Going it alone, Robinson-Briggs searches for buyer



Today's Ledger (mea culpa!) reports those who want to save Muhlenberg have reached a fork in the road.

Actually, three.

Mayor Robinson-Briggs says she is going it alone (well, the Council majority is probably going with her) to find a buyer for Muhlenberg (Mr. Piscatelli, is that your cue?).

Olive Lynch and the 'Buy Muhlenberg' effort are going to publicly launch a campaign to amass the needed cash in pledges from an estimated 20-30,00 small donors.

And, the Peoples' Organization for Progress is pursuing the legal route by suing the state to stop the closure of Muhlenberg.

Meanwhile, if you thought the State was playing by two sets of rules, you will want to read Dan Damon's post over at Plainfield Today (see HERE) about the hospital that was recently closed and the state is going to allow to reopen.
