I believe that you are very sincere in addressing and correcting some of the problems which have submerged the State of New Jersey into the present financial crisis. By enacting a state law, which makes it illegal for politicians to hold more than one elected position, may be a step in the right direction.
The excuse which some of the dual positions elected politicians tell the public may sound convincing to some but in reality they use their influence to keep the New Jersey State Attorney General from investigating their local activities. The state attorney has to depend on the State Senate and Assembly for their appointments and funding. And if they aspire to the position of judges on the New Jersey Supreme Court, their appointments have to be approved by those legislators. This situation in appearance shows that the interest of the general public is not being protected. Perfect example, the School Construction Corporation.
Governor Corzine, do what the new governor of New York State recently did by executive order; when an elected politician runs for another position, he or she must resign the position elected to.
We read in the newspapers about all kinds of local illegal activities but very rarely does the Attorney General investigate those activities. Why?
Respectfully,
Justo Delgado
