A look back at last week's stories
Christie Stays Put: On Tuesday, Gov. Chris Christie made a final statement regarding a possible 2012 run for the White House: It won't happen.

In the end, though, Christie told a crowd in Trenton that he wants to finish the job he started in the Garden State. The governor said a presidential bid may be in his future, but then again, he added, he could end up working for NBC.

A look back at the last week
Chief Celebrated: A host of township and county officials, police officers and family members gathered at Municipal Court Friday for the swearing-in of Parsippany Police Chief Anthony DeZenzo.

The big stories from the last seven days in Parsippany
Incumbent Restored: Morris County Freeholder Margaret Nordstrom is the new Republican nominee in the general election. In a special GOP county committee vote last Monday, Nordstrom defeated challenger William "Hank" Lyon 213-208. The committee vote was ordered by Superior Court Judge Thomas Weisenbeck last week after he decided to overturn Lyon's primary election win over Nordstrom, citing apparent voter fraud and an unreported last-minute donation to Lyon's campaign. Lyon is appealing the judges' ruling. Team Parsippany Declares Innocence: The Nordstrom-Lyon controversy played a part in the Parsippany Township Council meeting last Tuesday.
