From yesterday’s Bernardsville News:

Panelist Daryl Brewster, the head of Brookside Management, LLC of Mendham, shared some insight into the circumstances that led to the current economic situation. The former CEO of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc., asked the crowd who was to blame. The question prompted a variety of responses, including government regulators, corporate leaders and plain old greed.

“We all got caught up in that same greed,’’ Brewster said. “We borrowed from the future to spend now. We have just lived through the good old days, the biggest party ever. Now we have the hangover.

“As a society we all helped contribute to this,’’ he added.

Wrapping up the article was this quote from our moderator Michael Aron, a Montclair resident and senior political correspondent for the New Jersey Network.

“This is a good place to be stressed because there’s so many helping hands.’’

I hope this site will contribute to the community’s awareness on how to reach those helping hands.
