BettyLou DeCroce bested Larry Casha, 120-67, at a special convention Wednesday night, where GOP county committee delegates chose her to fill the state Assembly seat left vacant by her husband’s death.

Enough is Enough! Montville Deserves a Fourth Choice
I am personally sick and tired of all the misleading and negative campaign material put out by the Daughtry and Sandham campaign. I believe it’s an embarrassment to our community and to members of the Republican Party. I was supporting Jim up until this past weekend. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me is when I learned that a piece of campaign material that to me was misleading and negative was mailed to many of the households in Montville using an unauthorized image of my home; a picture that I believe could only have been taken by trespassing at least 700 feet onto my property. I see this as an invasion of my home and privacy. Both candidates and most of their campaign team have been to my home many many times, so they should be well aware of that the fact that the picture they used could not have been taken from public property and was not obtained with my permission. I have already reported this trespassing to the Montville police. I plan to hold those involved accountable.
In The News: Sentator Pennacchio is promoting "Transparency in Government".
Much like the man himself, Senator Joseph Pennacchio’s office on Changebridge Road in Montville is bright, organized and comfortable. Sitting behind his desk in the inner office Pennacchio talks candidly about himself and the issues about which he’s the most passionate. One of them is money.
"I’m the cheapest state senator in New Jersey when it comes to taxes," he said.
Two watchdog groups the New Jersey Taxpayers Alliance and Taxpayers for Prosperity have recognized Pennacchio for his efforts.

This fact marks our political age: The pendulum is swinging faster and in shorter arcs than it ever has in our lifetimes. Few foresaw the earthquake of 2008 in 2006. No board-certified political professional predicted, on Election Day 2008, what happened in 2009-10 (New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts) and has been happening, and will happen, since then. It all moves so quickly now, it all turns on a dime.
But at this moment we are witnessing a shift that will likely have some enduring political impact. Another way of saying that: The past few years, a lot of people in politics have wondered about the possibility of a third party. Would it be possible to organize one? While they were wondering, a virtual third party was being born. And nobody organized it.

CHEER: To state Senate passage of a bill requiring governments on all levels to put all financial data — contracts, bill lists, the budget etc. — on their websites. The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Joseph Pennacchio, R-Montville.

A new year in Montville Township has brought some changes to Town Hall. Former Deputy Mayor James Sandham, Jr. now takes over the duties of mayor from Deborah Nielson and Don Kostka joins the five-member Township Committee (TC) in the seat formerly held by Democrat Jean Bader, making this an all-Republican governing board.
While her time as mayor may have come to an end, Nielson remains a member of the TC. She took a moment, at Neighbor News' request, to reflect back on her two years as the township's 53rd mayor.
Her term coincided with one of the roughest economic time periods of recent memory, a situation which continues into the foreseeable future.
