Well, if you never thought about how corrupt some Gov't agencies were, you won't believe this.
Since I couldn't find the article to copy and paste, here is the short version of an article printed in the Asbury Park Press today.
It seems that "5 months after returning from a 60-day unpaid suspension for giving no-bid contracts to a boyfriend, municipal Housing Authority chief Mary Jo Grauso was awarded a $4,000 bonus Tuesday on top of the standard 3 percent raise"
"Authority commissioners defended the raise and bonus..."
Ok, this stinks so bad it makes the Landfill on Staten Island smell good, no offense to Staten Island....can you believe this...I mean, ok, I'm all for giving folks a raise, even though I'm sure there was a major ethics violation here, and nothing short of possible criminal activity...BUT, to throw a bonus to someone who, at the least, violated something strong enough to warrant a 60 day suspension?????
There needs to be an investigation into this and I hope the State Attorney General has been appraised of this situation and is starting the wheels to get to the bottom of this fiasco. If it is found that the commissioners violated any laws or ethics, at the least, they should be removed from their positions immediately....
