Assemblywoman Dawn Marie Addiego and Assemblyman Scott Rudder issued the following statements in response to the arrests of numerous elected officials by the FBI today:
“Corruption is not a partisan issue, it effects all New Jerseyans. The scope of this corruption is shocking. The arrests today represent a wide-reaching betrayal of the public trust and a sad chapter in our state’s history. This is disturbing behavior for anyone, but coming from elected officials and religious leaders makes it even more appalling,” said Addiego.
“The people arrested today have abandoned the very people they are designated to serve. The public has the right to expect honest, law-abiding representatives who are above reproach. The corruption, the arrogance and the greed demonstrated today is reprehensible, and they should resign immediately,” added Rudder.
