Numbers we look at, not only temperatures at 72, but dew point at 63, gives awe indication of the moisture in the air just on that threshold where it starts to feel little muggy with the 63 dont expect the temperatures to get much lower than that, not only in the city but the surrounding suburbs.

Fox 29 investigate is taking hard look at local councilman who likes to motor around his town in an s. U. V. But there is one problem. Records show his license is suspended. We tried a few times to ask some questions but he locked himself in the Clerks Office. Heres jeff cole. Nestled along the delaware, pennsgrove new jersey is a tiny salem county borough of just over 5,000 people. It is small town, but the borough looks to be struggling, as women. Sitting in the middle of it all, the former firehouse known as borough hall. Park right in front of the police. It is here, from the door marked police, where we found Borough Councilman Carl Washington over to this blue suv and driving roof. There he goes. So whats wrong with that . Plenty. According to new Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission records obtained by fox 29 investigation, Carl Washingtons drivers license is suspended. Hes not supposed to be driving. But, over self role day last month thats what we saw him do over and over again. And even before we were able to get out of question about it washington didnt want to talk. How are you . Im jeff cole from fox. Can i talk to you a minute . I really dont have time right now. Dont go in yet. More from him in a moment. According to this, certified Motor Vehicle record Carl Washingtons driver history is long and troubled. His recent problem start in april of 2014, when he bounce add check for his drivers license. One month later the record shows he failed to comply with a court order and his license was suspended. Another citation for a dishonored or bad check appears on the same day. Couple of days later he zoo cited for innocentpayment of insurance surcharge his license remains suspended. But his didnt stop him on the afternoon of friday april 10th when we saw him drive from his pennsgrove neighborhood to borough hall and go in. And an hour later he leaves, climbs behind the wheel, and motors off. Now, it is four days later and there is the blue ford parked alongside borough hall, at about 2 30. An hour ticks by here is the councilman sliding in the suv and driving. Remember records show his license is suspended. This is april czars and again, washingtons hitting the road from borough hall. Fast forward to tuesday the 21st of april. 3 30 in the afternoon. And there is pennsgrove councilman Carl Washington, again, motoring off. When we press for answer cents, it was off to the race. Hey i have to ask you something. I have your drivers transcript here and youre suspended. Dont go yet. Let me show this. Before go before go. Before you go, counsels ill man where are you going . Come on let me come down and talk to you. Can i come down and talk to you . Let me just say listen, listen, councilman before do you it, let me show this. Why cant you show me that . Councilman . Counsel man serious issue, right . Councilman . I got you suspended as of last year. And your point. Why would you drive a car if youre suspended. Did you see my driving . Yes, sir four five times. Oh okay. Carl washington has been on Borough Council since 2011. He sits on the Public Safety committee, which overseas the police, a Community Activist makes the explosive claim that local authorities know of washington driving while suspended. But they have looked the other way. Walter hudson is also an elected member of the boroughs school board. He says when he learned that Carl Washington had gotten this ticket in nearby Logan Township for driving while suspended, he alerted the boroughs top officials this fall when records show washingtons license had been pulled. I brought it to the attention of mayor washington, also i brought it to the attention of police chief gary. So mayor we went to the home of pennsgrove mayor washington. He was inside, but refused to come out. By phone he said he did not know washington was suspended and hudson never told him. That conversation was w walter your believe is that did not happen . And the boroughs chief of police also says hudson never mentioned the suspension to him. Washingtons ticket tore grieving while suspends in the logan was amount amended to failure to exhibit documents and he pled guilty. Water hudson meanwhile has trouble of his own. He says hes innocent of criminal charges hes facing after with police at a school. He says Carl Washington is getting a break reserved for the powerful. It seems when it comes to councilman Carl Washington because he is on the Police Committee and Public Safety committee that they are looking the other way.
