Muhlenberg: Courier drops ball today



With the state's hearing on Solaris' proposed closure of Plainfield's Muhlenberg hospital set for 6PM this evening at PHS, today's Courier is filled up with an editorial and five significant letters to the editor. Fine piece of community coverage.

But not online.

Supporters of Muhlenberg will have to hustle their print editions, as the Courier does not have the coverage online as of 9:00 AM.

Here's what you'll find:

Editorial: "Muhlenberg's fate still could be altered"
Letters --
  • Annie McWilliams & Adrian Mapp: "Hospital's salvation comes through insurance"
  • Gail Georges, RN: "Muhlenberg is part of community fabric"
  • Robert Lauer, PhD, MD: "Muhleberg's demise will jeopardize lives"
  • Nancy Piwowar: "Will Somerset Medical be hurt by closure?"
  • Linda Simms: "Green's planning will help public adjust"
Will put them up later if they appear online.

Looks like Plainfield and central Jersey's fabled morning paper is becoming its mid-morning paper. How's that help circulation?
