	Board of Chosen Freeholders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Board of Chosen Freeholders is the legislative body in each of the 21 counties in New Jersey.
		Five of the freeholders represent equally-populated districts; four are elected from the county at-large.
		Due to widespread ignorance about what exactly New Jersey freeholders do, a common witticism is to refer to them as "freeloaders," as in "The Board of Chosen Freeloaders." This is not necessarily kind, but it does reflect a persistent public belief that this particular layer of government is redundant and unnecessary.

		“If Freeholder Randall does not take action to correct these ethical lapses, her credibility on ethics issues will be obviated, and the public will have no choice but to call into question her effectiveness and propriety as a member of the freeholder board,” said Maer.
