More ethical lapses come dripping out of the Fulop Adminsration

The constant drip drip drip of questionable ethical decisions by Mayor Fulop's Administration, which seemingly began even before he took office continued as some previously undisclosed information has come to the fore, Matt Friedman with Politico take it away:

In March 2012, when he was a Jersey City councilman, Fulop was quoted in a Bloomberg article saying that he was quitting his job in finance to run for mayor full-time. The election was scheduled for May, 2013. But some time after the article was published, he took a job with FAPS — a car import-related business that rents space from the Port Authority.

FAPS that year was in the midst of a lease dispute with the bi-state agency.

Emails released Wednesday showed how an aide to Gov. Chris Christie and his appointee at the Port Authority in 2012 used contract negotiations with FAPS to pressure Fulop, a Democrat, to endorse Christie for re-election in 2013.

Now, the Fulop spokesperson Jennifer Morrill says the Mayor or nobody in his administration can speak on this matter because they were advised to keep their yaps shut by the U.S. Attorney's office.

If you're a long-time reader of the Jersey City Desk, you know that whether Jennifer Morrill was saying Fulop sucked for the Healy Administration or that Healy sucked with the Fulop Administration her words have to be checked out thoroughly as facts often elude her. Well guess what, the U.S. Attorney's office said Morrill's comments were, you guessed it, NOT TRUE. You'll be doing yourself a favor by going over to read the full article and see just how badly the Mayor of Jersey City sounds in all this. Mr. Open Government, Mr. Honest Guy is sure not delivering on these counts.
