Hillside Residents Face Privacy Invasion Debate
GOP candidates Joseph T. Loeb and Dominick F. Aiello issued a joint statement denouncing plans by Hillside’s Democrat mayor for township dwelling inspections.

Apathy Dims Local Gubernatorial Campaign Impact
Local voters show apathy as the gubernatorial race nears end. Incumbents Lute Share and Mayor Alexander J. Menza face challenges from Joseph T. Loeb and Dominick F. Aiello amid tax concerns and government service costs. Three public questions—water conservation bonds, a constitutional convention for voting age 18, and a state lottery for education funding—appear favored. Independent write-in Gary D. Lehner seeks youth support. A surge of 1,000 new registered voters could shift a possible 3-2 GOP majority.
