On the ground, the dream of a constellation of equal languages, all perfecdy translated and made readily accessible to their target audience turns into a messy but productive constellation that is made up of overlaps, discrepancies and incomplete forms of multilingualism that produce shifting power relationships between Europeans. Most Europeans will never master more than a few languages at a given time and no European is as multilingual as the European Union.3 The multiplicity of languages within the European Union does not call for the same type of thinking (how does a political entity function with 22 official languages?) as the issues raised by travellers (do business travellers alter the nature of the English language when they all speak it as non-natives), migrants or refugees (when does a language count as a language and who has the power to remain ignorant?), border-crossers or border-dwellers (what does it mean to be trilingual in a small territory?) or the children raised in a bi-lingual or tri-lingual environment (does the 'authenticity' of the language of origin trump social mobility when parents choose to transmit or not their own mother tongue?).

\"I can tell you that from the first time in City Hall, it sounds phony when I say it, but there's never been a day I didn't enjoy being a municipal clerk,\" [Jane Williams-Warren] said in an interview. \"I enjoy people and helping people.\" \"She is a gift,\" said former 6th Ward City Councilman Thomas Rooney Jr. \"Once in a while, God says: 'I'm going to do something really good for the city of Paterson,' and so he sent Jane.\" \"People are so frustrated by they time they get to us, they've been either transferred or people won't help them,\" she said. \"I tell my staff to stop and help them. It only takes a couple of minutes.\"

The money will help [Jane Williams-Warren], as the city's custodian of records, to assess [Paterson]'s needs and create a strategic plan to manage its paperwork. The division gave a similar grant of $48,340 to Clifton. Passaic County received $1.4 million for eight projects to scan and store public documents. In the early 1990s, Paterson's clerk's office began to \"image\" the documents for the City Council. That meant that all of the minutes and resolutions and other papers for the governing body were sent to a company several times a year to be scanned into a digital format. They were then indexed on a computer disc and loaded into a database. Today, the public can search through the council's files back to the early 1970s on a computer workstation in the clerk's office.

As for the change to the constitution, [Jane Warren] said she opposed it because putting measures before the voters is costly and requiring two-thirds votes might mean that money from that account is never spent. During this session, Warren added, lawmakers want to pay for the Wildlife Trust Fund, widening highways and school raises, for instance. While any of those might win a majority vote, they may not reach the two-thirds threshold, she said.

By 1978, the City Council appointed her deputy clerk, and in 1990, after more than 23 years on the job, she became the city clerk. Today, [Jane Williams-Warren] oversees a staff of 10 and serves not only the council but the entire city government as the custodian of records and the supervisor of municipal elections. The typewriters are long gone, but with the added responsibilities, the paperwork in this computer age has only multiplied. After conquering her vision troubles, Williams-Warren joined the clerks' association executive board four years ago as its secretary. Although her presidency officially begins Jan. 1, Paterson officials and her family members watched her be sworn in at the association's meeting in Atlantic City in November. She carried a bouquet of roses to represent all of her loved ones and colleagues who have helped her life and career. One gold rose in the bouquet symbolized her mother, who was her hero and taught her the joy of serving the public as a housing counselor for the Paterson Task Force.

The community partners are Highland Park Market, The American Red Cross, Rockville Bank, LA Fitness, the South Windsor police and fire department and the South Windsor Department of Recreation. Jane Kimball Warren, an environmental law partner for McCarter & English, has been named Active Volunteer of the Year by the Junior League of Hartford. \"Jane has done so very much for our league yet never seeks the spotlight,\" said Junior League of Hartford President Jodie Liddy. \"No matter how challenging or upsetting the issues that were thrown at her, usually at the last minute, she always remained calm, kept her sense of humor and represented the Junior League of Hartford in the best possible light.\"
