Parsippany lawyer steps away from county freeholder board to make a bid for clerk's position.
Parsippany resident Ann Grossi has had a number of titles: lawyer, councilwoman, Morris County freeholder. Now, she is giving up her freeholder seat to run for another position: Morris County Clerk.

The commendation is named in honor of the late 26th District Assemblyman Alex DeCroce.
Gov. Chris Christie presented the first Alex DeCroce Leadership Award to former Morris County Freeholder John Murphy Wednesday afternoon in Whippany.

Chances are he cast that ballot for his own campaign for a seat on the Morris County Board of Freeholders. "I'm just trying to stay busy today," Cesaro said, noting that he did some paperwork for his law practice and noshed on a giant hoagie. "Tomorrow we start a healthier diet." The councilman said he'd wished for a larger turnout. "I guess all the excitement will be for the general [election in November]," he said. "I hope I'm involved in it." In order to qualify…
