ELIZABETH — A car crashed into the wall of a Union County high school on Monday morning.

The vehicle that crashed through the wall was spotted driving erratically on Bridge Street heading toward the school. It ran a red light at Pearl Street and drove onto school property, according to Contreas.

School operations were not disrupted by the crash, officials said.

You've heard of retail politics. Now get a load of this: Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill is set to ring in her first days in office with a black-tie inaugural ball on the ice rink at the American Dream mall.

The choice to hold the inaugural at the once-sprawling eyesore of the Meadowlands is drawing buzz across New Jersey. The Bergen County mall is now a regional destination with high-profile attractions and luxury brand retailers but the choice also brings some backlash.

The Jan. 20 event for Sherrill and Lt. Gov.-elect Dale Cadwell is expected to draw about 2,000 attendees and will take place inside the massive East Rutherford complex. Tickets are $350 per person, with proceeds benefiting Mission to Deliver NJ, Sherrill’s nonprofit advocacy organization focused on affordability, economic development, and civic engagement.

Organizers say the night will be a showcase New Jersey pride, The Globe reported. And since it's a night for celebrating, not fighting, they'll serve both Taylor ham and pork roll 🙄.

What will you remember most about Phil Murphy?

Will it be his record spending?

Maybe his despotic policies during the pandemic?

Increased taxes and fees?

His failed energy policies that resulted in skyrocketing utility bills?

Murphy and his union allies are out with a new video that touts his legacy to New Jersey and it doesn't mention any of those things.

Instead, the video claims he built "a stronger and fairer New Jersey that works for every family."

Check it out, and let me know what you think Murphy's legacy will be.
