2 Wayne Residents Nominated To Be Judges By Governor Christie

Governor Christie has nominated two Wayne residents to become Superior Court judges.

The nominations, announced Monday night, were part of a long list that included administrative law judges and workers compensation judges, NorthJersey.com reported.

Frank Covello, a Wayne resident who is the general counsel at the North Hudson Sewerage Authority, was nominated to become a Superior Court judge. Another resident, William J. Roca, was nominated to become a workers’ compensation judge. Roca was previously appointed to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission in 2012 in an effort to “shake up” the agency, the website reported, but the nomination stalled in the Senate.

Christie also announced he would reappoint Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes, a Bloomingdale resident.

The nominations require confirmation by the state Senate.
