Phillipsburg's Town Council voted against two routine-looking bills at its Oct. 27 meeting, withholding a combined $2,150 that included a $2,000 reimbursement for Mayor Randy Piazza Jr. and a $150 payment owed to a local cupcake baker who had already delivered the desserts. The move set off a pointed back-and-forth about conflicts of interest, paperwork and whether a small-business owner should be caught in the middle of town hall's internal disputes.

Christmas Eve in Italian-American households across New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn meant a table loaded with fish and nothing else. The practice comes from the Roman Catholic observance of abstaining from meat on the vigil of Christmas. In Southern Italian families, that abstinence became an occasion, and those families carried it to South Philly, Bensonhurst, and Newark's First Ward. In Italy the meal was La Vigilia; in America it picked up a new name, the Feast of the Seven Fishes.
