About BerkeleyHeights.news
An independent, resident-run civic watch site for Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.
Who runs this site
BerkeleyHeights.news is edited and published by Berkeley Heights resident Tom Maciejewski. It is an independent civic watch site and is not affiliated with the township, the school district, or any campaign. Original reporting identifies its sources, and public-record tools link readers to the underlying material whenever it is available.

How this site works
Software monitors official public sources and turns them into plain-English pages:
- Meeting agendas, minutes, and packets from the township, Board of Education, and land-use boards.
- Official meeting videos, which are transcribed and summarized into meeting recaps.
- Township bill lists, which feed the spending dashboard and bill pages.
- Public meeting calendars, executive-session references, and library finance records.
- Local news stories about Berkeley Heights from area outlets.
AI disclosure
Software and AI assistance help monitor records, transcribe meetings, and identify possible reporting leads. Automated vote-watch leads are consolidated on one clearly labeled page instead of being published as standalone news articles. Original reporting and analysis receive human editorial review before publication. Automated summaries can miss context, so readers should use the linked source record when precision matters.
