To understand money’s influence on politics, use the searchable database of Maplight at http://maplight.org/. Search by bills, legislators, interest groups, contributions and companies. It’s interesting to note, for example, that the National Beer Wholesalers Association has contributed $7,108,000 to members of the House and Senate and has taken a position on nine bills before Congress, making it fourth behind the National Association of Realtors, AT&T and Honeywell.

Growing power at PHS
Edible Gardens at Princeton High School were created in 2011, with a community garden-raising. More than 75 community members turned out to build and fill a collection of 13 raised beds on a sunny November afternoon. The Edible Garden beds were host to Matt Wilkinson, who taught a PE class with a garden theme, and also by Paula Jakelow, horticulture teacher.Â
Anna Rose Gable, ESL teacher and PSGC Edible Gardens coordinator, is overseeing the return of the Edible Gardens.

The outdoor classroom – and edible gardens – at Community Park Elementary School took a giant leap forward recently, with the expansion of the fenced area, courtesy of Judy Wilson, Princeton Regional Schools superintendent.
Now, the picnic tables are beneath the shade of a tree and there is grassy area for doing cartwheels or stretching a beach towel out for looking up at the sky. And the gardens can expand as desired.
