Report: Troiano Asks Judge To Toss Second Indictment

A criminal court judge said he will consider the arguments of both parties further before ruling on whether a second state grand jury indictment naming former Wildwood Mayor and Commissioner-elect Ernie Troiano Jr. should be thrown out. The Cape May County Herald reports the state accused Troiano of illegally accepting health benefits while serving as Wildwood’s mayor from 2011 through 2019. The state claims he was not entitled to the benefits under law because he was not a full-time employee in his elected position as mayor.
