HOWELL – The township’s deputy mayor resigned, leaving a cryptic message on social media.
“I will confirm that I have resigned my post from the Howell Council effective today,” Fred Gasior posted. “There are current internal and external matters going on that because of a potential role I may play in them I am legally required to make no statements about them. The external is a legal matter and I do believe that because the required legal documents have been filed, it is public information that will indicate all of the people who are involved. Those documents are available to the public in the appropriate places. They would also be available to be OPRA’d.”
OPRA stands for the Open Public Records Act, which allows people to request specific documents or files from government entities.
Gasior, a Republican, is currently in his first term on council and has served on the township planning board. He ran for mayor in the primary last year.
He is listed as having retired from both being a public school teacher and a NJ State Trooper. His profile on the Howell GOP website said that he graduated from Trenton State College, Seton Hall University and NJIT, studying engineering.
