• N.J. mayor cut off his own council members' pay. 'I feel like we're being bullied.' (nj.com subscription) — Toms River residents should know that four Township Council members have had their pay suspended after Mayor Dan Rodrick's administration ruled they failed to complete a required local government training course. The council members insist they satisfied the mandate through a Kean University class, escalating an internal power struggle that could affect how your elected officials are trained, paid, and able to serve.
