Earlier this year, Bullock stepped down from the council to become the city’s new tax assessor, after winning a second straight term in 2017 as part of Mayor Ted Green’s successful Team Green in 2017 Line A slate. Johnson and Awe recently hosted their first community meeting on Saturday, Jan. 12, in the East Orange Public Library.
