COMMUNICATION FROM THE STATE

I JUST GOT THIS FROM THE STATE, SO I AM POSTING ON THIS SITE:

Cryan Points Out Republican Hypocrisy

Joe Cryan, chairman of the New Jersey Democratic Party, issued the following statement in response to the partisan rhetoric by Republicans on political corruption:

"The partisan diatribes by the Republican Party and the self-serving rhetoric from the campaign of Tom Kean Jr. intentionally ignore the fact that political corruption and the abuse of power occur with individuals in both parties.

"From a lineup of Republicans in Monmouth County to a score of Republicans in Congress, and with elected officials, candidates and lobbyists in between, Republicans are full participants in the problem.

"The soapbox that Tom Kean Jr. wants to stand on is tarnished with his own abuses, including a fundraising scheme that collects campaign cash from corporate officers who sit in boardrooms with his father and from executives of a health insurer taken the same day he voted to allow the company to keep a $40 million tax break.

"The problem of political corruption is not unique to either party, but the Republicans are certainly cornering the market on hypocrisy."

    Will Cryan be wheeling bucks into this year's freeholder campaign?
