MAHWAH, N.J. – The Mahwah Town Council has reversed course on two ordinances allegedly aimed at preventing Orthodox Jews from neighboring Rockland County from using its parks.
In October, the state attorney general’s office sued Mahwah over the ordinances, saying they illegally targeted the Jewish community from nearby New York.
One measure limited the use of a public park to state residents.
The council president told CBS2 the ban was not meant to target any specific group, claiming it’s in response to complaints of people with New York license plates taking over parks.
