Complaint Against Carton Heads To Essex County
MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP (MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ): An ethics complaint from the Middletown Democratic Party’s chairman, Joe Caliendo, was forwarded to the Essex County Bar Association after being reviewed by the Supreme Court of New Jersey’s District Ethics Committee for Monmouth County, District IX.
Caliendo was notified of this in a copy of an October 18 memorandum from Kathleen A. Sheedy, Esq., the secretary for the District IX Ethics Committee, to Seth Zuckerman, Esq., of the Essex County Bar Association.
In his September 15 complaint, Caliendo said, “Peter J. Carton, an attorney employed by Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione, Newark, has admitted in print within the large daily newspaper that, under his authority, he did issue a press release (in his capacity as the chairman of the Middletown Republican Party), which wrongly identified an advisor to the Middletown Democratic Party, Mr. Charles ‘Chuck’
Fallon as an individual who had been convicted criminally of attempting to bribe or bribing an elected official in ‘North Jersey.’ ”
Caliendo said, “That never happened, and this is an absolute lie that Carton should have known was untrue because he has known Mr. Fallon for years. What Carton did was politics at its worst.”
Now that the complaint is heading to the Essex County Bar Association, if sanctioned by that board, Mr. Carton faces severe punishment. “And that is OK because Mr. Carton should be responsible for his behavior and what he says, just like anyone else,” Caliendo said.
Caliendo said that he is pressing forward on the complaint because it is time for “dirty politics” to stop being the focus of elections and for campaigns to start being issue oriented and about what elected officials will and can do for taxpayers.
Caliendo said Carton should step down as chairman of the Republican Party in Middletown, as a Sewer Authority commissioner also and his firm should be terminated as the bond counsel for Middletown Township.
“It’s time to stop dealing the cards off the bottom,” Caliendo concluded.
