The state urges customers to consult the database before buying a car
The State Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) and Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) are urging all customers to consult their database of flood and salvage-titled vehicles before purchasing a car. That database now provides information on 31,000 such vehicles, the State MVC announced on Wednesday. It isn't illegal to sell vehicles with flood or salvaged titles. However, there are specific requirements that ensure potential purchasers are aware of the status of such vehicles, according to the MVC. “Damage sustained by vehicles must be disclosed to prospective buyers,” Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said. “We will hold car dealers accountable for violating our Consumer Fraud Act if they fail to make such disclosures.” The database was …

Governor tells New York Post that Lap-Band procedure was done at the urging of his family. An NYU doctor made house calls to Christie's Mendham home to not draw attention to the surgery.
Gov. Chris Christie underwent stomach-shrinking Lap-Band surgery in February, he confirmed to the New York Post on Monday night while refuting speculation that he was slimming down for a White House run in 2016. Christie quietly had the Lap-Band -- or laparoscopic adjustable gastric binding -- procedure done in a New York hospital, telling the paper that he agreed to the surgery at the urging of his family after turning 50 in September. The governor insisted that the Lap-Band was not inserted to help him lose weight in the run-up to 2016. "I know it sounds crazy to say that running for president is minor, but in the grand scheme of things, it was looking at Mary Pat and the kids and going, 'I have to do this for them, even if I don’t …
Marlboro Democrats have offered a 'sign truce' regarding signs on public easements.
It's campaign season in Marlboro. As three council seats are up for grabs, so are the blank spaces on the side of township roads. Campaign signs were seen in Marlboro on private property as early as the end of April. Marlboro's temporary sign ordinance allows sign placement within 45 days of an election; the primary is little more than a month away. But Marlboro Republicans are publicly outing area democrats for sign misplacement. Marlboro Republican Club Chair Chris Dean said in the public comment section of last week's council meeting that he counted 22 illegally placed signs from the Marlboro Library to Route 34. "Admittedly, one of our enthusiastic volunteers placed several signs outside of the areas permitted under the ordinance," …

League of Municipalities backs measure to ban 'terminal leave'
Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande has introduced a bill that would rein in the use of accrued sick days by retiring public employees. The bill, A-1943, is backed by the League of Municipalities, according to a release. “Sick leave is for sick employees, they are not meant to allow public employees to remain on a public payroll and take an early retirement,” Casagrande, R-Monmouth, said in the release. As an example, Princeton Township arranged to pay the long-time municipal administrator and police chief for nine months after they left their posts, collecting their regular salaries along with all their benefits and pension contributions, according to the release. More recently, the since-merged Princeton has sanctioned allowing its police …

Some municipalities, such as Sea Bright, desperately need the additional funds from Community Disaster Loan applications.
The impact of Superstorm Sandy continues to be felt by the State of New Jersey as it embarks on its first fiscal year following one of the biggest storms in state history. For various reasons, many towns have been forced into a holding pattern, waiting as the state approves their budgets. Indeed, 32 towns impacted by the storm have applied for Community Disaster Loans, which are reviewed by officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and must ultimately be approved by the state Department of Community Affairs' Division of Local Government Services. Some towns, such as Sea Bright in Monmouth County, see this loan as an absolute must. The borough applied for about $1.25 million in the loan, and has not even introduced its budget …
