Stronger Housing Inspections: Public Safety, Community Wellness and Revenue [GENE BOUIE COLUMN] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The recent loss of two young children in a Trenton house fire is heartbreaking. My prayers remain with their family and everyone affected by this tragedy. Nothing in this discussion should presume the cause of the fire or assign responsibility before the investigation is complete. But tragedies can also require us to examine whether the systems designed to protect our residents are working as they should. Published reports have raised questions about whether the property was properly registered
Guest OpEd: Four years from now, what will be different in Trenton? [GENE BOUIE COLUMN] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Trenton enters another election season, I believe we should ask a question that goes beyond whether the current Mayor deserves another term—or whether one of his challengers deserves an opportunity to replace him. Four years from now, what will be different? That is not intended as a disrespectful question. I voted for Mayor Reed Gusciora twice.

Temporary Leadership. Temporary Budget. Permanent Consequences. [GENE BOUIE COLUMN] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a recent op-ed, I asked whether the City of Trenton is structured for success. That question deserves another look. Across City Hall, several departments continue to operate under acting or interim leadership. Acting appointments serve an important purpose. They provide continuity during periods of transition while permanent leadership is identified. They were never intended to become a long-term model for governing. Successful organizations understand the difference. Temporary leadership can
Trenton doesn’t need a hero. It needs a high-performing government. [GENE BOUIE COLUMN] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As another mayoral election approaches, Trenton residents will once again hear candidates promise to make our city better. We will hear about economic development, public safety, neighborhood revitalization, and hope for the future. But after decades of hearing similar promises from administration after administration, perhaps it is time to stop looking for heroes and start looking for builders. But who has demonstrated the capacity to build a high-performing municipal government capable of tran
