ERUV AND CIVIL RIGHTS

"NJ Now" host Jim McQueeny confirmed that the town of Mahwah, NJ received a letter from the state Attorney General's Office Division of Civil Rights accompanying a subpoena seeking information on enforcement of a township ordinance.

The letter came amid tension over the town's decision to remove the eruv, a religious boundary, and recent efforts to ban out-of towners from municipal parks.

Similar concerns have spread to neighboring towns. The subject could strike into the heart of NJ's governor's race, as Woodcliff Lake Mayor and lieutenant governor candidate Carlos Rendo -- Kim Guadango's running mate -- is quoted in a northjersey.com article: "We welcome everybody, whether they're Christians, Jews, Muslims. I don't think there should be any fear about who's moving in."
