Pascrell Seeks to Open Englewood Office

The Englewood City Council is set to consider a resolution allowing Congressman Bill Pascrell Jr. to open a satellite office in city hall, according to the council's Tuesday workshop agenda. 

The office would be staffed by representatives from Pascrell's office two to three days per week, with a permanent schedule to be decided in cooperation with city officials, the resolution states. 

Under the proposal, the office space would be rent-free and the congressman's office would cover costs associated with the space. 

Pascrell beat fellow Democrat and former Englewood Mayor Steve Rothman for the redrawn district in 2012.
