Ex-Raritan councilman says mall developer owes him $414K | Exclusive

RARITAN BOROUGH – A former borough councilman and former chairman of the Somerset County Republican Party is suing the developer of the Raritan Mall, alleging he is owed $414,000 in consulting fees. Al Gaburo Jr., who served on the Borough Council from 1996 to 1999 and as county GOP chairman from 2010 to 2020, filed the lawsuit Nov. 5 in Somerset County Superior Court against Raritan Mall LLC, Raritan Urban Renewal LLC and Leonid "Lenny" Dimentman. The lawsuit alleges Gaburo and his now-dissolved company, Patriot Development & Consulting Group LLC, are owed the money for consulting services connected with the controversial redevelopment of the mall at Route 206 and Orlando Drive. According to the lawsuit, Gaburo was to receive "$1,500 per door" in four installments tied to borough approvals, the start of construction and issuance of the final certificate of occupancy. The borough has approved 276 apartments, including 42 affordable units . The project received preliminary Planning Board approval in March on a 6-2 vote, followed by formal approval in July. The affordable units will help the borough meet its goal of zoning for 99 affordable housing units by 2035. Developer disputes allegations in Raritan Mall lawsuit "We dispute the

Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”
