Good morning, Morristown.
🏘️ Community
Residents will receive a yellow plastic bag from their mail carrier on Saturday to fill with non-perishable food items for local food pantries — part of the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
Food Bank executive Duncan Lawson said hunger in the area has increased and the drive has already collected 1,000 pounds of donations.
🎓 Education
Nineteen Roxbury High School choir students were selected to the New Jersey All State Honors Choir with senior Jasper Fernandes earning first in the state+ the chosen singers will perform in concerts planned for November and February.
🏛️ Government
Assembly bill 5433 is under review following a busy public hearing where restaurant owners warned that ending the tip credit could raise labor costs—while supporters say it will stop wage theft and give service workers a fair wage.
The proposed law would phase in a full minimum wage of $15.49 for tipped jobs, a change that local restaurants say may force them to raise prices.
🏈 Sports
The Morris/Sussex Athlete of the Week poll is open until 5 p.m. Thursday — coaches have nominated local athletes based on standout performances in recent games and tournaments.
