bethel teams with seventeen percent and i want to give credit where credit is due bob menendez served as chairman of the two thousand one victory campaign not for the hispanic community but for the entirety of the campaign what's so important state new jersey as we begin to realize the emerging importance the leadership of hispanic community not just this panic community on quote unquote hispanic issues but on state issues and start bringing the community to the table as full partners with the government sixteen yet this include political james mcgreevey democrat to

develop sites that he defended the right people like the requirement that all delighted to have you always do what's right and you always do in your heart your conscience in his soul what the right thing is to do you will very rarely ever go wrong and the problem was is that what unites states navy was doing the impact that it was having on the island the impact it is having on the population here it is of the most innovative established a long lasting friendship with poor people in an impoverished town in the dominican republic gold but it still obama does he created a health clinic to say that you were suffering from malnutrition and other illnesses basically we converted his allies plug into a clinic and we called it love thy neighbor clinic in spanish and we opened it and part of it

was that the children the clinic never had access to basic healthcare isn't that seems he was rather significant problem due to clean the problems with malaria and you have found no pools of water are better not that are not clean that are not trained and despite the efforts of armed then present in balad air and present on now and not reasonable ego he still had promised on private sales that we built one for that we built the second floor and now when the process of building a third floor and what i'm very much honored and i won a publicly thank present in balad air and his daughter carmen rosa tom and the entire community and president leo now and now doesn't he believe though is for their commitment and as was mr daniel gomez i've got versus old previously was an aggregate so i said so all the dominican republic i don't care which for your phone the only thing i care about is my little clinic and it hadn't been for my clinic we want to be supportive of you know what was important was is

taking people sometimes upwards of an hour to have to get into some of the mango amanda time in fact one child i she was alive by internal bleeding trying to get into a hospital in terms of the domingo so now what we have is we have doctors that come from boston university with an agreement with your time's university of us and there's a mango and we have doctors and we qualified that site as a center for tropical medicine thanks to governor mcgreevey as humanitarian mission and the work effort of church volunteers and doctors from places like boston university the townspeople of pi so finally have a place to seek medical attention for themselves and their children wheels of students from notre dame university coming in and georgetown university volunteering in the clinic and we have medical students and so now we can provide access to basic vaccinations we can do some minimal surgery provide basic healthcare right at the clinic and we also have an ambulance subsequently every year he returns to bring on

materials and on and i for you the point is cover that ensures that every third grade child at are both third grade reading level we need understands that in jersey today there are over eight hundred gram schools in rural suburban and urban new jersey worth literally thirty percent of the third graders cannot read at or both third grade reading level and indication show from the harvard graduate school of educated should

that after third grade of that thirty percent that's not literate only seven percent ever become fully literate we need to understand the importance of third grade literacy well the governor has primary mission has a difficult job this is facing a four billion dollars deficit it is considered the largest in the state's history part of it is is going to waste and mismanagement with all due respect to go over the women of the past eight years but there was a half a billion dollars on the parsons emissions testing disaster was a single bidder contract went to places there were no other kids he spent five hundred million dollars half a billion dollars for a program that didn't work and then now we have the easy pass these ecosystems in the deficit

steve wynn's tunnel atlantic city we spent three hundred million dollars to build the tunnel for billionaire casino development spurts half a billion dollars on parsons three hundred million dollars for easy pass three hundred million dollars is for steve wynn's tunnel that's one point one billion dollars as a sizable and now the state's governor mcgreevey has a crisis in his hands as he takes office that he has vowed to establish a government with the people of new jersey thanks for as the sundance there are some hispanics who wanted to talk to me all fantasy is in the cities of the world trade center is open all the doors in the consulate and that they will be welcome as a governor to our community and

definitely china's new governor of our new jersey i am william kennedy is organizer of the hispanic they didn't sell high and i was given the national review award i save many lives and that due to the fact i was able to organize his group at because people came to me complaining of a lot of law situations dealing with the a lack of help that they were not receding from the different organizations that were donated money to i want to know if you are going to create and noble's went off he's one overseeing now the palm and that will check that these are distribution are gonna quit the cheerfully unbalanced to all the members of our community i seen that much of my community the hispanic community is hurting a lot and mostly our is due to the fact that in the resume that they had to help that they need well you know we're going to be hosting a meeting in princeton university in late january when i'm inviting all of

the families the victims in the aftermath of september eleventh world trade center ten to princeton university risking the nonprofit community come together the red cross community as well senator george mitchell so the goal is to have everybody in the same room where the proms thus far is is people have different conversations with different groups and our goals to bring everybody in their together so we all of the opportunity to know exactly what various components of the nonprofit community is doing what is the city of new york doing what is the federal government going as to bring everybody at the same table and i said to a partial invitation to join with us at princeton university to be part of the dialogue and we're in and sign case workers for every family so that the families have advocates that families have someone's gonna follow up in their interest in addition in order to reestablish the office of the public advocate so that we continue to hold the nonprofits as was the federal

government and state governments accountable for the interests of these families some of them think it's governor mcgreevey this is like evelyn the executive director of the camden children's garden and i'm here with some of her great volunteers and employees of the camden children's garden who have done a lot of the artwork here on the mosaic done mural of a hundred neighbors and the chairs the rainbow chairs is was leah mural behind us and they are just a few of the many can the news who work at the children's garden and do very talented things again he'd gotten angry i wrote in this letter i'm thinking is out and emily encampments and that was three months old a mighty is a living in canada i can honestly say that the things that i have seen no i do not so i really believe in

