The mayor of Mahwah admitted Wednesday that he drank so much during a party at a township employee’s house that he took off his pants and passed out in her bed, according to a report from NorthJersey.com
Mayor John Roth said in an interview with the news organization that he apologized to the unidentified employee, who did not wish to comment in the report.
The mayor’s actions were detailed in an anonymous letter signed by the “concerned employees of the township of Mahwah” that was circulated last week, according to the report.

Roth was elected Nov. 6, 2018 on the same ballot where former Mayor Bill Laforet was recalled from office.
The recall of Laforet was launched in January 2018 by a group of citizens who were upset about Laforet accusing former Department of Public Works Director Ed Sinclair in 2015 of having pornography on his work computer, based on an anonymous letter he received. Sinclair died a few months later and his family filed sit against Mahwah for wrongful death, saying the stress of the ordeal contributed to his demise.

Kathleen Patricia sounds like it was a great party!
Colleen Desmond Brandt right! I mean. He didn’t drive. He didn’t strip down in public. Hell. I’ve done this at MY own parties. Just slipped away at the end of the night. ????
We’ve all been there.
So the saying goes “it happens to the best of us.”
He should be commended for not driving while drunk

All this tells me is it was a great party and he slept over instead of driving. I don’t see what’s wrong with it. Sounds like he has a hater in his office somewhere.
Ernie May really! He is entitled to a private life and this could have gone wrong in so many ways but didn’t.
Who cares if he is as off duty
Good party!
Thanks for doing the right thing????????

That’s nothing. The old mayor of Berkeley Township got drunk and wanted the Fire Chief to do a live practice evacuation of the Pinewald nursing home.
Who cares. He had a good time and didnt drink and drive.
Did he also take off his shoes and glasses?
Not drunk driving is the important thing ????
