Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis and Oceanport Mayor Jay Coffey and Davis’s reelection kickoff
A coming referendum in the City of Bayonne could shake things up in the Borough of Oceanport.
NewJerseyGlobe reports that Bayonne residents will decide via referendum whether appointees of the mayor must live in the City.

Happy Spring! I’m sure I am joined by many in saying I hope we saw our last snowfall until next winter season.

I’d also like to thank our first responders who were also out working throughout the storm in difficult weather conditions.
