New Jersey's legal and political system has become an international laughing stock as politicians continue to steal, on the one hand, then to complain that there are "budget short-falls" and a need for drastic "revenue enhancement" measures on the other hand. Talk to me about "ethics" in New Jersey. (An "error" was inserted and corrected in this last sentence.)
There are crooks and thieves everywhere, but nowhere is the political thievery and criminality or stupidity and ignorance as blatant and obvious -- or as shameless -- as in the corridors of power in Trenton, New Jersey. If you live in the Garden State, then you should be furious at what these "made men" are doing with your hard-earned money. They have no decency or ethics. (See "Jay Romano and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.") (Another "error" inserted and corrected.)
"Former State Senator Wayne R. Bryant of New Jersey, who is facing criminal corruption charges, is hoping to tap a new source to help pay mounting legal bills: his campaign account."
Get this:
"Lawyers for Mr. Bryant have filed a request with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission to use money left in the account to pay for defending him against charges that he used his influence to arrange a no-show job for himself at the state medical school."
"Mr. Bryant, 60, a veteran New Jersey lawmaker from Camden" -- that explains a lot! -- "who decided not to run for another term after he was indicted in March, earned $37,000 a year from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey -- on top of his $49,000 salary as a state senator -- in exchange for steering millions in grants to the school, federal prosecutors have said."
No speeches this week honoring good old Wayne?
Mr. Bryant, essentially, stole taxpayer money for doing nothing, allegedly, now he asks to steal donors' money not based on shared political beliefs, but because of his own need for legal representation in a criminal case. Bryant has not been sanctioned by the OAE and was not a target of any OAE investigation prior to the feds indicting him. To my knowledge, based on news accounts, no OAE charges are pending at this time against this legal eagle.
Every attorney accepts fees up front for work to be performed subsequently. How long it will take to perform that work can never be determined ahead of time. This "ethical attorney" from N.J., evidently, scammed taxpayer money for a no-show job (more than one!), and now also seeks to abscond with some donation money, according to news accounts, while being regarded as a highly ethical member of the most corrupt state legal profession in the United States. Maybe Bryant is sharing the loot with the OAE? I wouldn't be surprised.
There are attorneys in New Jersey who, secretly, meet with other lawyers' clients, fail to identify themselves to that colleague, then ask that client to get his or her money back from the first lawyer (who may have just been retained), in order to steal the loot as well as the client. For some reason, such thieving lawyers end up on ethics committees in New Jersey or as judges. Ethics? The OAE illegally solicits grievances, then "evaluates" them and lies about the solicitation.
$4.5 MILLION was paid to Judge Stern's law firm for services necessary to repair the harm from thievery (or "misappropriation") of public moneys at U.M.D.N.J. (where $100 to 400 MILLION vanished) without attracting the curiosity of the OAE. The OAE is an agency that rightly recognizes this sum as "chump change" compared to what is stolen by N.J. lawyers from tax payers "legally." Perhaps the O.A.E. gets a "cut" from the disappearing money?
The answer from OAE officials will be to try to go after me again. (See "A Letter From the DRB, in New Jersey!") Attorneys reimbursing money for incomplete work -- often through no fault of their own -- who are inevitably far more honest and ethical than OAE whores are judged by hacks in Trenton, who then seek to legitimate their criminality with further abuse of victims' rights. No new "errors" inserted yet? (January 11, 2008 at 2:11 P.M.) See "What is it like to be tortured?"
Such government frauds sicken me. You want the judges or election commission to approve your lawyers' application to pocket the dough the chumps sent you, Wayne? Just let them know that you'll kick back something under the table so they can wet their beaks. Easy. Most of the people on that state entity ("sucking on the taxpayer tit") are your buddies from the state house and fellow legal sharks. They'll chuckle with you about it. Don't forget to take care of Anne Milgram. I am sure that Milgram "squares" things with Stuart Rabner. Allegedly.
"A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the former mayor of Newark, Sharpe James, will face two separate trials on corruption charges."
"Mr. James, 71, will be tried alone on charges that he improperly used city-issued credit cards. In another trial, he and a businesswoman whom prosecutors say was his companion will face land fraud charges." (See "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")
In a state like New Jersey -- as obscene as Bryant and James may appear -- they are boy scouts compared to the men in blue suits responsible for the disappearance of millions and even billions from the public coffers. As for efforts to report corruption and incompetence, here is the result of honesty in New Jersey:
"New Jersey's former boxing commissioner is suing the state attorney general" -- Was it Anne Milgram who wrote the "Anonymous" text about an unidentified "ex-attorney"? -- "claiming she [Milgram] ousted him for exposing errors by a subordinate. The former commissioner Larry Hazzard Sr., filed in Federal District Court [Good!] on Friday. Mr. Hazzard, a former boxer and referee, was fired in November. The board oversees boxing in Atlantic City, one of a handful of cities where big prizefights are often fought. A spokesman for the attorney general" -- is it true that Anne Milgram and Stuart Rabner are "chummy"? -- "declined to comment on Tuesday."
I bet. I wonder whether Anne Milgram visited "The Philosophy Cafe"? I wonder whether Anne wishes to renew any philosophical debate with me, publicly? Any time, Anne. Ready when you are.
What is the result of all this thievery, corruption, and cover-ups of criminality?
"Under the Corzine proposals highway tolls would increase by a maximum of 50 percent four times in 12 years -- in 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022 -- and be adjusted for inflation."
More goodies to steal. Hey, fat Tony, we got it made!
