Embattled Municipal Court Judge Rodriguez Not Reappointed By Council

January 7, 2020 Township Council

A New Brunswick attorney who is under a state ethics investigation for comments he made to a defendant while serving as Franklin Township’s presiding Municipal Court judge was not reappointed to that position at the January 6 Township Council reorganization.

The Council chose to not reappoint Hector Rodriguez, who had served as the Municipal Court presiding judge since 2014. Instead, the Council appointed Maureen Vella, a Metuchen attorney, into the top spot.
