A local utility is giving back to the community in a big way.
Entegrus is donating $200,000 from its Corporate Donation Program to the United Way’s COVID-19 response and recovery fund. The money is earmarked for helping the municipality’s most vulnerable citizens.
“Entegrus is known for assisting other utilities in times of crisis after devastating storms in both Canada and the United States,” says United Way CEO Steve Pratt. “It’s comforting to know that when help is needed in our own backyard, Entegrus is here to answer the call. This significant contribution will help position us to weather this unprecedented storm we are facing in our own community, ensuring basic needs will be met for those who need it most.”
Recount ordered in 2 N.J. towns, but not freeholder race, after audit catches missed votes
Updated Dec 11, 2020;
A judge has denied a bid for a countywide recount of votes cast in the Gloucester County freeholder race, but has granted recounts in two close municipal races.
County Republicans sought a recount in the freeholder race, which saw three incumbent Democrats re-elected. The highest Republican finisher, Nick DeSilvio, trailed the Democrat with the least votes by 1,944 votes.
DeSilvio sought a hand recount of all 175,000 ballots cast in the race, claiming the potential for errors in the largely vote-by-mail General Election.
In arguments presented Friday before Superior Court Assignment Judge Benjamin C. Telsey, attorney Christopher Dasti, representing the Republicans, cited claims that some ballots became jammed in counting equipment and may not have been counted, and highlighted discrepancies found during last week’s audit of a random sample of votes cast.
