• Ex-Medford Township manager taking council to state court (mycentraljersey.com) — Medford Township’s former manager, Daniel Hornickel, is suing in Burlington County Superior Court to overturn his April 28 firing and get his job back. He argues council denied him due process and misunderstood the council‑manager form of government, while township officials have so far declined public comment on the dispute.
