Wednesday s meeting agenda included Fantasia s resolution. She set aside time to discuss the dueling resolutions.
Twenty-six people addressed the resolutions during the public speaking session. Speakers related personal stories of prejudice and all but one supported the initial resolution presented by the Sussex County Democratic Committee. The lone objector identified himself as David Morovich of Vernon, and accused those supporting the initial resolution as being from outside, and blamed Democrats for supporting cancel culture. They hate religion, he said. According to the roster of speakers, just one of the speakers was from outside Sussex County. It s sad how (this) has become a partisan issue, said Josh Hertzberg, who resigned from the county board in December after he won a seat on the Sparta Township Council.

MOUNT HOLLY - The snow just kept on coming, as Monday s record-breaking and slow-moving winter storm hammered the entire state throughout the day Tuesday bringing a combination of intense snowfall of more than 30 inches recorded in Morris and Sussex counties, winds as high as 63 mph, hundreds of accidents and significant flooding issues along the coast.
As of 7 p.m. Tuesday, Mount Arlington Borough in Morris County led the pack with a jaw-dropping 35.1 inches of snow accumulation, according to a report sent to the National Weather Service. If this is confirmed, this total inch count would break New Jersey s all-time snowstorm record in a 24-hour span, which was set by Rutherford in Bergen County in April 1915, when 32 inches of snow was recorded.
