New county clerk
offers gratitude
To the editor:
Now that the Mercer County clerk’s race is concluded, I want to thank Mercer County voters for their support and confidence in me to serve as the next county clerk.
I want the public to know I will work hard every day to make the changes I promised during my campaign to ensure that Mercer residents and businesses receive modern and efficient services from the county clerk’s office. Excellence is what they deserve and have a right to expect.
I am presently working hard on my transition with a team of five dedicated volunteers from various Mercer County towns so that I will be fully prepared to begin working for you on Jan. 1, 2006. In the meantime, I welcome the public’s ideas and suggestions on how to make the clerk’s office better and can be contacted by e-mail at www.paulaforclerk.com. Please know that once I am in office, I will continue to be open to your suggestions and input. Please feel free to visit my office in the county courthouse in Trenton.
I am grateful for this opportunity to serve. With sincere gratitude, thank you again and I wish everyone a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year.

Congratulations go out
to newly elected clerk
To the editor:
On Jan. 1, 2006, Paula Sollami-Covello will be sworn in as the newly elected Mercer County clerk, the second woman to hold this office. It has been an honor to serve as co-chair of her transition team with former Mercer County Sheriff and Freeholder Gilbert Lugossy. The transition team has worked tirelessly to assist Paula in ensuring a proper and efficient transition of government.
As the Mercer County clerk, Paula Sollami-Covello will be committed to making responsible decisions and developing an unprecedented standard of excellence in the county clerk’s office by working cooperatively and collaboratively with all of Mercer County’s municipal clerks and with New Jersey’s 21 county clerks to improve services for all and to advance the methods of filing, recording, indexing and the preservation of public records.
As Paula works to lay a solid foundation and develop a strategic plan for the Mercer County clerk’s office, she looks forward to working with all constituency groups as well as state, local and federal agencies and organizations that have an impact on or interact with the clerk’s office.
Congratulations, Paula. May success crown your efforts!
