Mayor Cleared Of Wrongdoing In Bribery Allegation
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 …

DeCroce Bills Addressing Emergency Gas Supplies Moves Forward in Trenton
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. The administration would not discuss details of the pact, however Samuel Poff, president of union local chapter 1 said workers would get a 6.5 percent pay raise over the four years but make concessions in prescription drug coverage.

County to Refurbish Courthouse Flagpole
For the next two weeks, there will not be the usual flag flying in front of the county courthouse.
For the next two weeks, don't be alarmed if you don't see the usual flags flying in front of the county courthouse. The flagpole on the front lawn of the Morris County Courthouse on Washington Street in Morristown will be painted this weekend and will need about two weeks to cure. Morris County officials want the public to know that flags will not be flying from the flagpole during that time. In the interim, however, an American flag will be placed outside of the front entrance to the courthouse during regular business hours. Flags will again be flown as soon as the flagpole is ready.

Council OKs Mayor's Budget Introduction—But Not Unanimously
Barberio blasts councilmen seeking mayor's seat for voting against introduction of $62M 2013 spending plan.
The Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council, by a vote of 3-2, approved the introduction of Mayor James Barberio's proposed $62 million 2013 municipal budget at its Tuesday night agenda meeting at Parsippany High School — and the town's top executive is not happy that the vote wasn't unanimous. Council members Paul Carifi Jr. and Jonathan Nelson, who are both running for mayor in the 2013 election, voted against the measure. Barberio is running for re-election. In a statement released Wednesday, Barberio attacked them both and called on the councilmen to change their votes when the measure comes up for a final vote. The $62,286,803.97 spending plan would result in a zero percent tax increase for residents. "I worked hard on this budget to …

Just another day -- business as usual in Parsippany. A great place to live if you want to live in a pipe dream. The corruption, incompetence and lack of focus are simply mind-boggling. Then again perhaps it is that the demographics have been drastically changing and nobody really cares enough to make a difference.
