"This bitch doesn't know what she is in for" - Chris Carney, Sussex County Commissioner and Sussex County GOP 2021 candidate
SCDC CALLS FOR COMMISSIONER CARNEY TO RESIGN
There is no room for confusion here, no pause for debate, and is no laughing matter or mere joke. This was a threat, plain and simple. The commissioner actively threatened a constituent because of political differences, full stop. He appears to have felt so strongly about his resolve to carry out this threat that he made his intentions explicit to his political ally, Mayor Civitan.

“Montague, a one-school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through grade eight, petitioned the state education commissioner in December 2019 for approval to end its relationship with High Point Regional, in Wantage, so it could go back to sending students in grades 9-12 to Port Jervis High School in New York. A subsequent lawsuit by Montague, filed December 2020, accused High Point of bad-faith obstruction of its petition, which was not ruled on and is now a dead issue.”
Furthermore, the district will now have 65 days per state law to appoint a replacement to serve out the remainder of the resigned board member’s term, which expires next April. If no one is appointed, the executive county superintendent will appoint a candidate.
