Six months ago, Dan Kessel of Berkeley Township talked openly about Bud Hub, the cannabis gifting and delivery business he ran with his sister, almost daring law enforcement authorities to investigate and musing about “my goal to be legal.”

Today, Kessel sits in the Ocean County Correctional Facility where he’s been held without bail since Oct. 20. Berkeley Township Police arrested him on money laundering and marijuana distribution charges. They confiscated his jeep, with its Bud Hub signage, $400,000 in cash and an unknown quantity of marijuana from his Berkeley home and a property in Toms River.

in Toms River News

TOMS RIVER, NJ — The Toms River Regional School District will receive $7.6 million in stabilization aid from the state Department of Education, officials formally announced Thursday.

The approval of the stabilization aid temporarily eases the financial distress created in the district under S2, the state law that has continuously cut state funding to the Toms River schools since it was signed into law in July 2018.

“Toms River Regional Schools is relieved and extremely grateful for Governor Murphy’s announcement today that our requested $7.6 million in stabilization aid will be provided,” Interim Superintendent Stephen Genco said.

“On behalf of our students and staff, I thank our board members and community supporters who spent time and effort behind the scenes to fight for our district and for Toms River; our team here who thoroughly and successfully developed our comprehensive application for stabilization aid; and of course Governor Murphy, who has heard our collective voice and who has responded. This is indeed wonderful and welcome news,” Genco said.
