Koeppe holds a Master of Business Administration from Seton Hall University and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Saint Peter’s University. He is also a Certified Public Accountant.

Morris Habitat for Humanity builds more than just homes—the organization empowers families to build brighter futures for generations to come. Home is the foundation to achieve the strength, stability, and self-reliance that people need to shape a better tomorrow for themselves and their families, says the organization, which is based on Salem Street in the township.

Additionally, every home constructed helps to strengthen the fabric and economies of local communities for all citizens.

Randolph Project

Currently, the organization’s largest project to date, “The Crossings at Bennett Avenue,” is nearing completion on Bennett Avenue in Randolph Township.

Buildings one and two will be completed this year. Buildings 3 and 4 will be completed next year. The project consists of 25 units in four buildings. There will be three bedrooms in seven of the homes, two bedrooms in 14, and one bedroom in four.

Low-income families will pay $90,000 for a one-bedroom unit or $110,000 for a two-bedroom unit. Moderate-income families will pay $130,000 for a one-bedroom unit, $170,000 for a two-bedroom unit, or $190,000 for a three-bedroom unit.

Twenty-five new condos and a community room will be built on the former E.A. Porter industrial site on Bennett Avenue. Residents will enjoy a picnic area, a play area, and a bike path to stores and restaurants on South Salem Street. The 2.5-acre property was acquired by Randolph Township in 2008 through tax foreclosure and was donated to Morris Habitat. The township was responsible for environmental remediation, demolition of existing structures, site design, approvals, and permitting.

Morris Habitat for Humanity is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization, Habitat for Humanity International, committed to building homes, communities, and hope. The organization, which is one of the leading builders of affordable housing in New Jersey, serves 68 municipalities in Morris and Middlesex Counties and the Greater Plainfield area. Through volunteer labor and monetary donations and materials, Morris Habitat builds affordable new homes and provides home repair services to income-eligible families and individuals. Since 1985, Morris Habitat has served nearly 1,000 families by building 188 local homes, preserving 431 homes for low-income and senior residents, and helping 373 families with housing solutions worldwide. The local affiliate organization has engaged more than 150,000 volunteers in its various programs. Morris Habitat also operates a successful ReStore home improvement and furnishings outlet in Randolph which has kept 17,588 tons of reusable materials out of landfills and funded 36 homes.

Coyote Tips & Information: How to Safely Coexist with Wildlife

HANOVER – Hanover Township has received several inquiries from homeowners requesting guidance as to what actions or precautions can be taken if they see a coyote in their neighborhoods. In this regard, the Township reached out to the Wildlife Services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture for helpful tips.

Here is what  Wildlife Services said:

  1. Keep your distance and do not feed coyotes or any other wildlife.
  2. Be a responsible pet owner by keeping your dog on a leash. Do not leave pets unsupervised even in your backyard.
  3. If you should see a coyote, make loud noises to scare it off.
  4. If you are in the territory of a coyote, it will follow you until you are out of its area and are not a threat. 
  5. Coyotes are active at all hours of the day and night. However, they are not an immediate threat and cannot be trapped if they have not caused harm to life or property.
  6. Rabid coyotes are symptomatic, that is, they foam at the mouth, walk in tight circles, and have trouble walking straight. In the event, someone is bitten by a coyote, dial 9-1-1 for medical assistance. 
  7. If a coyote causes “property damage” including biting a pet, digging a hole under a shed or other structure, or building a den in your yard,  a homeowner, or a homeowners’ association (in the case of a condominium development, should contact a private service to trap the coyote.

In recent phone calls from residents, Mayor Gallagher pointed out that overdevelopment in the region has caused wildlife such as coyote, fox and bear to find new habitats thereby making contact with humans more frequent. He stated that this requires everyone to be vigilant in protecting themselves, family pets, and property.

For more information concerning coyotes and other wildlife, you can contact the Division of Wildlife Services at Wildlife.org or call the hotline at (908) 735-4513, Mondays through Fridays between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Letter to the Editor: Concerns Arise Over Parsippany Council’s Handling of PILOTs: A Resident’s Perspective

By

To the Editor:

I have just finished viewing the December 5th Council Agenda meeting in its entirety and several conclusions can be and should be drawn.

