MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Sheriff Edward Rochford, asked to respond to the freeholders’ demand that he re-negotiate contracts or cut jobs, issued this response today:
“I have fulfilled my Constitutional requirement in signing reasonable contracts that are within the already established salary parameters set forth by the Freeholders for county law enforcement. It is up to the unions to decide a course of action, if any, they wish to take.
It is disappointing, however, that the collective bargaining process is aired in the press. Hopefully the county will exercise their authority and ability to honor the contracts so that the public safety is not jeopardized.” Sheriff Edward Rochford stated.
