PARSIPPANY — During the January 19, 2016 Parsippany-Troy Hills Town Council meeting, mixed between routine resolutions, was the confirmation for Mayor Barberio’s re-appointment of engineering firm Adams, Rehmann & Heggan Associates (ARH). While most members of the public in attendance paid little attention to the vote, ARH was ousted by the Council by a vote of 2-2 with one abstention.
ARH came to prominence during the 2015 Republican Primary after Parsippany Focus uncovered that the firm had donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Super-PAC America’s Future First. It was later learned that America’s Future First was created in order to try to oust Councilman Paul Carifi, Jr., from office by spending nearly $200,000 on the June 2015 primary supporting Mike dePierro, Loretta Gragnani, and Vincent Ferrara.
Paul Carifi, Jr., came in first place in the race and Vincent Ferrara lost the primary.
Parsippany Focus made several unsuccessful attempts to contact ARH for comment.
