In other RHONJ news, Caroline's husband Al Manzo resigned from his post on the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission Monday, The Record reported. Manzo came under fire from Gov. Chris Christie last month for allegedly using his Paterson business address instead of his home address on the application for the commission. 

In reports from other media organizations, Manzo reportedly stated that he has always kept an apartment in Paterson and is a Passaic County boy at heart. He resigned from the post stating the scandal  caused "the commission to incur unnecessary legal expenses." Fellow commissioner Michael Cricco  also resigned.
