Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Trenton making moves to acquire long-vacant downtown hotel (trentonian.com) — Trenton officials are moving to buy the long-vacant former Marriott on West Lafayette Street using a $4 million state grant, then transfer it to a developer for $1. The plan would convert upper floors to long-term housing and reopen lower levels as a hotel, aiming to boost downtown foot traffic, restaurants, and businesses after nearly a decade of vacancy.
• Air Force Airman Sentenced to 121 Months' Imprisonment for Receiving Child Pornography (justice.gov) — A U.S. Air Force airman was sentenced in Trenton federal court to just over 10 years in prison for receiving hundreds of child pornography images while stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The case, handled by prosecutors and defense counsel based in Trenton, underscores ongoing Project Safe Childhood efforts to investigate online exploitation of minors in and beyond New Jersey.
• New Jersey Human Services Urges More Than 10,000 Individuals to Respond ASAP to Notices to Check if They Can Regain NJ FamilyCare Coverage (nj.gov) — From Trenton, state Human Services officials are urging about 10,400 New Jersey residents who lost NJ FamilyCare under new federal Medicaid rules to immediately respond to mailed notices so they can be re-evaluated for coverage. The department stresses that many non-citizens, including some family members of veterans, refugees, and other vulnerable groups, may still qualify. If you received an NJ FamilyCare envelope, you're urged to send back the requested documents quickly.
