• Clinton man pleads guilty in $9.7 million Ponzi scheme that hit 65 investors (njtoday.news) — A long-running Ponzi scheme run through a Bedminster-based financial planning firm has led to a guilty plea from its owner, who admitted defrauding at least 65 investors of more than $9.7 million. Bedminster Township Police assisted the FBI’s Newark office in the investigation, which continues as authorities seek additional potential victims and prepare for the defendant’s March 2027 sentencing.
   

• Rising enrollment foreseen for Bernardsville schools (newjerseyhills.com) — Enrollment trends in the Somerset Hills and Bedminster Township school districts could soon shift upward, driven by rising birth rates and hundreds of new housing units planned in Bedminster and nearby towns. While Bedminster K-8 enrollment has fallen over the past decade, projections through 2031 suggest growing elementary and middle school numbers that may strain Bedwell Elementary’s capacity, even as Bernards High School retains significant space.