The Parsippany residents who sat through that multi-hour meeting are to be commended for their polite and intelligent comments and the questions they addressed to the Mayor and Town Council and the “experts” who showed up just hours before the Council planned to vote on the PILOTs.

The four Town Council members (Gragnatti, Carifi, DePierro, and Neglia) clearly and repeatedly demonstrated an astounding level of ignorance regarding the potential negative impact that PILOTs will have on current and future Parsippany residents. Whether that ignorance was due to their compulsive need to bow to Mayor Barberio’s dictates or just sheer laziness on their part is up for question.

Not once could Mayor Barberio and/or the Council member give a single example of what alternative development options had been considered other than the PILOTs. Nor could any of these elected officials articulate what if any questions or concerns they had raised during the extremely rushed process to review and approve the PILOTs before year-end and the incoming new Council.

Mr. Inglesinio, the developers’ highly paid attorney, expressed incredulity about how any citizen could not be in favor of supporting the Council and the Mayor in their rush to reward the developers with tax breaks that would span 30 years. What Mr. Inglesino failed to say was that given some additional time, a careful and independent financial and impact analysis, and a creative marketing strategy, perhaps a non-PILOT solution could be identified and implemented. Instead Mr. Inglisino, as his practice, utilized a false scare tactic implying that if the PILOTs weren’t approved then Parsippany stood to lose the pittance the developers were eagerly offering. 

With the passage of the PILOTs the municipality, in the person of Mayor Barberio, will get to determine how much of the about-to-be reduced taxes the schools will receive. Given the Mayor’s recent abject failure at managing the last two budget cycles and his bankrupting of Parsippany’s utilities the Board of Education will inevitably be forced to ask Parsippany, via a referendum, for the money required to educate Parsippany children including those who will be living in the residences built by the developers. The tax-strapped Mayor’s expressed willingness to “negotiate” with the Board of Education after ignoring them throughout the PILOT review process does not bode well for Parsippany residents or students.

The absolute failure of the Town Attorney and his firm and the financial “expert” hired by the Council to protect Parsippany’s best interests was shocking.  Hired just two weeks prior, the financial “expert” had virtually no impact on the negotiations with the developers.  Mr. Lavery’s colleague, a development “expert,” gave a general overview of the process by which development occurs, in New Jersey but couldn’t cite a single value add that he and/or Mr. Lavary had provided to Parsippany residents. The bottom line is that Parsippany residents’ interests were completely ignored due to either the implied or direct influence of the Mayor      

Mayor Barberio repeatedly and heatedly complained that “politics” was motivating anyone and everyone who disagreed with him including the dozens of Parsippany residents who spoke up at the Council meeting asking for more information and time to make a reasoned decision. It’s always somewhat bizarre to hear a politician, like Mayor Barberio, disparage his own chosen profession. One town resident suggested that Mayor Barberio was like Nero (another politician) fiddling while Rome burned. Perhaps the Emperor who thought he was wearing New Clothes is a more appropriate reference.

Finally, Councilman Musella truly distinguished himself with his knowledge, questions, and independence all of which served the residents of Parsippany. Perhaps Mayor Barberio and the other Council members will take notice of how best to serve Parsippany residents.

Morris County Board of Elections Disregards Judge’s Order

Council Candidate Adam Kandil

MORRIS COUNTY – In a case brought before the Superior County of New Jersey by Adam Kandil (Petitioner), alongside the Parsippany Municipal Clerk, Morris County Clerk, and Morris County Board of Elections (Respondents), it has come to light that the Morris County Board of Elections has failed to initiate a “Recount or Recheck” of the General Election results for the Township Council position.

On November 29, 2023, Superior Court Judge Stuart Minkowitz rejected the Morris County Board of Elections’ request to revisit the Court’s November 21 decision to “Postpone the Recount and Recheck until December 12.”

During the General Election held on Tuesday, November 9, Parsippany Council Candidate Judy Hernandez, a Democrat, initially secured the fourth position for the three open seats in the all-Republican town. However, following the tallying of provisional and last-minute mail-in ballots on November 15, Hernandez surged to third place, leading Adam Kandil by only two votes. Her victory was officially certified on November 22 by Morris County Clerk Ann Grossi.

As of the current date, the Morris County Board of Elections has yet to conclude the recount and disclose the results for the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township election held on November 9.

