Bridgewater tables Hobbstown land deals after residents raise concerns

BRIDGEWATER – After questions were raised about the future use of the properties, the Township Council tabled ordinances to buy three lots in the historic Hobbstown community . The council was scheduled Nov. 5 to adopt an ordinance to buy a vacant half-acre lot on Richard Street for $65,000 from Eric Murdock, a former NBA player, and Darrow Murdock, the township's former tax collector. The council also tabled the introduction of an ordinance to purchase two other lots in Hobbstown for $165,000. The Sussex Avenue properties are owned by Nancy Jean Field, Glenn Field and William Robinson. Confusion about the acquisitions arose because the Richard Street ordinance stated that money for the purchase would come from the township's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Money for the other acquisition would come from the township's Open Space Trust Fund. Hobbstown residents question Bridgewater land purchases The use of Affordable Housing Trust Fund money prompted concerns from Hobbstown residents that the township may be eyeing the Richard Street property and surrounding township-owned lots for affordable housing. But township officials were adamant that Bridgewater has no plans for affordable housing or any other development on the site. They emphasized that the township's affordable housing plan,

Chester Investigation Intensifies: Law Enforcement Executes Coordinated Search at Local Residence

The mysterious death of 35-year-old Brooke Hanlon in Chester, New Jersey, has entered a critical new phase following a coordinated two-day evidence search by state and local authorities. Found with multiple sharp-force injuries in June 2026, the young mother’s homicide remained largely out of the public eye until a massive law enforcement presence swarmed the family property this week. With the autopsy report heavily redacted and the prosecutor's office maintaining absolute silence regarding potential targets, the removal of physical evidence from the home represents a pivotal moment in an investigation seeking to deliver concrete answers to an anxious suburban community.

Blue wave rolls deeper into Central Jersey, rattling GOP strongholds

In just a few days, it's become a cliché that a blue tsunami has washed ashore in the United States, sweeping Democrats into control of both houses of Congress and governor's offices in possibly 30 states. But in Central Jersey, the blue tide has been slowly rising, solidifying Democratic dominance in Middlesex and Union counties and eroding the once-moderate Republican stronghold of Somerset County. And now the blue wave, as it moves inland, is even threatening Hunterdon County, making some Republican officials nervous. "Not so long ago Somerset County was ruby red," Somerset County Democratic Chair Peg Schaffer said at the party's Election Night victory celebration. "And now it's beautifully bright blue." A dozen years ago, in 2014, another midterm election year, Republicans won 33 county and municipal seats in Somerset County, while Democrats won only 12, with a third of those victories in North Plainfield. In 2026, according to unofficial results , Democrats were poised to win 37 county and municipal seats, while Republicans may capture only 12. Democrats now hold all eight countywide elected offices. "We are the Republicans' of this county worst nightmare," said Schaffer, who is also vice chair of the state Democratic Party. Tom Kean
