What’s Important to Know About Our Local & State Government This Week….

This week’s newsletter begins where the 03/18/2025 BHPSNJ Budget Meeting should have: the actual BHPSNJ budget. Instead, that meeting centered on a different topic—a turf field.

Despite repeated claims of urgency, the project won’t be up for a vote until 03/25/2025—one full week after the budget meeting that wasn’t.

Next, we highlight Councilwoman Poage’s unusual suggestion that residents fact-check the Mayor and Town Council using… the Mayor and Town Council’s own information sources.

We also revisit a widely shared article comparing BHPSNJ spending to that of local private schools, followed by a clear and contextual statement on NJ21st’s code of ethics.

As we wind down, we feature two community voices: one praising better communication from BHPSNJ as well as a student activity and the other raising concerns about the upcoming BHPSNJ referendum.

As always, we close with our notes from the week and our three most-read articles from the past month.
