📰 News we're reading
• Middleboro man charged in alleged multi-state property fraud scheme (shrewsburypost.com) — Federal prosecutors say a Somerset man is among three people charged in an alleged multi-state property fraud and money laundering scheme tied to about $1.5 million in real estate proceeds. While the case is being handled in Boston, it directly involves a Somerset resident, meaning local readers may see federal court developments and potential sentencing that touch the community. 
• EDGAR Filing Documents for 0001493152-26-035712 (sec.gov) — A new SEC Form 4 filing shows CareCloud, Inc. reporting insider stock ownership changes while listing its mailing and business address at 7 Clyde Road in Somerset. For local residents, this confirms that a publicly traded technology company continues to base key operations right in town, underscoring Somerset’s role as a hub for corporate offices.
• How NJ is still in a drought despite severe summer storms (northjersey.com) — Despite recent downpours, Somerset County remains part of a northern New Jersey region still running several inches below normal rainfall for the year, keeping the state under a drought warning. Local residents are urged to keep following water-use guidance, since heavy summer storms don’t fully replenish groundwater and it may take through fall or winter before conditions truly improve.
