Week in Review: Primary, School Budget Were Highlights

The Republican and Democratic primary took place this past week, seeing three candidates for two Borough Council seats make their way to the November ballot. It was also a big week for the development of the school budget.

On Monday, we gave you tons of photos from JazzFest, which was held at Drew University. We also brought you photos and a recap of the METC's honoring of Jerry Vezza as their Craftsman of the Year. We previewed the local primary by telling you how, according to an FDU poll, most New Jersey residents didn't even know there was a vote. We also told you how a ballot error could taint the Democratic district primary.

On Tuesday, we updated you throughout the day on the primary, bringing you photos of the candidates voting. We told you how police were looking for your help for information on two burglaries and one break-in. We also told you about new store, Maison Décor. Late Tuesday we brought you the results from the primary.

On Wednesday, we told you about how the Board of Education was looking into an activity fee and the restoration, partial or otherwise, of the elementary Spanish program. We also told you how the final budget was approved, and how it assumes some restorations.

On Thursday, we gave you Kathy Shwiff's look at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's production of "The Taming of the Shrew." We also told you about the Chamber of Commerce's annual awards picnic. Finally, we gave you a look at the upcoming Downtown Concert Series that started on Friday.

On Friday, we told you about the Rose City Steppers, a group that meets for health and fun throughout the borough. We also brought you the police blotter.