Judge Minkowitz also issued an order, stating, “Respondents shall maintain the impoundment of the machines and, except for the purpose of conducting the Recheck or as otherwise mandated by statute, shall refrain from altering the current status quo of the machines utilized in the Township of Parsippany’s General Election for the Office of Borough Councilman until the recount and recheck results have been officially certified.”

If Hernandez secures her victory, the Township Council will witness a Republican majority of 4-1, including a Republican mayor.

It’s worth noting that both Council President Loretta Gragnani and Council Vice President Michael dePierro previously announced their decision not to seek re-election. Gragnani, who served two council terms, and dePierro, who will step down at the end of his term this year, each made significant contributions to Parsippany’s Township Council, with dePierro’s tenure spanning an impressive four decades.

Adam Kandil, a newcomer to the political arena, is making his debut in public office. Kandil is a valued member of Parsippany’s Economic Development Committee.

Judy Hernandez, a Parsippany resident for 24 years, has a distinguished history of service, having previously served on the Parsippany Planning Board, and the Environmental Advisory Committee, and is currently an active board member for the Parsippany Child Day Care Center.

Van Eck continued, “We give young people like Justin Musella, opportunities for networking, mentoring, leadership, and community engagement through a national network and extensive array of programming.”

“Musella is a dedicated Parsippany Councilman, who exemplifies true community empowerment through his commitment to keeping residents informed and engaged in local politics. His passion for public service illuminates the essence of meaningful politics – something to admire and want to emulate. Thank you, Justin,” said Dover Councilman-elect Sergio Rodriguez.

Newly elected Dover Councilman Sergio Rodriquez, Musella, and newly elected Sussex County Commissioner Jack DeGroot.

Dr. Stephen Roman, MD, and Assemblyman Brian Bergen
Joseph Roman, Adam Kandil, and Casey Parikh extend heartfelt congratulations to Justin Musella on his well-deserved recognition.

Musella kicked off the evening with an opening statement: “I cannot thank America’s Future in particular my friends Grant and Sam enough for this award — the significance of which is not lost on me. The question that I would like to answer tonight is, what can we as individuals do to fight for freedom? Individually, we can do a lot—we can educate and persuade those of different beliefs to understand the importance that free markets, limited government, and individual responsibility play. Collectively, we can participate in the political process to support candidates and policies aligned with principles of limited government and individual freedom. The tactical focus is the context of what can be done at the local level to improve our ability to be as free as possible to pursue our objectives.”

Musella with door prize winner Rob Kusant

“We have the power to shape policies that directly impact your lives. Whether it’s decisions made by our own Township Council or School Board, these actions collectively mold the environment in which we live. This has been seen recently with the unprecedented number of people regularly coming to our Council meetings advocating against policies that by and large reward special interests at the expense of the public’s interest. Citizen involvement is crucial to ensuring any policies implemented reflect our values and respect the fundamental rights of individuals,” he continued.

Sergio Rodriguez was joined by Morris County Young Republican Chairman Christopher Paz and Attorney Jonathan Cohen at the event.
Timothy Berrios and John Campbell

Musella continued “If I could ask you to remember one thing it would be that the strength of a town lies in the collective character of its people. The choices we make when nobody is paying attention shape the culture of our communities, influencing future generations and determining the course of our society. It is our responsibility, as guardians of freedom, to remain vigilant, to act with integrity, and to champion individual liberties at every opportunity. Equally as important, is to hold those accountable who get elected on this very message and then betray the trust of their constituents by reneging on these principles. In these divided times we live in however, I believe it’s a commitment to these basic values that can unite all Americans regardless of political affiliation, who all place a very high value on their freedom and their freedom to pursue their path in life.”

America’s Future offers rising generations opportunities for networking, mentoring, leadership, and community engagement through our national network and extensive array of programming.

Musella’s family provided unwavering support and cheers during the event, with Greg Lewis, Shana Lewis, Courtney Musella, Angela Musella, Joseph Musella, Beverly Pirone, and Carmine Pirone proudly by his side.

The concept behind Sewa Diwali is simple yet profound: selfless service. It revolves around giving back to society during the festive season of Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights.” Throughout October, November, and December, residents generously donated canned non-perishable foods, aiming to provide much-needed support to underprivileged families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.

The participating organizations in this admirable endeavor include:
