Par High student hopes a petition he is circulating will protect kids from "ex-gay" therapy.
Newly out and proud, a Parsippany LGBT teen is taking a stand to protect the dignity of all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender New Jerseyans. After coming out in front of his classmates at Parsippany High School last month, a videotaped moment that went viral on YouTube, 18-year-old Jacob Rudolph is taking action to protect others. The teenager recently launched a new petition on Change.org urging Gov. Christie to support pending legislation in Trenton that would ban the use of controversial gay “conversion” therapy on minors. This controversial practice is employed by some churches and conservative Christian groups in hopes of changing sexual orientation—despite the fact that so-called "ex-gay" therapies have been repudiated …

State of emergency still in effect, meaning driving is prohibited, but many are ignoring the ban.
Nearly half of Parsippany is without power in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Jersey Central Power and Light reports that 20,771 people in the township are in the dark. Across the state, 7 million people do not have electricity. Downed wires and trees make being out and about in the township treacherous, said Parsippany Police Chief Anthony DeZenzo. A state of emergency is still in effect, he cautioned. That means driving is prohibited, save for emergencies. (If traffic on Route 46 is any indication, many drivers are ignoring that ban.) Police ask residents to stay in their homes. DeZenzo said of the 150 incidents of downed live wires, poles and trees reported thus far, 73 have been addressed and cleared.

Michael Strumolo wants Chris Christie to come to Parsippany to address his complaints regarding the Board of Education.
Parsippany Board of Education member Michael Strumolo, making strong allegations against Superintendent LeRoy Seitz, sent a request to Gov. Chris Christie Thursday asking him to hold a Town Hall meeting in the township to address a host of his complaints regarding the board. The complaints start with Strumolo's charge that he experienced harassment, threats and intimidation at the hands of "an Ex-Officio member of the board who in the past has tried to exact retribution for my refusal to vote for his contract." The board member is referring to Seitz, who is the only ex-officio member of the board, and who spent more than a year at odds with Strumolo and with Christie because of Seitz's contract negotiations. The dispute was about money: …

Gov. Chris Christie pledged to the residents of Lincoln Park—and Morris County—that he would urge his colleagues in the New Jersey State Legislature and Congress to put aside offsetting budget cuts and act quickly in funding repairs to damage caused by Hurricane Irene.
