TOMS RIVER, NJ A week after a Toms River Regional Board of Education member accused a Toms River councilman of trying to pressure school board members on their votes on a new superintendent, the controversy continued to grow.

“The New Jersey Laborers Union enthusiastically endorses Ravi Bhalla for mayor. We have seen first-hand how his leadership and commitment to the residents of Hoboken have made a difference,” LIUNA International Vice President and Eastern Regional Manager Ray Pacino said in a statement.
“From protecting vulnerable residents and workers from COVID-19, supporting local business, and upgrading and modernizing Hoboken’s aging infrastructure, Ravi has shown that local government matters and experience and the ability to find practical solutions to the challenges facing Hoboken matters even more.”
Bhalla, seeking a second term in November, is currently running unopposed and raised $43,168 in the first quarter of 2021, with about $114,036 cash on hand, according to an April 15th report filed with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission.
