Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Gina LaPlaca and Jason Carty are facing charges, again. They allegedly submitted false signatures on a petition. The investigation found that some signers claimed they hadn’t signed. LaPlaca and Carty are now facing several charges. LaPlaca’s past DUI case comes to mind. She’s still a member of the township committee. The court appearance is scheduled for September 21.
It’s a familiar pattern: charges, investigations, and court appearances. The details may change, but the sequence remains the same.
