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

Plainfield Council Balks at Rushmore Pool Fees, Citing Affordability Fears

Plainfield City Hall Annex — Approximate Daily-Pass Prepayment Site. A proposal to start charging admission at Plainfield's year-old Rushmore Aquatic Complex collapsed this week when a city council motion to introduce the fee ordinance failed to get a second. The vote, or lack of one, means the pool — which drew roughly 2,800 users this year according to city officials — remains free to enter for now, even as the municipality faces warnings about rising costs elsewhere in its budget.

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
