The freeholders approved $53,600 toward a kitchen at the center.
About a week after the biggest dance the Galloway Township Senior Center has staged to date, the Atlantic County Board of Chosen Freeholders announced funding for a new kitchen at the center on Tuesday, April 16. The freeholders announced $53,600 in Community Bank Development Block Grant. "It has long been my contention that Galloway Township should have a County Nutrition Site," Fourth District Freeholder Rich Dase announced in a release issued Tuesday night. "It is something I have been working on and another reason I am seeking re-election in November. Galloway residents currently either go to Egg Harbor City or Absecon. This may be convenient for residents who live close to the borders of these towns, however I think it's a shame …

He chose not to run for reelection this year.
Former Galloway Township Mayor and soon-to-be former councilman Tom Bassford sees stability finally returning to the manager’s office, but he would like to see an increase in numbers for the police department. Bassford’s term as councilman expires at the end of this year, and he’s decided 12 years is enough time to be involved in government. “I’ve always been a believer in term limits,” Bassford said. “I don’t think anyone should be a career politician.” So Bassford didn’t register to run in the Galloway Township Republican League’s (GTRL) primary, to be held June 4. Instead, the GTRL’s four candidates are incumbent Mayor Don Purdy and challengers Frank Gargione, Robert Maldonado and Tim Meadows. “I knew I would not be here 20-25 years, …

The new Galloway Councilman is able to assume the seat immediately following the special election.
New Galloway Councilman Jim McElwee will be sworn in once the results of Tuesday night's special election are certified by the Atlantic County Board of Elections, Galloway Mayor Don Purdy confirmed Wednesday morning, Nov. 7. McElwee defeated John Mooney by a preliminary vote of 6,964-6,265. Provisional ballots were still to be counted Wednesday morning. Board of Elections officials hoped to have the results certified by Friday, but said there may be a delay because of provisions enacted by Gov. Chris Christie following last week's storm. According to Purdy, if the results are certified by Friday, and McElwee's victory is upheld, he will be sworn in during the council meeting on Monday night, Nov. 12. If the results are not certified by the…

Voters in New Jersey on Tuesday cast their ballot for Barack Obama, giving him the state's 14 electoral votes.
Barack Obama won New Jersey’s 14 electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney. In the 2008 presidential election, the state voted for the Democratic candidate, and since the 1990s has voted for the overall winner of the presidential race 3 out of 5 times. Romney and Obama did not campaign aggressively in New Jersey. The state has typically been a Democratic stronghold in recent presidential elections.
