Bergen surgeon pleads guilty to tax crimes, awaits sentencing

A Bergen County orthopedic surgeon has pleaded guilty to a federal tax crime after failing to turn over more than $1.5 million in payroll taxes withheld from employees’ paychecks, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Brian Mehling, 61, of Hackensack, pleaded guilty to one count of failing to collect, account for and pay over payroll taxes, the Justice Department stated Nov. 10. According to court documents, Mehling formed Mehling Office Management LLC to pay himself and other employees of his medical practice. Between 2014 and 2018, Mehling failed to pay the IRS the full amount of taxes withheld from employees’ paychecks for 10 calendar quarters. The unpaid taxes resulted in a loss of more than $1.5 million, according to prosecutors. The IRS launched a collection action to recover the unpaid payroll taxes. During an interview with an IRS revenue officer in October 2016, Mehling acknowledged that he was responsible for accounting for and paying the company’s payroll taxes. He also admitted that he had failed to remit taxes for previous quarters and instead used the money to cover other expenses, including mortgages on his properties, according to the Justice Department. As part of his plea agreement, Mehling agreed to

A New Jersey shopper walked into Walmart and found the clothing aisles blocked off because selling them that day is illegal

Most Walmart stores sell just about everything seven days a week, but one corner of New Jersey still plays by rules written for a very different era. TikTok user @joselwees found that out on a Sunday trip to Walmart in Bergen County, where the clothing section was closed off to shoppers. His short video about it has drawn hundreds of thousands of views. In the clip, the creator explained that he is new to New Jersey and had no idea about the rule. He told viewers that in Bergen County it is illegal to sell clothes on a Sunday, so at Walmart, “they basically close off all the clothes.” The footage pans across racks of coats and other clothing that shoppers could see but could not buy that day. The creator ended the video by asking his followers for an explanation, saying “I need answers.” His caption was shorter and more pointed, calling the situation “petty,” while the on-screen text simply asked what was going on in Bergen County. The answer, as several commenters quickly explained, is a set of blue laws that has survived in the county for decades. Bergen County’s blue laws still ban Sunday clothing sales Bergen

Election Day fallout, big changes in Rockland: Angle

The midterms are over, and Rockland's gonna see a lot of change come January. A big one: Our two-term member of Congress, Republican Mike Lawler, lost to political newcomer Democrat Cait Conley . (You can find our exclusive Q&A with Conley here .) Though the Pearl River resident was up by more than 8 percentage points in Rockland, according to unofficial results, Westchester pushed the blue wave forward. The pattern became clear election night, even with a Westchester County ballot mess that delayed quick results, and Lawler called Conley election night to concede . Rockland is part of New York Congressional District 17, which also includes Putnam and parts of Westchester and Dutchess counties. That blue wave continued to sweep through Rockland . In state Senate District 38, which encompasses the towns of Orangetown, Clarkstown, Ramapo and Haverstraw, even a shout-out by President Trump on X to Monsey's Jewish community didn't save incumbent Republican Sen. Bill Weber. Democratic challenger Joe Rand got his share of what's often dubbed as the "bloc vote" for its high turnout and frequent unity behind a single candidate. Like this year showed, at least in this race, the bloc vote is not always a monolith.
