Before council, John Inglesino hails Somerset County Prosecutor's finding that criminal charges were not 'viable' in Town Hall job-offer allegations.
Town attorney John Inglesino addressed the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office decision not to pursue criminal charges against Mayor James Barberio and associates at Tuesday's Township Council meeting at Parsippany High School. Inglesino claimed vindication over the decision, which was prompted by a probe based on claims by former Parsippany Police officer and current council candidate Dr. Louis Valori. The candidate had claimed Inglesino, Barberio and Council President Brian Stanton offered him a $50,000 police department public relations job to keep him out of the 2013 election race. Valori took his complaints—and a portion of a secret recording he made of the Sunday, Jan. 13, Town Hall meeting where the job was discussed—to law …

Prosecutor will not press charges, but accuser says he is going to the feds for 'a fair and impartial investigation.'
The Somerset County Prosecutor's Office will not file criminal charges in connection with a Town Council candidate's allegations that Mayor James Barberio offered him a job in January in exchange for not running for office, NJ.com reported. On May 9, a letter from the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office was sent to town Attorney John Inglesino saying a determination was made that lodging charges was not "viable" and that additional investigation was not necessary, according to NJ.com. The Somerset prosecutor conducted an investigation into retired Parsippany Police Sgt. Louis Valori's claims after he reportedly sent his complaint to the state Attorney General's Office. The case was sent to Somerset rather than to the Morris County …
Parsippany-based lawmaker sponsored two measures designed to prevent Sandy-like gas shortages in the future.
A pair of bills sponsored by District 26 Asw. BettyLou DeCroce in an effort to prevent gas shortages during situations like Superstorm Sandy was approved Monday by the General Assembly Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committee. The first bill, A-3911, temporarily waives the requirement that fuel merchants obtain a distributor’s license to import or deliver motor fuel from another state into New Jersey when the governor declares a state of energy emergency. The second measure, A-3912, allows a retailer to sell a supply of higher grade motor fuel at the same price as the lowest grade during an emergency. Both bills, the lawmaker said, have bipartisan support in Trenton. “These bills are necessary to ensure there are adequate …

But bad blood continues between union leader and the mayor.
There is finally resolution in the long-running contract dispute between the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills and its blue-collar workers. At Tuesday's Town Council agenda meeting at Parsippany High School, the governing body approved an employment agreement covering 2010-14 with the New Jersey Blue Collar Association, which represents non-white-collar town workers in departments including sanitation, water, parks and public works.
