Morris County Democratic Chairman Chip Robinson: The Dodd Team is using Republican voter suppression tactics in recent law suit

PARSIPPANY — I was incredibly proud this year to support a slate of real Democratic candidates running under the banner of “Dover First” against the current members of Dover’s governing body, who are, for the most part, Republicans masquerading as Democrats. With the MCDC’s support, Dover First swept the primary election, winning nearly 60% of the vote town-wide against the Dodd Team.

Yesterday, despite a recount doubling our margin of victory in the key Fourth Ward, the Dodd Team continued their desperate attempt to retain power. Despite their overwhelming loss, they filed a legal challenge to the primary election results in the Fourth Ward, something almost unheard of after a five-point margin of victory.

It seems that finally, the Dodd Team has unmasked themselves for the Republicans they really are, as they are represented in the case by Morris County Republican leader Alan Zakin. Zakin has been the Executive Director of the Morris Republican Victory PAC and has been the attorney representing Republican candidates against us in most general election recounts over the years.

Carlos Valencia, our candidate in the Fourth Ward, worked tirelessly to meet with the voters of Dover and aspire to represent their issues on what has been an insular and unresponsive governing body. The fact of the matter is that, whether or not the Dodd Team wants to accept it, Carlos defeated incumbent Alderman Ron Camacho fair and square.

Alderman Camacho’s loss in a Democratic primary should not have been too surprising. He has run as a Republican in Dover in the past and has never lifted a finger to help fellow Democratic candidates on the ballot.

What is most bothersome, however, is the voter suppression tactics the Dodd Team is attempting to use to overturn the 4th Ward election results. Their claims of voters casting ballots illegally come straight from the Donald Trump Republican playbook.

The voters of Dover should have no fear, particularly from their municipal government, about going to the polls on Election Day. Whether you vote in person or by mail, your voice matters and your vote should count. The MCDC stands firm in support of all eligible citizens in Dover being allowed to cast their ballots without fear and we will do whatever is necessary to protect every one of those voters.

Chip Robinson
Chairman, Morris County Democratic Committee

Prescription Drug Drop Installed at County Government Center

MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County employees and residents now have an additional location, inside the county government complex in Morristown, to safely and conveniently dispose of unwanted or leftover prescription drugs.

A new Prescription Drug Drop Box has been added by the Morris County Sheriff’s Office to the lobby of the Morris County Administration and Records Building, which is located at 10 Court Street in Morristown, directly across from the Morris County Courthouse.

Parsippany has a Prescription Drug Dog Box located at Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department, 3339 Route 46.

The new Morristown locked drop box is available to the public and Morris County employees during normal business hours, Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

It is important to note that businesses or clinics may not use the collection box to dispose of medications.

Morris County Sheriff James Gannon

“This is a central location for the public allowing people to discard their medications in a safe and secure area, while also offering convenience for county employees,” said Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon.

“We fully support the Sheriff’s initiative as another positive step to deal with the opioid crisis we are facing in Morris County,’’ said Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana.

The new drop box is clearly labeled to identify items that may and may not be deposited.

Acceptable items include pills, capsules, patches, vitamins, samples, pet medications and over-the-counter medications.  Medication packaging also will be accepted, such as pill bottles and small medication boxes.

Not acceptable: syringes, liquids, lances for diabetic testing, inhalers, thermometers and aerosol cans, and of course any type of trash.

Since 2013, the Morris County Sheriff’s Office has been part of the successful Prescription Drop Box Program under the Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris, (an initiative of nonprofit Morris County Prevention is Key), in conjunction with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and numerous Municipal Police Departments within Morris County.

The Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris looks to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of drugs in Morris County.

Since 2013, there have been 26  drop box installed at various locations in Morris County, making it easier for county residents to dispose of unused or expired medications, said Barbara Kauffman, Director of Prevention Services at Morris County Prevention is Key.

“I have been proud to work with both the Morris County Sheriff’s Office and the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, to equip each of the Morris County Police Departments with a Prescription Drug Drop Box,’’ said Kauffman, who is the coordinator of the Community Coalition for a Safe & Healthy Morris.

The Morris County Sheriff’s Office collects the medications with 25 local police departments that host a collection unit.  The Sheriff’s Office has destroyed more than 30,000 pounds of medications in the last six years, including 6,563 pounds so far in the first half of 2018.

The medications are weighed, logged and stored prior to destruction.

