Parsippany's James Vigilante again accuses fellow township resident Ann Grossi of publicly disrespecting his Air Force service.
Morris County Clerk Republican Party candidate James Vigilante says his U.S. Air Force service was attacked again by fellow candidate Ann Grossi. Vigilante, a nine-time decorated Air Force veteran and current Air Force reservist from Parsippany, appeared at a candidates' debate held at the Montville Senior House late last week. He claimed Grossi’s campaign manager, Steve Roman, sat among the audience and fired questions at Vigilante regarding his military service. According to the candidate, Roman asked Vigilante about the $125 per day he earns as a reservist first sergeant and then criticized him for accepting pay from the military while also trying to run for a government position. Vigilante recently announced that if he wins the clerk's…

NJ needs to adopt rules to ensure everyone can vote more easily if another disaster hits.
All the ballots have finally been counted in New Jersey. Once they are certified by the state canvassers on Friday, New Jersey can finally close the book on this difficult election. Or can it? The constitutional litigation clinic of Rutgers Newark Law School is poking into the votes, asking for information about the processing of special balloting New Jersey Secretary of State Kim Guadagno ordered to help those displaced by Superstorm Sandy. Remember, thousands were homeless, either literally because their houses were destroyed or left uninhabitable, or by choice because they had left cold, dark buildings to stay with family or friends or at a hotel. Even some polling places were without power and so had to be moved. Guadagno ordered the …

Committeeman to serve second term in Montville.
Republican Montville Township Committeeman Don Kostka will serve another term after winning a race for re-election Tuesday. Incumbent Kostka was challenged by Democrat Mike O'Brien, who garnered 3,184 votes in the election. But Kostka pulled ahead with 5,184 votes. Kostka was unavailable for comment Tuesday night. Before the primary election, Kostka, a self-employed Certified Public Accountant, said this would likely be his last term. Since being elected, he said he has focused on maintaining fiscal responsibility for the township. His challenger, O'Brien, is a former high school history teacher. O'Brien had promised to bring transparency to local government, if elected. O'Brien wished Kostka luck Tuesday. "I'm confident he'll do the best…
Republicans have conceded the senatorial seat to incumbent Robert Menendez.
As the ballots pour in from Sandy-ravaged New Jersey, Robert Menendez has emerged victorious in reclaiming his U.S. Senate seat against Republican challenger Joe Kyrillos.

"Joe represents the very best of New Jersey and has fought for his constituents faithfully from the day he took office and …

The deadline for electronic voting has been extended after email and fax ballots caused headaches Tuesday throughout the state. A high volume of requests overwhelmed county officials, including in Morris where the chairman of the Morris County Board of Elections told NJ.com it may take weeks to determine the outcome of some close local elections. Morris County issues began to surface on Monday when it was discovered some information on the county clerk's website directing voters not able to get to the polls was either inaccurate or misleading, NJ.com reported. The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey also plans to file an emergency petition requesting a state Superior Court judge in Essex County to intervene to force the state to …
Whether they voted for Democrats or Republicans, many voters stressed the importance of making a decision at the polls.
Continuing power outages throughout Montville and parts of Pine Brook did not seem to stop voters from heading to the polls Tuesday morning. Particularly at the Pine Brook firehouse polling location, a steady stream of voters pulled in throughout the morning hours. Karen Danko brought her daughter and neighbors' daughter to the polls with her, as they were out of school still on Tuesday because of continuing power outages from Tropical Storm Sandy. "This is a huge election, it means the difference between a bright future and a dismal future," Danko said. Danko said she did have power restored in her own home and that she felt it was important to come out to vote. "We need to vote for a new president," she said. Her daughter, Pamela Danko, …
