Spotswood council appoints new business administrator
SPOTSWOOD–The Borough Council approved a resolution appointing Ryan Michelson as the municipality’s new full-time business administrator.
Michelson will be taking over the position from Dawn McDonald, who was mentioned in three different lawsuits filed by Chief of Police Michael Zarro, Spotswood Police Captain Philip Corbisiero and former Emergency Medical Services Director David Nichols in 2019, all of which cited alleged acts of harassment and misconduct by McDonald.
Attorney Gina Mendola, who represents Zarro, Corbisiero and Nichols, said the lawsuit between the Borough of Spotswood and Zarro and Corbisiero has not been resolved.

Top executives at medical boards frequently make more money than the average practicing physicians they regulate and sometimes it s a lot more.
MedPage Today looked at tax documents for ABMS and its 24 member boards to find executive compensation and compared those figures with data from the American Medical Group Association s latest physician salary survey.
The analysis found that for the 19 boards with complete data on both executive and physician pay, 12 of those executives made more than the median specialist salary.
Some of the widest gaps in compensation were seen for the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN), the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), and the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP).
