AFFORDABLE GROUSING — The Supreme Court dealt a setback to the suburban towns that challenged New Jersey’s new affordable housing law. On Tuesday, without comment, Justice Samuel Alito denied their request to pause the law as they appeal a lower court decision. “With the U.S. Supreme Court's denial of relief in Montvale v. Davenport, every level of the state and federal courts has now rejected this effort by a small group of towns and their officials to upend New Jersey's landmark affordable-housing law,” Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said in a statement. “We look forward to continuing to defend New Jerseyans' rights to affordable housing under our law.” In a statement, Montvale Mayor Michael Ghassali said he was “proud” of the coalition’s legal challenge despite the loss. “The Mount Laurel Doctrine has existed for 50 years and we made no illusion that it may take a very long time to reverse the harmful elements of it that are destroying our New Jersey communities,” he said. “We will be working with our municipal partners to ensure we continue the fight against a system that serves developers over residents and will lead to bad results decade after decade unless we act.” The law’s biggest sponsor, state Sen. Troy Singleton, called the challenge a "baseless, politically motivated attempts to undermine constitutional obligations under Mount Laurel.”
