John Paff is chairman of the New Jersey Libertarian Party. Mr. Paff is trying to get dozens of Jersey City officials to turn in legally mandated financial disclosure forms and is running into a brick wall. Paff says 47 city officials had not turned in their financial disclosure forms.
“If the citizens are not able to know where this person’s family derives their income, they’re not able to detect that conflict of interest." We agree wholeheartedly Mr. Paff. It's a disgrace these scofflaws won't fill out mandated forms because they are too busy, too lazy OR they are trying to cover something up perhaps.
Of course we couldn't have a story about city government or city compliance without the idiotic statement of the day from Jersey City spokesmodel Jennifer Morrill, who is not so much worrying about people filling out legally required forms but rather who is still on payroll. Morrill points out SOME of the people on Mr. Paff's list no longer work for the city. That's some FINE reasoning Ms. Morrill. Just layabout and never turn them in if you're going to leave city employ or think you might, who cares, right? What's a few legally necessary financial disclosure forms among friends in a city filled with corruption?
2013 cannot get here fast enough.
