Today's riddle: What did the wall say to the other wall. 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Hillsborough School Tax Concerns Driven By State Aid Loss, Says Superintendent (patch.com) — Hillsborough residents are grappling with steep school tax increases as Superintendent Michael Volpe explains that a major loss of state aid has driven recent hikes, despite the district's relatively low per-pupil spending. At a Board of Education meeting, Volpe detailed cost-cutting measures, improved bond ratings, and new state funding, while residents and board members pressed for ways to curb future tax burdens without harming school quality or property values.
• Hillsborough Police Blotter July 2026 (tapinto.net) — July's Hillsborough police blotter details numerous DWI arrests, thefts, scams, and disorderly conduct cases on familiar roads like Route 206, Amwell Road, and neighborhood streets. Residents can see where incidents occurred, how suspects were charged, and be reminded to watch for scams, porch thefts, and shoplifting patterns affecting local stores and neighborhoods.
• Meteorite that hit a Hillsborough home may hold life's origins (wpst.com) — A meteorite that crashed through the roof of a Hillsborough home in July 2024 has turned out to be one of the most pristine samples of its kind ever recovered. Carefully preserved by the homeowner, the "Hillsborough" meteorite is now helping NASA and SETI scientists study rare minerals and organic compounds that could reveal how the building blocks of life first reached Earth.
