Revised
municipal
budget
presented
By NORA CARNEVALE
The Sun
The Hopewell Township Com-
mittee presented a revised munic-
ipal budget at its March 24 meet-
ing, reducing the tax rate from
the original document it present-
ed on March 18.
The new tax rate of 34.23 cents
per $100 of assessed property
value represents an increase of
2.43 cents compared to 2013. It
would mean the average home-
owner in town will pay an addi-
tional $97.20 in municipal taxes
per year. The proposed budget to-
tals $20.96 million.
The proposed budget will be
subject to a public hearing on
April 28. After the public hearing,
the committee will then have the
opportunity to adopt or amend it.
The budget increase is a result
of a loss of income due to weath-
er, state-mandated expenses with-
out funding and debt that needs to
be paid.
The township budget meeting
on March 18 resulted in an agree-
ment among the committee mem-

Students at several Hopewell
Valley schools can expect to see
many familiar faces in new roles
starting in the 2014-2015 school
year.
At its March 17 meeting, the
Hopewell Valley Regional Board
of Education approved a number
of appointments, including a new
assistant superintendent, direc-
tor of human resources and Tim-
berlane Middle School principal.
All three new positions will take
effect on July 1.
These appointments place
several proven, key staff mem-
bers in vital positions, Superin-
tendent Tom Smith said. They
will work to strengthen and con-
tinue to improve our already very
strong school district.
Current Assistant Superin-
tendent Richard Lang, who has
served the district for 30 years,
will retire on June 30. He will be
passing the torch to Christine
Laquidara. Laquidara, who has
been in the district since 2001, has
been appointed to a newly struc-
tured position, combining her
current duties with her new role.
She is currently director of cur-
riculum and instruction. That po-
sition will be combined with the
assistant superintendent position
and she will maintain her current
duties as well as new responsibili-
ties, such as teacher evaluations.
Laquidara previously served
as vice principal at Hopewell Ele-
mentary School and Stony Brook
Elementary School, and was prin-
cipal of Hopewell Elementary
School until moving to the admin-
istration office as director of cur-
riculum in 2010.

The following have been re-


ported from the Hopewell Valley
Police Department:
On March 12 at 3 p.m., employ-
ees of the Pennington Market
called police to report that they
had a shoplifter in the store and
were monitoring him until the po-
lice could arrive. Officer William
Gaskill responded to the store
and located the 79-year-old male
exiting the store with the stolen
merchandise. The three items
stolen totaled less than $20. He
was arrested and charged with
shoplifting and transported to po-
lice headquarters. His case will
be heard in municipal court.
On March 12 at 9:20 p.m., Offi-
cer Grey observed a white GMC
van travelling north on Route 31
near Diverty Road operating
without its headlights on. She
stopped the vehicle and spoke
with the driver, who was a 49-
year-old male from Ohio Avenue,
Trenton. Grey detected the odor
of alcohol on his breath and per-
son. Based on her investigation
and the results of field sobriety
testing, the male was placed
under arrest for driving while in-
toxicated and impaired. He was
transported to police headquar-
ters where he was charged with
DWI, refusal to submit to testing,
reckless driving, driving without
headlamps, having non-working
brakes and having an unsafe ve-
hicle. He was processed and re-
leased. His case will be heard in
municipal court.
On March 14, at 5 p.m. Officer
Grey was dispatched to the park-
ing lot of the Rite Aid on Route 31
for the report of a man who had
fallen. Upon arrival, she located a
60-year-old man of Madaket Lane,
Pennington, on the ground next
to his vehicle in the parking lot.
While speaking with the man, she
detected the odor of alcohol on
his breath and person. He stated
he was not injured and refused
medical treatment. Upon further
investigation, Grey arrested the
man for driving while intoxicat-
ed. He was taken into custody
and transported to police head-
quarters. He was processed and
released and charged with driv-
ing while intoxicated and reck-
less driving. His case will be
heard in municipal court.
On March 18 at 11:13 a.m., Offi-
cer Toth was detailed to the
Hopewell Valley High School for a
hit and run investigation. School

derbird pull into a parking spot
and strike an unoccupied vehicle
parked next to it. The driver then
backed out of his spot and moved
his vehicle to another spot and
left the area in a third vehicle.
Through his investigation, Toth
identified the driver of the strik-

