Recupero Boy Given Mayor’s Award
   Mayor Pat Lepore recently presented Salvatore Recupero with the “Mayor’s Award” for his decisive action in an emergency.
  This was especially significant because Salvatore, a pre-schooler at Magic Years in West Paterson, is only 5-years-old.
  He called 9-1-1 when his mother, Marissa Recupero, fell unconcious, and he summoned help from the Police and First Aid Squad.
   In so doing, Salvatore protected both his mother and infant brother from harm.

in our future if we're going to stay on top. As a result of decisions
made across administrations and across party lines over the past
20 years, New Jersey has amassed over $30 billion in debt and
staggering unfunded pension and healthcare liabilities. ...”
