It’s not uncommon to have special guess show up at municipal reorganization meetings. But it is a bit unusual to have a sitting U.S. Senator and Congressman appear at the sessions.
That was the case Jan. 1 when newly minted U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-NJ, and Rep. Rush Holt, D-17, showed up at the Township Council reorganization meeting. Both spoke during the session, and Booker swore in the five returning council members – Roz Sherman, James Vassanella, Phil Kramer, Carl R. A.Wright and Theodore Chase – and the new Deputy Mayor, Councilman Brian Regan.
State Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula, D-17, and Somerset County Freeholder Peter Palmer also attended, as did Rocky Hill Mayor Ed Zimmerman.
In addition to the swearing in of the winners of the November election, the session also featured appointments to various boards and commissions, appointments of council members to their respective committees and naming of certain professionals such as municipal attorney and township prosecutor.
