Love the shot of the beach chairs. They seem infinite.

Hey, saw you were involved in the infamous NJ Agriculture plight, or blight, is applies when talking about Corzine!

Anyway, I get upset when I see such pending atrocities, especially when they are self created by Government. Corzine first totally fattened up his own little kingdom with waste such as the Inpspector Generals Office and the Public Advocates Office. There are others but these I am familiar with. The Public Advocates Office cost over 19 MILLION TO CREATE and has done nothing and will do nothing. Demand Corzine eliminate this and other such wasted Units, Offices, and Agencys now and give the money to worthwhile ones lke Agriculture!

Here is my Op Ed article about this. Use as you see fit but this is the answer you seek:

New Jersey and Corruption, perfect together!



Ok, here is the problem regarding New Jersey and its corruption: too many acronyms representing too many so-called anti-corruption offices and agencies that are intentionally ineffective. For example, there are the SCI (State Commission of Investigation), the OGI (Office of Governmental Integrity), the OIA (Office of Intergovernmental Affairs), the AG (Attorney General), the IG (Inspector General), and the PAO (Public Advocate’s Office) and even the OAE (Office of Attorney Ethics) just to name a few. The total fiscal expenditure for all (plus those we don’t even know about) reach far into the millions. Especially if you consider the fact that the newest reward club, the Public Advocates Office, has been given a operating budget of $19 MILLION DOLLARS! Yet our newest Governor didn’t eliminate this fraud and waste and create a new, truly effective anti-corruption Agency or Office, but rather created more and also pretended to viciously fight for a much needed sales tax increase!

From within, as a trained, veteran criminal investigator and as a corruption victim, I have been to each and every of these so called "corruption" agencies and provided sound proof of crimes by public officials (police, prosecutors, judges and politicians), and each and every one proved it can be diverted from the more powerfully connected. Only the poorly disconnected or those out of favor will ever find themselves in hot water. When irrefutable proof can be de-factualized (from my own dictionary) despite the existence of evidence from the vaults of the corrupt public officials themselves, then law and justice are simply two elusive concepts that are non-existent within the boundaries of NJ.

For crying out loud, NJ doesn't even have a real Attorney General! Look at the last two has-beens! See No Evil Harvey and Bench Warrant Farber! If we don't have a real Chief Law Enforcement agency in NJ, do you think the lesser half dozen or so "anti-corruption" agencies are going to suddenly become legitimate! They already are being paid off; it’s called a SALARY! And the last State Attorney General was rewarded for not doing anything against this State’s rampant corruption, to the highest judicial position, Chief Justice of New Jersey’s Supreme Court. Upon closer examination this tactic of allowing the Executive branch to jump over and cross the bright line of separation into the judiciary has been going on for years. So consider the ramifications; any legal action against the Executive branch, ergo the AG’s Office, is doomed to fail from the onset since many former employees have been placed into the Judiciary!

Heck, the former head of the State Commission of Investigation closed an investigation into Burlington County legal corruption, and then was made a COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE in the SAME county that the alleged complaint arose! Talk about pay to play! Or worse, how the power brokers, like Norcross, toss their undesirables into the same County judiciary! Thanks! We are sooo much better off for it! The infamous Norcross tapes (those not criminally hidden by the State Investigators with the AG’s Office) were revealed in a local newspaper article how this happened:

“One of the most shocking portions of the transcripts deals with John Harrington, a Norcross political foe whom Norcross said he wanted to eliminate.

"Make him a f------ judge and get rid of him," Norcross says. "Harrington disappears, Harrington becomes a judge, whatever the case. We move on."

Harrison became a County Judge and no one protested!? Pray you don’t ever have an important legal matter involving the well-connected before this State’s judiciary

And it’s important to remember that we can expect no relief from the US Attorneys Office. Yet another Office with a useless acronym. USAO (United States Attorneys Office) Chris Christie was publicly recorded agreeing to come to Burlington County to begin the much needed criminal investigation into its much publicized public office corruption (http://southjerseyjustice.com/USAOsoundbyte.wav ). Like Farber and her bench warrants, he has failed to appear. I assume that he will conveniently wait until after the expiration of the statue of limitations for filing criminal complaints (federal or state) as he did in the infamous Norcross, Gural, and Rosenberg affair.

Well, now it should be our turn. How about we give the ultimate tools to the caring people again, since NJ obviously can't police itself, and since New Jerseyians love to re-elect the same ol’ boy club back into office again and again. This will also be the final test to the in-office politicians. Since the right was taken away by our legislate-from-the-bench NJ Supreme Court lest they themselves become investigated (State of NJ v. Loigman), we must single mindedly demand that our lawmakers immediately prioritize and enact a law that will allow private citizens the unencumbered and unobstructed right (i.e., no prosecutors or judges to "pre-screen" who gets investigated and who doesn't) to appear before State and County Grand Juries to present evidence of crimes or criminal activity. Then let the scurrying of roaches begin when real accountability shines it light!
