• NJ Congresswoman Gives Birth While Battling Assault Charges And Seeking Re-Election (patch.com) — Irvington voters are part of New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District, where Rep. LaMonica McIver just welcomed a new baby while simultaneously fighting federal assault charges and running for re-election this November. The story details her health challenges, legal battle over a protest at Newark’s Delaney Hall, and what’s at stake for her political future.
• Opioid settlement spending shows need for more oversight, NJ advocates warn (newsfromthestates.com) — Irvington is singled out for spending more than a half-million dollars of opioid settlement money on two drug-awareness concerts and for failing to file required spending reports.
