New Jersey voters won’t just be choosing the next president on Election Day —the state has two questions on the ballot that could have an impact on your wallet. The referendum questions deal with extra funding for colleges’ infrastructure and benefits payments for judges.

River Edge voters will see a third referendum question on their ballot as well - should the borough establish a municipal trust fund for recreation and conservation? The Open Space Trust Fund was voted down last November 1,136 to 1,013 after a portion of the funding had been used for the two prior years to cover the salary and wages of three DPW workers who oversee the maintenace of the parks.

There are 5,784 registered voters in Oradell and 7,001 in River Edge. During the last presidential election, Oradell was split 2,245 to 2,491 between Obama supporters and John McCain's. River Edge was likewise a mixed bag with 2,965 voting for Obama and 2,577 in favor of McCain.
