Fulop’s ‘pay -to-play’ ban on Jersey City Council agenda today
by The Jersey Journal The Jersey City Council will consider at its meeting this morning a "pay-to-play" ordinance that would bar campaign donations from a developer to municipal officials while the developer is negotiating to be named the "designated" builder for a project. The ordinance is sponsored by Ward E Councilman Steve Fulop. Fulop said in a news release last week that the July 23 arrests of City Council President Mariano Vega and eight other Jersey City officials and employees on charges that they accepted bribe money from FBI-informant Solomon Dwek, who was posing as a developer, make the ordinance more relevant. "It’s a hard argument for anybody to say that it’s not necessary," Fulop said yesterday. Read more of Fulop’s ‘pay-to-play’ ban on agenda today in today’s Jersey Journal. |
