Ed, I’d like to know why Trenton City Council doesn’t raise a fuss about Mayor Doug Palmer’s residency. Everyone knows he lives in his mansion in Hunterdon County. That’s why he has the Trenton police patrol car stationed 24/7 outside his house at 6 Buckingham Ave. to make sure no reporters or dissenters are hanging around trying to prove that house is vacant. All they have to do is check the use of electricity, water, gas, and they can plainly see the house is vacant. If you had a mansion in Hunterdon County and you had a house by Cadwalader Park, which one would you live in? And do you really think he’s going to send his daughter to Trenton’s schools. Also, why is it that you never see his wife? The people of Trenton are not stupid. Mayor Palmer does not live in Trenton and has not lived here for years.

Resident

I suppose if someone really wanted to push the issue, the facts would come to light. That said, I have personally been, unannounced, to the mayor’s Trenton home two different times, and both times it was clear he was living there. For what it’s worth.— Ed. Note
