With the federal government undermining public trust and weaponizing the DOJ, New Jersey should be expanding efforts to combat abuse of power—not rolling them back. I gave testimony against S4924 yesterday on that very premise—our record shows it, and the public deserves it.

Corruption eats away at our politics no matter where we live. That’s why we need to build an anti-corruption movement to fight against what we see from the Oval Office to our own communities. I went up to Trenton today to stand up for integrity in the face of corruption.

Please call your state reps and senators and tell them to vote No on this bill. It's such an obvious ploy to punish the Comptroller for actually doing their job.

"NJ Sen. James Beach, who chairs the Camden County Democratic Committee and is a close Norcross ally, imposed a strict three-minute time limit on testimony by most of the bill’s roughly three dozen opponents — including, at times, by cutting their microphones — but not its supporters."
Over chorus of complaints, NJ Senate panel advances bill to limit comptroller's powers • New Jersey Monitor
The bill would strip the comptroller of subpoena and investigatory powers, a move critics say is retaliation for the comptroller's probes.

This Thanksgiving, the NJ Senate is killing a gov’t watchdog that stops wasteful spending, giving politically powerful individuals broad powers to intimidate law enforcement fighting corruption & even letting them tap phones. Outrageous.
