Friend,
Public officials are elected by their constituents to represent their best interests, not the other way around.
New Jersey is a notorious breeding ground for corruption. That's why I am stepping up and fighting back.
It isn’t just Senator Menendez who should be in the spotlight. Over the years, our state has been subject to bribes and shady development deals which have consistently flown under the radar during the Murphy Administration.
In the past, Governor Murphy and his administration have failed to take aggressive action to intervene where obvious corruption exists.
I recently introduced legislation to put a stop to the corruption culture that has plagued the Garden State for years. My bill, (S-4075), would give the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) oversight authority over local development offices, where corruption has been identified.
Additionally, the legislation would mandate the EDA to take control of an office, if three or more officials have been charged with corruption. The legislation would be applied retroactively to criminal convictions, indictments, and charges that occurred three years prior to enactment.
Read more about my legislation here.
If the Governor refuses to act, the legislature must instead. It’s high time to pass my legislation which will end the persistent culture of corruption that is ramped throughout the Garden State.
This isn't an episode of the Sopranos. This is real life. It's time we start acting like it and hold those who engage in such activities accountable.
Thank you for your continued support. I will never stop fighting for YOU!
— Senator Michael Testa, Jr.
