Governor Murphy Directs U.S. and New Jersey Flags to Fly at Half-Staff in Honor of Buena Vista Mayor Chuck Chiarello

12/19/2019

TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy today ordered that the U.S. and New Jersey flags be flown at half-staff at all state buildings and facilities on Monday, December 23, 2019, in recognition of the passing of Buena Vista Mayor Chuck Chiarello.

“Chuck Chiarello was a mayor’s mayor and a model for what good municipal leadership could do for residents. He loved serving Buena Vista, he loved doing good things for Buena Vista, and he loved making sure we all knew to pronounce it ‘byoo-na.’,” said Governor Murphy. “He was a respected leader among his fellow mayors, being one of only a handful to lead both the League of Municipalities and the Conference of Mayors. He was one of my earliest supporters, and he became my steadfast friend. I will miss his subtle wit and his great warmth. And, so will all of South Jersey and his colleagues from across the state.”
