    North Jersey Media Group
    MICHAEL L. DIAMOND @MDIAMONDAPP

    The Record in Bergen County, a major North Jersey


    media company, was purchased Wednesday by the parent company of the Asbury Park Press and five other
    New Jersey newspapers.
    The acquisition by Gannett Co. Inc. creates New
    Jerseys largest media company with a network of
    journalists stretching from Bergen County in the
    north to Cumberland County in the south. It is expected to give readers of the newspapers and digital sites
    access to more statewide news.
    Gannett continues to execute on its local market
    growth strategy, Robert Dickey, president and CEO
    of Gannett, said. This latest acquisition positions the

    Monmouth
    County to N.J.:
    Show us the
    911 money
    SUSANNE CERVENKA @SCERVENKA

    FREEHOLD - Monmouth County officials have one


    demand for New Jersey leaders: Show us the money.
    More specifically, fees the state collects from residents for 911 services that Monmouth County which
    at one point got $350,000 a year hasnt seen in six
    years. Adding insult to injury for local leaders is a push
    from state lawmakers to hike that fee by 10 percent.
    We want to know where that moneys going. We
    know where it should be going. That money should be
    coming back to the entities that are providing that service, Monmouth County Freeholder Director Tom
    Arnone said during a Wednesday afternoon press conference. We need to be loud, outspoken and request
    our money and more importantly demand our money.
    Everyone pays a monthly 90-cent surcharge for each
    phone line on phone bills. New Jerseys 2017 budget estimates it will collect $124.3 million in fees, formally
    called the 911 System and Emergency Response Fee.
    The state budget shows some of the money is spent
    on state costs for 911 services. But those costs total

    Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton waves to supporters after speaking outside the former Trump Plaza during
    a campaign stop in Atlantic City on Wednesday.

    ATLANTIC CITY - Standing before the remnants


    of the now-shuttered Trump Plaza casino, Hillary
    Clinton tore through Donald Trumps shameful
    business record Wednesday, urging voters not to support a candidate who would do for the country what
    he did in Atlantic City.
    His bad decisions hurt the whole city, Clinton
    said before a crowd of 500 people, referring to
    Trumps multiple bankruptcies and trail of stiffed
    workers while operating three casinos here. Its not
    about what he can build, its about how much he can
    take.
    In a 30-minute speech, Clinton repeatedly hit hard
    against Trumps casino practices and said he had a
    penchant to look out for himself at the expense of others including workers and small-business owners
    who built Trumps casino empire but were never
    paid.
    The people he is trying to convince to vote for him

    now are the same people hes been exploiting for


    years: Working people, small-business people trying
    to support their families, she said, citing a cabinetmaker and a music store owner who were never paid
    for their work. This is personal for me, said Clinton,
    whose father was a small-business owner.
    Clinton made no mention of the FBIs decision
    Tuesday not to pursue charges over her controversial
    email practices while serving as secretary of state in
    the Obama administration. FBI Director James Comey said she was extremely careless in handling
    classified information on a private email and personal internet server, but that the conduct did not justify criminal charges.
    Instead, Clinton focused her attention on poking
    holes in Trumps reputation as a jobs-creating business mogul a calling card the presumptive GOP
    presidential nominee has touted on the campaign
    trail and in his reality television show.

    gets a no from
    Planning Board

    LAKEWOOD - The Planning Board has denied a


    change-of-use request that would have allowed a local
    yeshiva to continue operating a school with a dormitory
    in a single-family home on Gudz Road.
    Last month the township closed down Mesivta Meor
    Hatorah after its neighbors complained about the unsightly condition of the property, citing an unmaintained
    in-ground swimming pool filled with debris, unmowed
    grass and a double-wide trailer parked on the front lawn.
    Located on the edge of a newer subdivision of attractive homes in the northwest section of town, the school
    operated in the predominantly Orthodox neighborhood
    for some time without obtaining the necessary approvals from the township.
    At Tuesdays Planning Board meeting, the schools
    troubles deepened when the board voted 4 to 3 to deny its
