Update: Wood-Ridge Borough Administrator/Sarlo Legislative Chief of Staff/Bergen Tax Commissioner Chris Eilert tells the Record:

"We've never done any business with the company, the individual partners listed or their other companies," he said. "It looks like a fishing expedition."

Last week's round of subpoena's, when the US Attorney hit twelve towns instead of just one, looked more like a fishing expedition. Wood-Ridge was apparently the only municipality to receive a subpoena on Friday, so there's a good chance Chris Christie's office was looking for something specific.
