OLD BRIDGE, N.J. – Less than a week after Old Bridge parents took a stand and rallied for a return to in-person instruction, the school district announced that it would move ahead with reopening for in-person instruction on February 16th.
One of the rally’s attendees – a GOP candidate for State Senate in LD12 this spring – believes the affired message couldn’t be any clearer.

“Last Saturday, the Old Bridge parents rallied, and sent a message to New Jersey: Our children’s well-being and education comes first. Now the children will be back where they belong, in school,” said Old Bridge Councilman Mark Razzoli on Sunday. “It’s a great day for our children.”

Gov. Phil Murphy appointed a special investigator Wednesday to review allegations of beatings at the state’s only women’s prison, NJ Advance Media has learned, as more lawmakers called for the head of the state prison system to step down.
The governor appointed A. Matthew Boxer from the firm Lowenstein Sandler LLP to investigate a Jan. 11 incident at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, according to a statement sent by a spokesman.
“I am sickened by the horrific reports of what happened,” Murphy said. “Let me be clear: every individual in state custody deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and we must always remember that female inmates have long been uniquely vulnerable to abuse.”
