GLEN RIDGE, NJ — Peter Hughes, who has served on the Glen Ridge Borough Council since 2001 and who served as the borough’s mayor from 2008 to 2016, was again sworn into office as a council member on Tuesday, Jan. 3.
“We in Glen Ridge pride ourselves in volunteerism, and Peter is the epitome of this,” Mayor Stuart Patrick told The Glen Ridge Paper. “He’s never not there; (he’s) always ready to do the job. He’s been on every committee and understands the problems. He is part of a considerable body of institutional knowledge and the epitome of our institutional memory.”
