Hunterdon Freeholders Assure
County Businesses Of No Interference With Hours Of Operations
|
|
Stating that that private businesses know better than government how to ensure the protection of the health of their customers and employees, while still being economically feasible, Hunterdon County’s Freeholder Board, at the November 17th meeting, approved a county policy not to interfere with private business operations with regard to hours of operation.
The Freeholders’ action comes in response to Governor Phil Murphy’s executive order #195 delegating authority to counties and municipalities to regulate the operating hours of non-essential businesses after 8:00 p.m.
Freeholder Board Director Shaun C. Van Doren stated, “I believe this is another area where the philosophy of this Board diverges from the Governor’s. We see private business people as best positioned to make these decisions, not the government.”

For Breast Cancer Awareness

|
The Hunterdon County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Hunterdon County Sheriff’s Officers Association Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 94, teamed up to take part in the “Pink Patch Project”, a collaborative effort between law enforcement and public safety agencies, to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer by wearing pink patches this past October, Hunterdon County Sheriff Fred Brown reported at a recent Freeholder Meeting.
Sheriff Brown said, “Several Sheriff Officers proposed to support a fellow officer by wearing the pink patch during the month of October and I was delighted to support the cause. Recognizing that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, wearing the pink patch seemed like an ideal fit.”

As seven more Hunterdon County municipalities were approved for the county’s COVID-19 grant program by the Freeholders, at the November 17th meeting, bringing the total number to eighteen municipalities approved for funds so far, Freeholder Board Deputy Director Susan Soloway reminded localities they have until November 30, 2020 to apply.
“These grants aid our local governments which have experienced unanticipated emergency response costs. As a former Mayor, I know this type of assistance can help, and I encourage the other municipalities that have not yet applied to do so before the deadline,” Soloway, a former Mayor of Franklin Township, said.
