NJ Bill A4/S50 Affordable Housing Legislation - Help Slow this Bill Down!!

Dear Harding Friends, I am writing to bring your attention to NJ's new affordable housing bill A4/S50 entitledReforms municipal responsibilities concerning provision of affordable housing; abolishes COAH; appropriates $16 million. Among other things, Bill A-4/S50 seeks to abolish the Council on Affordable Housing and replace it with a new process in which the NJ Department of Community Affairs would take on a major role in the allocation of affordable housing requirements to NJ municipalities. This bill is progressing very quickly along partisan lines despite the bi-partisan opposition to the bill in its current form. Our town attorney, Mike Edwards, has prepared a baker's dozen list of the minimal glaring items wrong with this bill (see link below). Our goal at this point is to slow down this bill long enough to allow significant amendments to be made so that we can avoid the negative effects this bill will have on Harding and other NJ municipalities. Along these lines, we ask that you reach out to your State Assemblypeople and Senators and voice your objection to bill A4/S50 in its current form. If you would like to learn more about A4/S50, please attend the Meet the Mayor event, this Monday, February 5, 2024 at 7 p.m. at Kirby Hall. It is sure to be a hot topic of conversation! Or please reach out to me at the number below.

Thank You Harding Voters!

Harding Friends,

After a few weeks of vote counting in Morris County, we are happy to announce that the votes were certified, and Harding has overwhelmingly voted for our re-election and election to Harding Township Committee. We thank you for the trust you have placed in us and look forward to continuing to serve you and our beautiful town. 

We would also like to thank our campaign volunteers and contributors who made our success possible, and all of those in our community who reached out to us to express thanks, support, and appreciation for our candidacies.  To all of the candidates who ran in this election, we thank you for participating in the democratic process. Finally, we are also thankful to all of the voters who embraced the vote-by-mail mandate, and all else that 2020 has thrown at us, and cast early votes in an effort to help our Board of Elections with the daunting task of processing the paper ballots.  

In the upcoming months, we will continue to support and work with our Harding first responders to combat the pandemic and ensure that they have all that they require to serve Harding as we await a vaccine. Help with Harding also remains active to support anyone in need of assistance. We look forward to the days when our full community can again gather together as one.  We wish Harding's soon to be centenarian, Walter Ness, the happiest 100th birthday, tomorrow, November 24th, and we look forward to the year-long, town-wide celebration of Harding's 100th birthday in 2022!!  

Chris & Rita