as annie yeah what is that lengthened the school's of them maybe again in schools american fleet ways i think it's not so much because of the actual voting but because of the complete lack of organization that all overextended in annapolis that the school's hat and these problems are somehow overcome i'm melissa block i want to express a concern about schools how our schools and can they are overcrowded and we need bigger and better schools built on the question of can we have to do much better with them than vitamin be holding a town meeting at st joseph's at the poker table i downstairs from the pro cathedral in camden i do in the month of february saunders can be inviting the entire uk and the community

come together most recently i met with representatives armed from the dice is a canon as well as the canon of clergy interfaith coalition and we're going to have an old fashioned town meeting we can ask the governor anything you can put their ideas on the table your criticisms and the whole goal is to do lists and just understand what the community wants in terms of public school system how we can attract private business enterprise to camden and job opportunities i got these ingredients it and it was a lesson moreno and i grew up in this time you're born in jersey city new jersey mr quest he was governor is about the hijacking a job it begins as me because they're very little retention programs involve high schools and cancers now i know you concerned with high quality education how can you help us the tension of the latino community in terms of secondary education is critically important and that is one of the functions that used to deliver will be looking at as an exhibition of education and not only in terms of secondary schools but as

important primary schools and community college how your governor jim mcgreevey my name is awesome maldonado are from the city of passaic my message my message to you is we have a lot of urban cities like say pattison north jersey city and numb there's many latinos to walk the stage and i'm hoping that in you know administration are you are inclusive of the latino community isaac thank you very much and by the way you have a great mayor to say my dear friend as ma give you my best and committed to having of the administration it's like the diversity the power and the influence of the growing hispanic community that's not only the government but that's good politics and i believe it's important that we'll be wonderfully qualified base and that's what we'll be reaching out in the days months to come governor mcgreevey just promise

anything as economies you know the first thing pleasantly surprised to hear that i am i of course was so excited coming back home to new jersey and focus on that and i hoped that if i am the person certainly tyler perry dr

badley yeah it is yes we do thank you were much for the question for that is for the for the community of the messenger is novelist up in prague on and i strongly support a law that would start profiling that would make it illegal to further stress his views on profiling and discrimination the governor made another first for hispanics by appointing new york's top cop police detective joseph santiago the superintendent of new jersey's troubled state police force

and he has a life that exit ghost is his was the voice and the president says that i think is going to play a very active role in two areas one obviously in terms of health care which i think is so critically important that you do with commerce possible politically with our dear friend dr moran and the city of norco children inoculations immunization life but also on the immigration question a working hard tack to work with individuals are poor immigrant a working with them not only in terms of naturalization the voter registration and i think that's so tremendously important housing would also be a major issue for my previous administration the doors in canton another man asked the governor for help center made way we love a simple as

so many cod at the air they were up in the us economy and in the same problem at the visit made them as any impulse iraqi army that is you even like it will then go about a more stable forty million right that's it one of the first things in moving guys in the us i love politics at it i see unlike a lot of different needs that need to be met for example i'm in areas like a level where we had so many latinos brothers and sisters were not there anymore because of the lack of housing and intellect seem more houses down in that area businesses in assisted them know so he knew that that emotional pull them in the promises they say still alive one of the real challenges of her ministrations

going to be developing all of the homes and quality housing what's really disconcerting is for the first time the state new jersey this year we will have fewer individuals owning their own home that's a disconcerting statistics we need to understand the importance of home ownership and towards the developing housing opportunities and that's going to be a major initiative important that is creating tax incentives for developers to build affordable housing not just a housing for the middle class and just housing for the wealthy but affordable housing for the promise of america is also whether friendly they live in a little dome like ours where they live in a middle class home that you provide quality affordable housing that's so critically important i know john mccain has and i'm here with my children and i then michael otterson and we'd like to congratulation also ask for your support so that we can have adequate day care centers here in urban centers like new york new jersey so that parents can go to work and neither children in a safe place you have a governor who's committed to making that work

because one it's good for the child it provides them access to intellectual development and social modification so much earlier and it's also provides a safe and secure place for the trial or the parrot works and many mothers one woman from wealthier workers only lonely there was as a place to place their children so they were concerned that ripple with anxiety that were polled anguish of which one is in the message to work have a safe place for children is that the single largest percentage of children who are uninsured in the state of new jersey no access to healthcare or hispanic children and whether that's inoculations for measles mumps rubella whether that's access their prenatal health care for mothers we need to ensure that we do right by the children of the community as walls provide for quality education across new jersey hispanics also talked about issues that concerned the general public

union city onto itunes was the main topic is an american in order the government office and that probably business district what happened in west texas increase of jobs for hispanics in atlantic city they need to help small business owners stay alive in the competition it is the large casino establishments became an issue of great concern jersey city that request was for the government to hold the visual and performing arts the cutting back and intimidation of music and arts programs public enemy i will do more to meet the south latin

music in the next four years the legacy of the three fifth first governor james mcgreevey it will tell us a lot about where we are as a diverse they now i was on the cover we really are we have the opportunity
