NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—Taxpayers as far away as Pompton Lakes are sharing a growing, multi-million dollar financial burden to fund a team of lawyers representing New Brunswick's Mayor and top police brass in two serious court cases.
In 2012, four African-American police officers filed lawsuits claiming they were discriminated against by their corrupt bosses.
Now, after five years of preparation and posturing, one of the two New Brunswick Police Department (NBPD) cases has been settled.
