BHCW 12/10/2023 Newsletter

What’s Important to Know About Berkeley Heights This Week…

This week, BHCW informed residents of where Mayor Devanney stood in relation to OPRA and shared an email in which she encouraged state legislators to protect critical aspects of this vital law.

BHCW exposed a highly suspect RFP and warned the BOE and Community of the potential for more violations on the part of the District if the Board were to take any action during the past week’s special meeting. We also noticed and pointed out contradictory information about the meeting and the inability of many residents to enter the meeting via Zoom – raising concerns about whether there are deliberate attempts on the part of the District to confuse and discourage residents further in their attempts to view and participate in meetings.

While the Mayor defends OPRA, BOE Majority members spent their time playing middle school word games with residents requesting basic documents that other Districts make readily available on their websites.

Other content in this week’s newsletter includes a conversation involving a resident on the redevelopment study, a summary of important news at the state level, and our top three articles in November.
