Government

Local government

Riverside Township is governed under the Township form of New Jersey municipal government, one of 141 municipalities (of the 565) statewide that use this form, the second-most commonly used form of government in the state.[37] The Township Committee is comprised of five members, who are elected directly by the voters at-large in partisan elections to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle.[3][38] At an annual reorganization meeting, the Township Committee selects one of its members to serve as Mayor and another as Deputy Mayor, each for a term of one year.

As of 2020, members of the Riverside Township Committee are Mayor Jason M. Frey (D, term on committee ends December 31, 2021; term as mayor ends 2020), Deputy Mayor Corey S. Kimble (D, term on committee and as deputy mayor ends 2020), Lorraine M. Hatcher (D, 2021), Matthew Kirk (R, 2020; elected to serve an unexpired term) and Michelle M. Weaver (D, 2022).[4][39][40][41][42]

In March 2019, the Township Committee chose Michael Higgins from a list of three potential candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that became vacant when Michael D. Miller submitted his resignation.[43] In the November 2019 general election, Republican Matthew Kirk defeated Higgins by a single vote and was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[40][44]

In January 2018, Republican F. Michael Hart was selected by the Township Committee from a list of three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2019 that was vacated by Robert R. Prisco after he resigned to accept a Judicial appointment to a New Jersey Workers' Compensation Judgeship; Hart served on an interim basis until the November 2018 general election,[45] when voters elected Democrat Michelle Weaver to serve the balance of the term of office.[41]

In July 2016, Jason Frey was selected by the Township Committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2018 that was vacated by Timothy LeConey when he announced that he was resigning and moving out of the township.[46] Frey served on an interim basis until the November 2016 general election, when he was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[47]

On Election Day, November 7, 2006, Mayor Chuck Hilton and fellow Republican incumbent James Ott were defeated by their Democratic opponents, newcomers Lorraine Hatcher and Thomas Polino. An anti-immigration ordinance passed by the Township Committee that imposed fines on any business that hires or any landlord who rents to an illegal immigrant was a major issue in the campaign.[48]

As of May 2010, the township had a total of 27.39 miles (44.08 km) of roadways, of which 24.14 miles (38.85 km) were maintained by the municipality and 3.25 miles (5.23 km) by Burlington County.[93]

NJ Transit provides bus service in the borough on the 419 route that runs between Camden and Burlington.[96][97]

In film

Riverside was used for the filming of the film Jesus' Son and was the site of picketing by nuns who objected to the implication from the film's title that Jesus fathered a child.[98][99]

Immigration debate

In July 2006, a controversial ordinance was passed by the township committee trying to handle the large amount of unauthorized immigrants, primarily from Brazil, that had moved into the township. The ordinance stated that employers who hired an illegal immigrant and landlords who rented to them would be fined $1,000 - $2,000 per incident and could possibly lose their business license. In response to the ordinance, several civil groups including the ACLU and People for the American Way took or contemplated legal actions against the ordinance.[100][101]

In August 2007, the ordinance was repealed, and some have speculated that the exodus of over 1,000 immigrants from Riverside to other New Jersey townships was a major factor.[102] The ordinance repealing the law cited the high cost of defending it against further legal challenges.[103]

Notable people

Many people born in Riverside Township were born at Zurbrugg Hospital during a period of about 75 years beginning in 1915.[104] People who were born in, residents of, or otherwise closely associated with Riverside Township include:
