Seaside Heights Settles Suit Over Swinging Boardwalk Lights

Seaside Heights has settled a lawsuit over swinging boardwalk light fixtures, bringing a legal dispute involving the borough's boardwalk lighting to a close. The project traces back to a contract the borough awarded to replace its boardwalk lights, a job that officials said was fully covered by a $4,795,362 state boardwalk preservation grant, according to earlier reporting from Shorebeat. The planned work called for replacing the existing lights with stainless-steel fixtures and LEDs. The old-style lighting required more frequent bulb changes and drew more energy, the outlet had reported.

State takeover of Lakewood schools clears judicial hurdle | Exclusive

TRENTON – A state judge will allow the Department of Education's takeover of the Lakewood Board of Education to continue. The judge issued a ruling last month denying the district’s request to have the hostile intervention stopped. The ruling, which the district immediately challenged with an appeal, was issued Oct. 1 but only made public this week. It moves the district a step closer to a state takeover, which was first announced by the state education department in January. Another hearing, however, will still have to be held to consider the state’s original claim that a takeover is necessary. That hearing has yet to be scheduled. Administrative Law Judge Susan Scarola issued the latest ruling that stated, “the commissioner may seek full state intervention,” later adding that Lakewood Schools have “shown insufficient compliance with quality performance indicators.” Lakewood school officials did not respond to requests for comment on the latest ruling. Scarola’s decision comes months after she held a hearing on the matter in June, during which Lakewood school board attorney Joshua Forsman sought to have the state’s intervention halted. Forsman called a full takeover “the most drastic remedy available” and “extreme.” In the 30-minute session before Scarola - the
