Morristown Daily Record
MORRISTOWN The township failed to hand over public records requested through the Open Public Records Act in a timely manner, claims a lawsuit filed by a developer.
Speedwell LLC, in its lawsuit, states the documents it requested are wanted to show “apparent corruption” by the town in connection with development in the Speedwell area.
Also known as Speedwell Associates, the builder filed the complaint in Morris County Superior Court in response to the town s failure to provide all the documents requested, which caused an eight-month delay in the records request. This is the second time the developer sued the town. The suit seeks a series of documents related to the sale of three publicly owned parcels of land at 104 Speedwell Ave. and 90 – 96 Speedwell Ave. to developer Mill Creek Residential in 2012, 2015 and 2016.

This year’s presidential election cycle drew the highest voter turnout despite a pandemic that had the county’s Registrar of Voters adapting to social distancing and a dramatic increase in mail-in ballots.
To make voting possible for all registered voters who wanted to cast a ballot this fall, state officials decided every registered voter would receive an absentee ballot that could be mailed back for free or returned at numerous locations before Election Day. Drop-off spots included local libraries in the weeks leading up to Nov. 3. There was also four days of on-site voting at many community venues.
