📰 News we're reading

• Cinnaminson school referendum trails by 22 votes in unofficial results (courierpostonline.com) — Cinnaminson voters are narrowly rejecting a $76 million school bond package in unofficial results, with the main $57.7 million question trailing by just 22 votes. Turnout was about 22 percent, and remaining mail-in and provisional ballots could still affect certification. If the measures fail, the district will lose millions in state construction aid and avoid the projected tax increases for homeowners.
   

• Insider NJ's Morning Intelligence Briefing: 9/15/2026 (insidernj.com) — Cinnaminson just saw its largest-ever school bond question go before voters, a major decision that could shape local facilities and taxes alongside neighboring Clementon. The statewide political briefing flags this vote as one of many significant local issues unfolding across New Jersey. Residents may want to track how the bond outcome compares with other towns' school and budget debates.
   

• Corrections Officers Smuggled Drugs, Knives Into Prison: Feds (dailyvoice.com) — A Cinnaminson resident who worked as a corrections officer is among several people federally charged in an alleged contraband-smuggling scheme at Fort Dix prison. Prosecutors say officers accepted bribes to bring in drugs, knives, phones, and other items, with one knife later used in an inmate stabbing. Authorities allege more than $100,000 moved through payment apps during the conspiracy.
