Change Of Leadership Underway
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Things will be changing once again in the township; the mayor’s chair will be opening up following the unsurprising victory for Mayor Robert Arace who will become an Ocean County Commissioner. Arace will be one of two new faces on the Board of Commissioners starting a three-year-term when that Board organizes in January. He’ll be joined by Berkeley Board of Education President Jennifier Bacchione in replacing incumbent Commissioners Gary Quinn and Barbara Jo
Crea on the five-member, all-Republican board. Bacchione, who is married to Berkeley Mayor John A. Bacchione, is the executive director of the county GOP. Arace and Bacchione defeated Democrats Regina C. Discenza, a former Lacey Board of Education member and Karen Sugden on election night. Bacchione received the most votes in that contest with 207,910; Arace received 205,639 votes; Discenza received 92,575 votes and Sugden received 91,742 votes.