T
he states of Colorado and
Washington legalized marijua-
na for recreational purposes in
2012. Could New Jersey be next?
State Sen. Nicholas Scutari is hop-
ing that it will. This week, he is sched-
uled to formally present a bill that
would legalize marijuana in the state
and tax it heavily. His bill would be
modeled after those in Washington
and Colorado, which earned $2 million
in the first month of sales last year.
Scutaris bill plans to tax and regu-
late marijuana much like alcohol, and
he estimates that New Jersey could
earn $100 million per year in revenue
from weed tax.
Anybody that looks at the facts
knows that the war on marijuana has
been a miserable failure, Scutari said
in a press release. Were not delusion-
al about how simple the effort would
be, but I think from a standpoint of
moving this state and this country for-
ward on its archaic drug laws, I think
its a step in the right direction.
From a purely financial perspective,
legalizing marijuana makes sense.
While $100 million may seem like an
inflated number, its probably not out
of the realm of possibility. New Jersey
had 2 million more residents than
Washington as of the 2010 Census and
3.7 million more than Colorado.
Much like alcohol consumption and
gambling, if people are going to par-
take in the practice of smoking mari-
juana, why not reap the benefits of
taxing the substance while at the
same time avoiding the cost of polic-
ing against it?
From an operational standpoint,
New Jersey has two other states to
model its plan after, plus many other
states in the U.S. that have decriminal-
ized the possession of marijuana for
recreational use. The Garden State has
also already legalized its use for med-
ical purposes.
People are also behind its legaliza-
tion. Lake Research Partners released
a poll last year that said 59 percent of
Jersey voters would support a bill
such as this, and an October Gallup
poll said 58 percent of Americans are
in favor of marijuana legalization.
But then, of course, comes the
curveball emotion, morality and ex-
ample.
Just because people do it doesnt
make it right. And just because states
can legalize and tax marijuana doesnt
mean they should.
What example does legalizing mari-
juana set for our children? How far
will we go just to make, or save, a
buck? Or are we just being too prudish
about this weed thing?
in our opinion
Puff, puff, pass ... on lower taxes?
Should New Jersey give green light to legal marijuana? Its an interesting case
Your thoughts
Should New Jersey legalize and tax
marijuana for recreational purposes? Or
would it be doing too much for the
allmighty dollar? Share your thoughts
through a letter to the editor.
ing vehicle as an 18-year-old male of Coach
Lane, Titusville. He was charged with fail-
ure to report an accident, leaving the scene
of an accident and careless driving. Both
vehicles sustained moderate damage.
On March 10 at approximately 10:30
a.m., Officer Vastola was detailed to Gen-
try Ct. on the report of a man threatening
to kill another. Upon arrival, Vastola spoke
with the victim who is employed as a main-
tenance worker in the complex. The vic-
tim stated that a resident who he knew had
made verbal threats to kill him. Based on
his investigation, Vastola arrested a 58-
year-old male of Gentry Court for making
the threats. When he attempted to take the
man into custody, he physically resisted
the officers efforts. With the assistance of
other officers, he was then taken into cus-
tody. He was charged with terroristic
threats and resisting arrest, and his case
will be forwarded to the Mercer County
Prosecutors Office.
On March 19, Sgt. Mckeown was on pa-
trol on Route 29 near the Mercer County
Correctional Center. He observed a green
Cadillac travelling with a broken taillight.
He stopped the car and spoke with the driv-
er, a 25-year-old male of Greenland Avenue,
Trenton. A check of the drivers license
showed his driving privileges had been
suspended in New Jersey and he had an
outstanding warrant from the City of
Trenton for another unrelated motor vehi-
cle violation. He was arrested and trans-
ported to police headquarters where he
was processed and released after posting
bail on the warrant. He was cited for the
broken taillight and for driving while sus-
pended. His case will be heard in munici-
pal court.

School, has been appointed to a
newly structured position as well,
director of human resources and
special projects. In his new role,
he will supervise all hiring in the
district, which is currently one of
Langs primary duties. Addition-
ally, he will be responsible for ne-
gotiations with the employee

Lang described as a long, slow
dance. Suozzo came to the dis-
trict in 1997 as a wellness teacher.
He then served as supervisor of
the districts wellness program,
and then vice principal and prin-
cipal of Timberlane.
The final new appointee is
Rosetta Treece. Currently vice
principal at Timberlane, she will
become principal in June. Treece
came to the district in 2012. For-
merly, she was vice principal of
Northern Burlington County Re-

ment at Timberlane has not been

bers that, regardless of their dif-
fering opinions on the causes for
a projected tax increase, moving
forward, the committee will have
a unified vision for the future of
the township.
Deputy Mayor Allan Cannon
explained at the last meeting that
the township is going to have to
make some tough decisions re-
garding its expectations versus
realty.
We all have expectations of
what living in Hopewell is sup-
posed to be like, but we also have
a mathematical problem because
the money has to come from
somewhere. Promises have been
made to us from the state that
have not been held. The state is
going to get worse and worse. If
we cut out the amount that we get
from the state, that is the only
way we can measure what our
town is capable of. This township
has a credit rating that eclipses
the state, so we have to make
some difficult choices. Mathemat-
ically, we have a problem, and its
not due to us, Cannon said.
Mayor Vanessa Sandom also
emphasized her intention to dis-
cuss necessary financial cuts
after budget season comes to an
end.
It is hard to get everyone to
think broadly about it after the
budget cycle is over with and, in
my opinion, we are failing our
taxpayers in this respect because
it never gets done, and we cannot
keep asking our employees to do
more with less, Sandom said.
We need to look at what we can
do to get out of the three-cent hole
we are in, and we need to live
within our means.
The committee has been con-
cerned about the risks of further
dipping into the townships sur-
plus and counting on the next
