Montvale NJ ,a bipartisan group and growing list of New Jersey mayors, led by Montvale Mayor Mike Ghassali, has filed a lawsuit against the recently enacted housing law, P.L. 2024, c. 2. This action, brought by the Local Leaders for Responsible Planning (LLRP) coalition, challenges the new housing mandates and aims to protect local communities’ right to manage their growth responsibly.
Parsippany-Troy Hills which was named as one of the best places to live in America and the Garden State, has now approved the resolution to join the coalition. This lawsuit was the only way that we could get officials in Trenton to pay attention to the issues and concerns that we and our residents have about this brand-new process that was imposed upon us. This lawsuit is not about delaying or obstructing affordable housing, it is about advocating for a coherent, statewide strategy for building affordable housing that reflects modern development patterns and allows for responsible local planning without the fear of developers leveraging every large parcel in town for high density housing.
To my fellow republican and democrat mayors, if you are watching us from the sideline fighting for all of our residents, including yours, and saying “if they win we win”, you should do just that and step aside, and let a real leader listen to the residents and lead.

That’s the message you can give to your residents.

Where are Ridgewood and Paramus? Do they plan to get on board?
Don’t expect Glen Rock’s “identity check the box” “historic” council to do anything, either……………………………..
Ridgewood will not join. They are too RICH and STUPID
good to see mayors pushing back on this BS
Not ours!!!!
This is just a scam for the lawyers to get a big pay day. The taxpayers will pay for it & the homes will still get built.
