The last actions of Palisades Park's former mayor during his "lame-duck" period last December are invalid, a judge ruled this week.

The Bergen County Prosectors Office found political interference had done "immense harm" to the department.

The group is seeking to free the Palisades Park Police Department from what it says is the "leash of a Democratic political boss."

A new chief of police and a lawsuit settlement in Palisades Park were the last acts of a mayor and councilman who will not be returning next year.
