Lacey Board Discusses Authority Of Board President
By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Who can assign Board of Education members to committees? That’s the question that was explained during a recent meeting. Board members are assigned committees where a few of them meet to handle issues and then present those issues to the rest of the board. This became an issue when Salvatore

Both the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and Gregor’s defense counsel, Mario Gallucci, appeared remotely before Judge Michael Collins in Ocean County Superior Court. Due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions, Gregor listened to the detention hearing from the Ocean County Jail. After the court acknowledged Gregor’s presence, his image was reduced to a small square on the screen for the balance of the proceedings. Corey’s mother and grandmother, Breanna and Rebecca Micciolo, sat in the front row of the courtroom with family and victim’s advocates offering them support. The two had hoped to get an in-person view of the man they believe took their loved one’s life. “I wanted to see Chris as afraid as he made Corey,” said Breanna before the hearing. “The Prosecutor’s office told me Corey had two lacerations to his heart. My son died of a broken heart.” (No Bail - See Page 18)
