📰 News we're reading
• Jackson Budget Vote Sparks Employee Fears After Council Deadlock Nearly Jeopardized Benefits and Payroll (shorenewsnetwork.com) — Jackson Township’s latest council meeting nearly derailed funding for employee health benefits and other obligations before a last-minute vote change kept coverage intact, but a key appropriations cap ordinance still failed. That defeat could force nearly $1 million in additional cuts from an already tight budget, raising the risk of future staffing reductions and service impacts if council members can’t reach agreement soon. 
• Redesigned Shore golf course holes drawing raves: 'Love the aesthetics' (app.com) — A Jackson resident is among the golfers praising the newly redesigned 16th and 17th holes at Knob Hill Golf Club in nearby Manalapan, which now offer wider, more scenic and challenging play. Members say the revamped layout, with shifted fairways and a reworked green complex, improves both aesthetics and playability while keeping the semi-private course welcoming to public golfers.
