• Inganamort Demands Answers for $50 Million in Delinquencies as Insurance Rate Hikes Loom (tapinto.net) — Weehawken’s municipal government and Board of Education together owe about $10.2 million in delinquent payments to New Jersey’s state health insurance plans, contributing to pressure for steep premium hikes. A state assemblyman is demanding a collection plan and reforms, warning that taxpayers and compliant towns are effectively subsidizing long-overdue debts from dozens of municipalities and school districts statewide. 
• New Jersey Expected to Lose 11,000 More Jobs as Corporations Flee and Scale Back Garden State Presence (shorenewsnetwork.com) — Weehawken workers are among those hit as UBS files WARN notices for job cuts in town this year, part of more than 11,000 New Jersey positions affected statewide.
