Halfacre To Become Director Of Alcoholic Beverage Control

halfacreFair Haven Mayor Mike Halfacre was nominated by Governor Christie today to become the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

The nomination requires the advice and consent of the State Senate. 

Halfacre, who is expected to resign as Fair Haven’s mayor and from his prosecutor jobs in Rumson and Little Silver, is replacing Jerry Fischer who has held the ABC job since 2000.

Halfacre will be leading the 50 person division which regulates nearly 10,000 liquor licensees throughout New Jersey.  The division is charged with implementing the new law that allows New Jersey wineries to ship their products to out of state customers on a limited basis and that allows out of state wineries to ship into New Jersey.

When reached for comment, Halfacre said to pull his ad. He referred all other questions to the Governor’s office.
