📰 News we're reading
• 'Not a one-person job:' Bernardsville explores exit from Bernards Health Department (newjerseyhills.com) — Long Hill Township currently receives public health services from the Bernards Township Health Department, which may be reshaped if Bernardsville leaves the regional arrangement over rising costs. Bernardsville officials are weighing a cheaper, five-year contract with the Somerset County Health Department against staying with Bernards, which also serves Long Hill and other nearby towns. Any change could affect how regional health resources and staffing are shared.
