Johnny hates to feel like he's ever piling on but heavens the Mayor makes it so easy to ask questions about patronage and just what has changed from the last guy on personnel issues. Of course you'd remember the name Sharpe James, the disgraced former Newark mayor, convicted for trying to sell nine city owned lots to his mistress seven years ago. She was also convicted at that trial.
Guess where she works? Steve Fulop's Department of Recreation.
Tamika McReynolds, prosecuted as Tamika Riley makes $15 an hour for around 25 hours of work a week said Jersey City spokesmodel Ryan Jacobs who said, now pay attention because this is curious -- That yes the job was advertised but her background check turned up no problems.
Ryan Jacobs, please blame society and Jersey City taxpayers:
"It's amazing to me how some people are so in favor of the idea of giving our neighbors second chances ... until they are faced with a real-life example of it,"
Except Ryan, she already bilked a city government once. Who runs your background checks that came back, "without an issue" on her application? Please share with us.
What of Diane Coleman, you know, the Ward F councilwoman who said everyone in Ward F had a criminal record? Did she help McReynolds circumvent or get a leg up in the system? She DID testify at the Sharpe James/Tamika Riley trial and all. She does know her.
It's not just about a person trying to set things right with a job. It's a government job that she's already had issues with to that end. It's about Mayor Fulop again turning a blind eye to things he said he'd be hard on. Sure, he hated the leadership of the JCIA and the Parking Authority so he went after them. What about the myriad of others who act out and or commit crimes that can be of benefit to someone either trying to A) Run for governor and B) Pass dicey tax breaks. They get a pass.
Another day, another inconsistency from 280 Grove St.
