As I do every year at this time I will forecast the future for the beautiful people of Freehold Borough.
Its time for Casual's predictions for 2009. Before I focus on the future let me show you what I wrote on Jan. 7 of this year. (Please see below) I want you to take specific note of my prediction for the presidency...
Now onto the future ---
*** A compromise immigration package will pass Congress and be signed by President Obama in late 2009 or early 2010. No one will be completely happy with the outcome. The resolution will engender some white flight from Freehold Borough, although many will stay and learn to live with their brown neighbors.
*** Work on the 2010 census will begin in 2009 and the final result will show that 45-55 percent of the borough residents are Hispanics -- higher than many expected.
*** Because of declining readership, the Freehold Voice will either cease to exist or it will merge with another entity to sustain itself. There are powerful forces within the borough that seek to take it over. Brian should establish a section in Spanish to serve the entire Freehold Borough community (but he wont).
*** The Republican borough ticket will narrow the margin of the democrtic victory but only if Teddy "wanna be Councilman" Miller does not run. Both parties will outdo themselves into anti-immigrant fervor until the immigration bill passes. After that -- probably in 2010 or 2011 -- they will begin to court the Hispanic vote.
*** Freehold Borough will become known throughout the state as a hub of Mexican culture and stores emphasizing Mexican crafts will begin to emerge.
*** The Freehold Center Partnership will try to displace some Hispanic businesses from downtown as part of its revitalization plan -- there will be a struggle over this.
*** The number of posters on the Freehold Voice will jump from 3 to 5.
This is what I foresee as of this moment as I continue to read my tarot cards over the weekend I will post any new revelations.

I recently went to a palm reader and here is what she told me the future holds for Freehold Borough.
The Miller-DeFonzo Republican ticket will be crushed by Snurr and DiBenedett. Miller will announce plans to run in 2009.
A new Mexican restaurant will open downtown.
Another Mexican bodega will open downtown.
Kelso dude will write another nasty letter about Mayor Mike for Life.
The Great Baldwin will write a letter attacking Kelso, Mayor Mike, and Councilman Levine dude.
The Latino Festival will draw 10,000. LS will estimate total at about 50.
Obama will win the presidency.
