Secaucus Mayor Michael Gonnelli moved to rehab center after stroke

SECAUCUS — As of Thursday, Mayor Michael Gonnelli has been released from the hospital to relocate to a rehabilitation center. Throughout this past week, Gonnelli continued to show improvement after a stroke Wednesday, June 8 around 5 p.m. in his home, town officials said.
Officials could not say last week when Gonnelli would speak to the public or the press about his ordeal.
The website has stated that the family has asked residents to refrain from visiting him in the hospital. Send gifts or cards to the Mayor’s Office at Town Hall to be delivered to him.
Councilman Gary Jeffas has been filling in during this time.
Gonnelli is a lifelong Secaucus resident who served as the supervisor of public works before becoming mayor. His four-year term began in 2013.
