📰 News we're reading

• Voters Decide Construction Questions in Special School Election (njsba.org) — Cinnaminson voters just weighed in on two major school construction bond questions that would fund more than $76 million in upgrades across every district building, from new roofs and HVAC to a stadium overhaul and added classrooms. The state would cover at least 40% of eligible costs, but local taxpayers would finance the rest through long-term bonds if the measures are approved.
   

• Five Defendants, including a Federal Corrections Officer and a Former Federal Corrections Officer, Charged for Conspiring to Smuggle Contraband into Fort Dix Federal Prison (justice.gov) — A Cinnaminson resident who works as a corrections officer at Fort Dix is among five people charged in a federal scheme to smuggle contraband like phones, drugs, and weapons into the prison. Prosecutors say more than $100,000 changed hands and one smuggled knife was later used in a stabbing, though all defendants remain presumed innocent while the case proceeds.
