As Solaris prepared to pull the plug on Muhlenberg after 131 years of service to Plainfield and the surrounding communities, hundreds of supporters gathered in the parking lot across Park Avenue from the hospital to rally their forces once again and continue the protests with a mock funeral from Plainfield to JFK, which concluded with a candlelight vigil in front of Plainfield City Hall.
Univision (Ch 41) and NJN sent sound trucks to cover the event, and today's Courier and Ledger feature the news.
In addition, you can read Dan Damon's take on the significance of today's meeting between Mayor Robinson-Briggs, Assemblyman Green and Commissioner Howard over at PLAINFIELD TODAY.
