Sports, 1C Fort Monmouth was a viable option for an Ebola quarantine facility in part because the buildings in- volved were leaving U.S. Army control and the bu- reaucracy that comes with it, according to emails re- leased to the Asbury Park Press. The U.S. is practically Ebola free — an American aid worker was flown back to Maryland earlier this month for treatment — but that wasn’t the case in October when Gov. Chris Christie’s administration enacted a plan to identify and quarantine individuals who were deemed at risk of having contracted the disease. Part of that plan called for finding secure, isolated locations to quarantine travelers who arrived at New- ark Liberty International Airport from West Africa. Fort Monmouth was chosen by the New Jersey Depart- ment of Human Services to be one such location. It has never been used for that purpose. When the news of the quarantine first broke, the Why was Ft. Monmouth chosen as Ebola site? RUSS ZIMMER @RUSSZIMMER Only people who appeared fine but may have been exposed to the virus would be eligible for the quarantine. See FORT, Page 6A PRESS EXCLUSIVE TRENTON — Education spending, on everything from the PARCC tests to state school aid, looks likely to gain special notice in the coming week as state lawmakers dive into Gov. Chris Christie’s proposed budget. Don’t expect the process to yield a whole lot more money for schools. The subject already has been front-and-center in Senate and Assembly budget hearings, with advocates making their case for funding support from Trenton. Lawmakers generally have expressed sympathy over the concerns, but have been hard-pressed to offer more. There is a both a lack of funds and consensus. Here are the prospects for some of the pressing Education funding at center of talks about budget plan MICHAEL SYMONS @MICHAELSYMONS_ See BUDGET, Page 12A TOMS RIVER — Carlos Serrano says it’s all about free enterprise. Serrano, aka “The Empanada Guy,” sells empana- das, pastries stuffed with chicken, beef, cheese or fish, from his bright red food trucks, emblazoned with The Empanada Guy logo. He has a restaurant in Freehold, but Serrano is best known for the trucks, found in Mor- ris Plains, Old Bridge and Woodbridge, and at food truck festivals throughout the area. Now he wants to bring one of his food trucks to Toms River, perhaps to a vacant lot on Route 37, or maybe to Ortley Beach. The problem? The township’s ordinance governing mobile food vendors requires them to move every 30 minutes. Township Clerk J. Mark Mutter said the ordi- nance dates from 1973, long before the food truck fad.

For a city council to restrict choices for consumers, that’s unconstitutional.” JON HEPNER, PRESIDENT OF NEW JERSEY FOOD TRUCK ASSOCIATION PHOTOS BY TANYA BREEN/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Top: Carlos Serrano sits outside one of his food trucks in Woodbridge on Wednesday.