Sheriff James M. Gannon, who has been an advocate in the fight against the opioid epidemic  said, “The gateway to this disease often begins with legally prescribed medicine that is overused or used by people other than the patient.  My hope is that by collecting and destroying unused medications, we lessen the access and thereby block potential beginnings.”

Defendant Pleads Guilty to Theft by Deception Charge

MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp announces that on July 9, 2018, defendant Keith Enlow of Pequannock, entered a guilty plea before the Honorable Thomas J. Critchley, J.S.C. to one count of second-degree theft by deception.

This investigation was conducted by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Financial Crimes Unit. The case came to the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office as an allegation of the theft of $472,000.00 from the victim. The defendant, a former registered representative at Merrill Lynch, convinced the victim to move her money into an online brokerage account where the defendant claimed he would manage the funds for the victim’s benefit.

After the money was moved, Enlow withdrew approximately $9,400.00 each month to pay for his own personal expenses. He also transferred money into accounts under his own name, in which he conducted highly speculative losing trades. As a result of Enlow’s losing trades and the withdrawal of the victim’s money for his own benefit, the victim suffered a loss of $472,000.00 within approximately 18 months.

Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Michael Rappa represented the State at the plea hearings. Enlow faces four years in New Jersey State Prison and has agreed to restitution of the entire amount.

The sentencing date for Mr. Enlow is on September 21, 2018 before the Honorable Thomas J. Critchley, J.S.C.

Bikers Rallied for the RTSP Ride For Freedom

RANDOLPH —  If you didn’t see them last weekend, you probably heard them! This past Sunday, July 1, over 150 bikes came out in the 100-degree weather for RTSP and Harley Davidson’s Ride For Freedom. The ride was organized by RTSP to increase awareness that there is a voice for those who believe in their freedoms and 2nd Amendment rights.

The over 100-degree temperatures also did not stop supporters from cheering on the bikers on the sides of the street or in front of their homes as they rode over 87 miles through Morris and Hunterdon Counties from Garden State Harley Davidson on Route 10 in Morris Plains and back to RTSP- Range, Firearms, and Training on Route 10 in Randolph.

The Ride For Freedom was a respectful way for everyone from the local doctor, police officer, or lawyer, to stay at home moms, college students, and anyone else to have a voice for legal gun ownership in New Jersey. These “Freedom Riders” believe in their 2nd amendment right.

“Handling firearms safely as well as going through the right channels to acquire firearms is a right we have as Americans. However, in the state of New Jersey, while illegal gun ownership is on the rise, the government is putting all its efforts into taking away our right to self protect. This ride was an opportunity to show that there are masses of people throughout the state that believe in that right, and while we are not the loudest, we are here!” said Brad Tremeroli, RTSP owner.

At the end of the ride, bikers were met at the RTSP facility with music, BBQ, and prizes. Despite the heat, the RTSP and Harley Davidson Ride For Freedom turned out to be a successful day of New Jersey locals coming together and supporting a cause that they feel passionately about.

All net proceeds from the Ride For Freedom bike run will benefit New Jersey Second Amendment Societies.

Preservation Board Recommends 21 Historic Preservation Grants To Morris County Freeholders

PARSIPPANY — The Morris County Historic Preservation Trust Fund Review Board has recommended $2.2 million in county grants from the county’s 2018 Preservation Trust Fund to help preserve, restore, or protect 20 historic sites in 16 towns across Morris County.

The recommendations, made recently to the Morris County Board of Freeholders in Morristown, included grants ranging from $355,143 for Craftsman Farms Administration Building – Rehabilitation and $258,064 for Smith/Baldwin House – Phase 2 Rehabilitation.

The freeholders were briefed on the projects by Review Board Chairman Randy Tortorello. They will make a final decision on the grant recommendations at their July 11 public meeting.

The grant money comes from the voter-approved Morris County Open Space, Farmland, Floodplain Protection and Historic Preservation Trust Fund. All 21 applications received this year received grants.

Of the 21 recommended grants, 12 are construction grants while the other nine are for non-construction purposes, such as planning or construction documents.

Awards were recommended for projects in Parsippany as well as Boonton, Denville, Florham Park, Hanover, Kinnelon, Mine Hill, Madison, Morristown, Mount Olive, Pequannock, Randolph, Rockaway Borough, Roxbury, Washington Township, and Wharton.
