December 13, 2017 Cloudy with high temperatures barely above freezing and lows in the mid-20s. Brrr! MURPHY NOMINATES INDIAN-AMERICAN SIKH FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL Gov.-elect Phil Murphy is nominating Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal for state attorney general, Nicholas Pugliese reports for The Record. If the state Senate confirms the nomination, Murphy said at a news conference Tuesday, Grewal would be the first South Asian attorney general in New Jersey and the first Sikh attorney general in the country. “The American dream is alive and well in New Jersey,” Grewal said at the news conference in Trenton. Murphy is also expected to nominate Assemblywoman Elizabeth Muoio, a Democrat from Mercer County, as state treasurer today, Brent Marcus and Samantha Marcus report for NJ.com. BON JOVI TO BE INDUCTED INTO ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME In an honor that many music fans say is long overdue, Bon Jovi has been voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rolling Stone reports. The rock band with roots in New Jersey has sold more than 130 million records and its last four new albums have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Keyboardist David Bryan quipped, “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame carrier pigeon dropped by my house and delivered the note.” HACKERS HIT PSE&G PARTNER THAT STORES CUSTOMER DATA As many as 2.5 million customers of Public Service Electric & Gas may be affected by a potential data breach, the state’s largest utility announced late Tuesday. PSE&G said it had been notified by PayPal that there had been unauthorized access to the TIO Networks system that stores customer information for the utility, Tom Johnson writes for NJ Spotlight. Customers who believe they may be affected or have questions should visit www.tio.com or call 1-800-436-7734 for more information. IMMIGRATION ARRESTS AND DEPORTATIONS RISE SHARPLY In a five-day sweep across North Jersey, immigration officers arrested 101 foreign-born residents, a majority of whom have criminal records, federal authorities announced. The arrests were in line with increased immigration enforcement across the country in the Trump administration, Monsy Alvarado writes for The Record. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s operations unit based in Newark says its officers arrested 3,189 people in fiscal year 2017, a 34.7 percent increase over the previous year. NORTH ARLINGTON NAMED BEST PLACE IN U.S. TO RAISE A FAMILY Step aside, California and Massachusetts. Money magazine has named North Arlington the best place in the United States to raise a family. The magazine says the Bergen County borough delivers “a small-town feel” along with “the perks of a big city.” It also cited a 95 percent graduation rate and the availability of professional sports and big-name concerts at MetLife Stadium in nearby East Rutherford.
