Governing body declines to move resolution that would have OK'd sale of 1 distribution license
A proposal to sell a liquor store license died without a governing body vote Tuesday night. The Township Council declined to move a resolution that would have authorized bidding on a plenary distribution license at its regular meeting, effectively killing the measure that had drawn residents' ire when initially proposed. "I don't believe we need to put the license out to bid at this time," said council President John Ducey, who indicated he would have voted against the resolution. He didn't get the chance. None of the five other council members present offered to "move" the resolution for a vote, which prompted light applause from the back of council chambers. "Now isn't the right time," Ducey said. The resolution would have solicited …

A Chambers Bridge Road man was jailed Friday after police said he assaulted a township woman.

Barao fled the home before police arrived but later returned, where he was arrested. However, he failed to comply with officers' orders and kicked and flailed his arms when …
