Additionally, the resident appealed to the council to help diffuse tension between New Brunswick Today and the New Brunswick Board of Education, citing the board's spending on a lawsuit against the newspaper and alleged resistance to transparency. The resident pointed to statewide interest in a judge's ruling and statements from the New Jersey Press Association supporting the newspaper.
