We need to end patronage payments to former freeholders like John Pulomena but it will only end if Republicans are elected to the Middlesex County Board of Freeholders. Continue Reading →

Dunellen Police Raising Funds for Cancer Research

By: |

In the next month, several members of the Dunellen Police Department will be looking a little hairier than normal. That’s because the department, along with several neighboring police departments, is participating in No-Shave November.
