Former Mahwah councilman and Bergen County Freeholder Rob Hermansen is running for a State Assembly seat in District 39
Mahwah resident Rob Hermansen, one of the six people vying for the Republican nomination for a District 39 State Assembly seat, prepared for the upcoming Republican conventions at a hometown fundraiser Wednesday night. Hermansen, a financial advisor who served as a Mahwah councilman from 2006-2009 and Bergen County Freeholder from 2009 through January, said he is looking forward to the conventions, despite a somewhat contentious run for the nomination so far. Hermansen’s decision to run for the seat currently held by Assemblyman Robert Schroeder, who was indicted by a grand jury on charges of stealing money from loaners and writing bad checks, came after he was approached by “a lot of prominent people,” in the Republican Party late last …

State Assemblyman Robert Schroeder was charged with writing almost $400,000 in bad checks.

Schroeder was charged with writing almost $400,000 in bad checks August 3. He previously said he would not give up his seat.

State Assemblyman Robert Schroeder wrote almost $400,000 in bad checks, according to the state attorney general.
New Jersey State Assemblyman Robert Schroeder was charged Friday with writing almost $400,000 worth of bogus checks, according to a press release from the state attorney general's office. Schroeder allegedly wrote the checks to people who invested in his Hillsdale-based company, All Points International Distributors. The company manufactures pre-fabricated structures. Most of the company's business has been with the federal government, according to the press release. Schroeder said he wrote two checks totalling about $100,000 because he believed the U.S. Army had wired him money owed for a contract, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.

Three of the candidates running for two state assembly seats in District 39 clashed over several issues, including increasing the gasoline tax, a tax on millionares and municipal consolidation Monday at a candidate's forum held by the League of Women Voters of Bergen County at Bergen Community College. Democratic candidate Anthony Iannarelli drew criticism from opponents after proposing an increase in the state gas tax - a move he acknowledged was unorthodox, but necessary, in order to fund highway infrastructure and repairs. "It'll probably be the end of my candidacy, but I would recommend a gasoline tax," Iannarelli said. "We are facing a disaster, and I don't want to see people injured or killed because of a highway collapsing or a …

Assembly members Vandervalk and Schroeder had unanimous support for their bills, while Sen. Cardinale signed on to support a new school funding formula
While the Senate and Assembly’s main focus was on the state budget this week, the two bodies found time to also take a look at pieces of legislation that were sponsored by District 39 Assembly members. Sen. Gerald Cardinale signed on in support of the "Fair Funding School Act" and issued a statement on the release of Justine Anne Patterson from the Senate Judiciary Committee.
