I am fairly new to NJ [View all]
I moved here in late October 2024. I still do not understand the boro system in NJ. I live in Riverdale, population ~4100, half of which live in The Grande where I live. We have to pay for our own mayor, city council, police department. This just seems like such waste when we could combine with other towns like Butler, Bloomingdale, Pompton plains, Pompton lakes, and have one mayor, one city council, one PD.
It just seems so inefficient.
