Acting Prosecutor Addresses
Law Enforcement Accountability
In Hunterdon County At
Freeholder Meeting
|
|
Acting Prosecutor Michael J. Williams addressed the Hunterdon County Freeholders at their June 16, 2020, meeting and discussed various topics impacting our County and the nation. These topics included the tragic death of George Floyd, the protests taking place throughout the country, and Hunterdon County law enforcement’s approach to use of force incidents and law enforcement accountability.
According to Acting Prosecutor Williams, “I want to acknowledge the extremely difficult times that we all find ourselves in – back in March we began dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, and three weeks ago we watched the tragic death of George Floyd in Minneapolis that led to the arrest of four police officers. This tragedy, horrific as it is, creates a basis for change and reform.”

Hunterdon Parks And Recreation Division Now Offering Virtual Programs For Summer
|
|
Educational and entertaining virtual parks and recreation programs for children will be offered by the Hunterdon County Parks and Recreation Division, while summer camps are not presently available due to state COVID-19 restrictions, Freeholder John E. Lanza, reported at the June 16
th
Freeholder Meeting.
Freeholder Lanza, the Board’s liaison for Parks, said, “I can report that the Parks Division staff has been most creative in developing imaginative programs that will be offered virtually throughout the summer. Given that the state’s extensive health protection protocols have resulted in a suspension of summer camps, the Parks Division has recognized this is an issue for parents and has put forward opportunities via the internet.
Over the course of the next month children of varying ages can participate in the nature clubs and lectures on insects, mammals and even coexisting with coyotes, which is fairly important as coyotes are here in Hunterdon County. More information is available on the Parks and Recreation web page.”

Hunterdon Freeholders Oppose State Bond Plan That Puts Property Taxpayers At Risk
|
Freeholder Board Director Shaun C. Van Doren said, “The bonding plan must go before the voters on the ballot for approval. This was decided by the NJ Supreme Court when our former Senator and Congressman Leonard Lance successfully challenged then Governor Jim McGreevey’s attempt to avoid a bond referendum in 2004. The present borrowing plan is unconstitutional.”
