Governor says shared service should start in his hometown.
As part of his town hall meeting in Montville on Wednesday, Governor Chris Christie spoke about the need for increasing shared services and the money if would save the taxpayers. Christie said to those assembled he needed to look no further for an example than his hometown of Mendham. "Where I live, I live in Mendham Township, inside Mendham Township is Mendham Borough for reasons that I can never understand," Christie said. "I say I live in Mendham, 'Township or Borough?' Whats it matter? There is 8,000 people between the two towns." Christie has been a longtime resident of Mendham Township and last March hosted a breakfast fundraiser for the township library. "In my town they have two old, decaying libraries," Christie said. "Mendham …

String of burglaries in the area has area police on alert.
A string of burglaries in Mendham, Chester and surrounding communities may be executed by the same crew. Or they may not. The burglaries could be related to one another. Or they may not be. There is even one theory that they could be linked to a 30-year-old spate of burglaries. That falls under probably not. But while police work to find those responsible, they are reminding residents that they need to take precautions to protect their belongings. "Set your alarm and lock your doors," said Mendham Borough Police Chief Pat Libertino. According to Libertino, the burglaries are happening during the daytime and are happening in a very short span of time. "People are gone for a couple hours and that is all the time it takes," Libertino said. "…

Cause of the accident in the parking lot of the Kings shopping center under investigation.
An 80-year-old woman was hit by a car in the parking lot of the Kings shopping center shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday morning. The incident was a little more than a hundred yards from the crosswalk where a woman struck two people this summer. "This a hard lot to figure out," said one Mendham resident who declined to give his name. "If you are next to an SUV you can't see people walking behind you." Mendham Borough Police, Mendham First Aid Squad and Atlantic Health Paramedics responded to the scene. The victim was transported to the Morristown Medical Center for treatment. Due to her patient status her name was not released. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Gov. Christie is absolutely right. However, the powers that be in each of the little towns will never give up their control. They are choking their constituents with ever higher tax burdens. Gov Christie will need to enact legislation, on a state level, to force consolidation of these small redundant towns. Until that happens, NJ will continue to be the number one state people flee from.
