Like many of us, I moved to Parsippany because it was a remarkable, special place with residents who were proud to call this Township our home. We were blessed with some of the best municipal services in the County coupled with relatively low taxes and an atmosphere which made living here truly a pleasure. Unfortunately, both administrations over the past ten years have embarked on policies and behaviors that have been a substantial threat to much of what makes Parsippany great. Higher taxes, reduced services, political cronyism and nepotism, utility mismanagement, and Township employees facing a record-low morale problem are just to name a few. On the Board of Education, we made some tough decisions, but I always voted for what I believed was right ensuring that residents were getting the best for their money. With the right managemen

It finished up at Hannekenâs final resting place, Mount Zion Township Cemetery, where his family, including widow Shelley, sons Ben, 16, and 14-year-old Nick, Hannekenâs mother Vickie and his father, retired State Trooper Jerry Hanneken, said their grief-stricken final goodbyes in a private interment ceremony shielded from the public.Â
The weather on this most remorseful day was unseasonably cool, the mercury hovering around 34 degrees and made colder yet by a stiff breeze. The sun shone out of a cloudless blue sky, however, and the quality of the chilled crystal light made colors stand out: the dozens of police mourners in their sharply-pressed dress uniforms and the red, white and blue of thousands of flags snapping smartly in the unrelenting wind.Â
Law enforcement agencies hold boat procession for fallen officers Josh Fiallo, Tampa Bay Times
TAMPA The Hillsborough River went silent Tuesday night as many gathered to honor the death of Tampa Police Master Patrol Officer Brian Madsen.
Sixteen boats - one for each year Madsen served before he was killed by a wrong-way driver on March 9 - moved down the river in a somber procession. The event was in remembrance of the lives of three officers who were killed this year in Tampa Bay, including Madsen. They lit the river blue with flashing lights as they slowly trolled from the Platt Street Bridge to Armature Works just before 9 p.m.
