Pennacchio retirement signals big shift in Morris County GOP politics

Morris County Republicans, already bracing for change on the county and local level after a "Blue Wave" midterm election, are facing another seismic shift in the political landscape, this time from within their own party. State Sen. Joseph Pennacchio, the conservative Republican firebrand who has represented much of Morris County in District 26 since 2001, announced his retirement on Nov. 10, effective at the end of his current term in January 2028. His statement set off a flurry of campaign announcements from other Morris Republicans seeking his Senate seat and other higher offices. “I have entered the seventh decade of my life, and I have been doing this for a long time," Pennacchio told the Daily Record. “After much thought and reflection, I have come to the decision that my service in elected office should draw to an end with the completion of my current term.” Soon after Pennacchio made his announcement, longtime Republican District 26 Assemblyman Jay Webber made his own declaration that he would run for Pennacchio's Senate seat in the 2027 election, when all 40 Senate and 80 Assembly seats are on the ballot. Webber, who has served in the Assembly since 2008, ran for Congress in

Jewish man sues officials over 2024 synagogue brawl

A Jewish man who was pardoned after being accused of assaulting a pro-Palestinian protester outside a New Jersey synagogue in 2024 sued a slew of local officials over the matter on Nov. 10. The lawsuit centers on a November 2024 protest outside Congregation Ohr Torah in West Orange, New Jersey. Several dozen anti-Israel demonstrators gathered to protest a real estate fair promoting living in Israel, but it turned into a brawl , with clashes between activists and worshipers. Moshe Glick was charged in part with assaulting protester Altaf Sharif, though he has maintained that he was defending another Jewish man being attacked, David Silberberg. Then-New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy pardoned Glick before leaving office in January. Among other claims, Glick's lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey accuses officials – including the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, the Township of West Orange, and West Orange Police Department personnel – of failing to protect the synagogue and its worshipers despite having advance notice of the demonstration, and of continuing to investigate him despite the pardon. He also alleges that officials violated his First Amendment rights to freedom of religion, free speech and freedom to petition. The lawsuit comes

Somerville library controversy takes another twist

SOMERVILLE - The Somerset County Library System is pushing back on a claim by Mayor Brian Gallagher that it engaged in a "false narrative" about the closing of the Somerville branch. In a statement, the Library System said it had "prioritized transparent and direct communication" throughout the process and had created a webpage to keep residents informed about the situation. The Library System also said that the decision to close the facility on West End Avenue next to Borough Hall on July 31 was "not driven solely by environmental health concerns" but also because it was "functionally inadequate for delivering services" since the closing of the lower level in August 2025. "The situation extends well beyond the presence or remediation of mold," according to the statement. "I'm not going to get into a verbal contest with them," Gallagher said, adding he was looking forward to "re-engaging" with Library System officials after Nov. 30. "We believe that building should be ready for reoccupation shortly," Gallagher said at the Nov. 2 Borough Council meeting, adding, "not that there was anything wrong with it to begin with."
