A pediatric occupational therapist has been sued by the East Brunswick School District, which alleges they overpaid the business she owns for $200,000 in services that were never rendered.
Rebecca Dean, 42, of Somerset County, faces criminal charges for similar allegations in Edison, where the public school district has alleged in a criminal case that she billed them $75,000 for therapy she never provided.
The East Brunswick suit, filed in Superior Court of Middlesex County, states the district contracted with Dean and Tiny Tots Therapy, for services beginning on Feb. 28, 2008.
For 10 years, the East Brunswick district paid Dean’s company a monthly fee based on invoices submitted by the therapy company, states the suit, filed April 26.

NEW JERSEY – Gov. Murphy has vetoed four bills that deal with the New Jersey economy and allow more governmental oversight over his executive authority
(see list of bills below).
Murphy, who also signed three bills into law, vetoed legislation (A-4810/S-441) on Wednesday that lawmakers say was designed to reduce bureaucratic red tape, improve government efficiency and produce savings for taxpayers.
The vetoed legislation would have created a nine-member Government Efficiency and Regulatory Review Commission to evaluate all proposed and adopted regulations, rules and executive orders. The commission would have considered the impact of rules on the economy and determined if their benefits outweighed the burdens placed on business and government, lawmakers say.
