Ridgewood NJ, ‘Middle age’, ‘Midlife Renewal’, ‘Second Adulthood’. Reaching the middle of your life can be viewed as a time of celebration or dread, depending on your perspective.

Paterson NJ, Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin today announced a new indictment against Shelim Khalique, the operator of a pair of Paterson school bus companies who had been previously indicted in June 2020 for allegedly using unqualified drivers to operate school buses and misleading public-school districts.
