📰 News we're reading

• Hillsborough Delays Vote On Audit Corrective Action Plan (patch.com) — Hillsborough residents are getting extra time to review the 2025 township audit corrective action plan after the Township Committee postponed its vote to Sept. 8. Officials explained there are only three remaining audit items, including reserve balances, old ordinance-related deferred charges, and an overdue fixed asset inventory, while noting potential penalties if the vote is delayed too long.
   

• Hillsborough OKs Police Promotions, Vehicle Purchase, IT Backup Upgrade (patch.com) — Hillsborough's Township Committee has finalized promotions for two police supervisors and approved spending on a new patrol SUV, radio, and IT battery backup, plus a new phone system for the township and police department. These upgrades replace aging equipment and are intended to support more reliable emergency communications and day‑to‑day police operations in town.
   

• Daily Clips 9/1/2026 (njsba.org) — One item in this statewide school news roundup focuses on Hillsborough's superintendent, who is promising more transparency about the district's finances and continuing to push for fairer state aid after years of underfunding. That comes as some township residents voice frustration over rising property taxes needed to support local schools.
