The state Libertarian Party is targeting towns they say are abusing the practice of downgrading criminal charges in municipal court to boost revenue and clear away cases. They even have a name for their effort — the Preempted Ordinance Repeal Project. And Somerville and South Bound Brook are among their prime immediate targets.
The project name refer to outdated municipal ordinances that have been preempted by state law, but remain on the books and are used to downgrade certain criminal charges — like, for example, a simple assault — to the municipal violation.
