucester City. Over the last several years, we have gone from a proud hard-working, blue-collar, middle-income community to a none-working low income town.
