Election day brought a change in the balance of power on the council; power restored after Sandy, threatened by Athena.
Preliminary counts show Putrino and Ashley take the election, while residents cast a resounding 'no' for the Field of Dreams. Ashley and Putrino "anxious to get to work on behalf of the residents of New Milford." See how the candidates did in each district, with the unofficial counts. Just when some residents saw their power come back after 10 days, Athena took it away.

Assemblyman Timothy Eustace visits Berkley's fifth graders and talks about government.
Assemblyman Timothy Eustace spent Thursday morning at Berkley Elementary School prepared to teach the students about government, but ended up learning some things himself. Questions from the students focused on the environment and they were eager to hear about what Eustace was doing to preserve it. Eustace explained to the assembled students that he is very focused on reducing his own carbon footprint and has installed solar panels on his house and drives an electric car. It was the electric car that caught the children's attention as Eustace started it up and showed them where the plug is installed. Principal Patricia Aufiero said that she was extremely impressed with the questions that the fifth graders asked the assemblyman. "It was …

As 38th District legislators, Senator Bob Gordon, Assemblyman Tim Eustace and myself recently formed a Public Education Advisory Committee consisting of administrators, supervisors, teachers, board of education members and parents. The purpose of this committee is to discuss the important educational issues which face the state of New Jersey. The agenda of the first meeting focused on teacher evaluations and their impact on earning tenure. What we found most interesting was the unanimous agreement that the current evaluation and tenure situation in our school system is broken. What we also found most interesting was that participants representing different roles in education could come together to offer creative solutions to the …
